BCK Multi Guide Pro Mounted on an Oregon Blade Maker 2" x 72" Sander

[BelnapCustomKnives]

This is one of the bevel guides and mounts that I make shown mounted on an Oregon Blade Maker machine.
The machine is sitting on a custom made plate with the slide mounts base clamp attached to it. Once this is set up it is very quick to use.

Is that a good grinder? I was looking at getting one for myself.

I can not answer in detail about the grinder. I made the Multi Guide Pro and the slide mount and sold it to this guy. He mounted it on his OBM machine and sent the pictures back to me. For me personally it is not a machine I would buy. But neither is any other machine so that is why I build my own sanders. It does seem to be a reasonable value though. I have bought other OBM products such as wheels and have been pleased with the quality and price. My personal machines are very fast and high horsepower. My methods of grinding are not the same as most people you see.
This is a video of grinding on a heat treated blank using my prototype guide. Belt is a 36 grit 3M cubitron II running at 7200 surface feet per minute. I have ground more than 50 blanks using this same exact belt edge down and it is still going. Grinding edge up the best I ever got was 19 blanks before the grit was all stripped off.
The actual grind on this video took around 20 minutes. I was going slow because the blank was heat treated and I did not want to burn the edge. When I grind bevel pre-heat treat I go faster and the metal really flies off and a blank like this would take 5-7 minutes to grind.

Hi,

I you are referring to the guide and slide I can help with that. I make and sell them. This picture is from a customer that installed it on his machine and then sent the pictures back to me.
The Multi Guide Pro is $275.00 shipped in the USA. The straight slide mount is $250.00 Shipped USA. The OBM compatible base clamp for the slide is $10.00 and ships free when ordered with the slide mount. The slide mount normally comes with a base clamp. The OBM base clamp has longer plates and the machine actually sits on them as shown. Visit the site shown in my signature if you want to see more details. There is a Guide and slide combination that is discounted when ordered together. I work overseas on a 6 week rotation and only make these things when I am home. Next time I am home starts in late August. There is a waiting list available. If you want on the waiting list contact me via the contact us form on my website.
