Grinder set up

[Kaliandk9s]

Well I have been putting money aside for a while now to get myself some tools to actually start putting a real effort into making knives. This has been aided by Luftansa misplacing my suitcase, and I am looking at getting a kmg grinder with a very basic level set up. At least until I can get myself some better acc. for it. I was wondering what people would suggest for tooling up one of these grinders.

You just need the basics, the flat platten attachment, small wheel attachment and a 10" contact wheel. You'll need a couple extra tool arms to you can do quick configuration changes. Add in variable speed and you'll be set

That's it. The KMG 10" grinder Pkg. is really all you need. I make lots of knives with nothing more. The small wheel is super handy, and the rotary platten rocks. you will deffinetely want extra tooling arms for super quick change-overs. If you have the choice, I would get the rubber wheels on your flat platten. They run a lot smoother, and make it nice to grind contours with them.
Have fun.
