Now I will enjoy seeing you post, because I can laugh at your signature over and over!

I'm still gigglin'

Hey! wait a second... does that mean you didn't enjoy my posts before?!? :grumpy:

 

[go mike]

I don't expect newbies to know that S30V doesn't come heat treated :/

AcridSaint, that's why I removed the poster's name. I don't intend to embarrass anyone! Nor am I a mean-spirited person.

Believe me, I'm very much aware that no one is born knowing any of this. Please note that I didn't put it in my sig until I was certain the person who said it, didn't mind.

Thanks for your concern; I think what you're getting at is that we should welcome new folks and help them whenever we can. I certainly agree with that!

This one was funny too... I removed the name as an act of mercy...



The difference is, I think he really meant it. Egads, I wish it was that easy I asked the poster if I could use it in my sig line but he never responded, so I didn't

galadduin, is that a buffing wheel in your drill press? How's that working for you?

Loved your sig... I thought of him too, I guess he did meant it, you're right.

The small buffing wheel on my drill press was my first buffer, it is about 5 years old I always use very slow speeds for buffing, so either it is on my drill press either on my grinder they do work ok for me. This drill press wheel is mostly used for bolsters and guards, and sometimes I use it for scales...

Thanks galadduin. I asked because it looks safer than a big bench buffer running at 1600RPM or whatever. I may have to get one o f those and check it out.

I told my wife I can do in five minutes now what used to take 3/4 to one hour by hand.

Isn't that great! I was using a 4x36 spinning at I believe 2000 fpm and that took quite some time. My new grinder spins at 5600 fpm so the steel almost melts away!! hehe... But seriously for hogging spinning at warp speed speeds things up, but so does that nanocsecond from everyting nice to the FUF standing on yer shoulder! Heh, swap the motor and drive pulley and see what happens...
