Hollow grind chart?

DHackney · Sep 27, 2004

Hi folks,

I started my first lesson in hollow grinding. The first side went a lot better than I had anticipated.

My question - my instructor (Steve Rollert of Dove Knives) had a chart (looked somewhat like a slide rule) where you could select the contact wheel size, along with the thickness of the steel and come up with the width of the bevel that was allowable with this combination. Does anyone know what this do-jiggy is called and where I can get one?

Many thanks,

I see someone else has written up Rob Frink's calcs as a spreadsheet - http://members.home.nl/b.ollivier/html/charts.htm

Can't find Rob's old page on his site, however.

Sorry, I had to delete the hollow grind calculation page from the web site. I started running out of bandwidth and had to wack several pages.

sincerely,
Rob
