Looking for a grinder

[garyb252]

I am looking for a grinder that will automaticaly grind the profile of a knife.

Why not just buy knife blanks, anything that would automatically profile different style blades would surely be cost prohibitive to a small maker.

I'd also like to add that you gain no experience that way.

You don't want a grinder, you want a CNC milling machinine.

Just buy them pre ground from koval or texas knife maker supply,add scales and presto.

Ditto striper28, no grinder will do that but a CNC milling machine will do it and if you have to ask how much you can't afford it IMO!

I would think if you want blades profiled, contact a laser or water jet cutter. Or like the gents above already mentioned, buy blades from on of the many suppliers. -- Charles


Of course you could just buy a bandsaw, grinder and drill press, and eat steel dust like I do

Hey Charles, when ya eat steel dust, what do ya put on it? Epoxy sauce?

I am looking for what I believe is called a pantograph-grinder, where you put a blank in one are, and the second arm mimics its shape.
I would like to buy one or have someone come in and build one.
I would do this in our shop, with our people.
Thanks

Usually yes, but sometimes I like a side of cutting fluid for a kick
