If I could get the search function to work, I would continue a previous thread.
Since I can't, I'll start this one. As you may or may not recall, I just recently got a BM 910 CHISEL GRIND old new stock Stryker and found to my dismay that it was NOT what I wanted. It also had a problem with the linerlock engaging too far into the blade making it hard to release. So I sent it to BM and told them of the problem and also requested that they consider replacing the whole thing with a PE satin one.
And THEY DID! Oh joyous morn!!!!
This thing is so purdy! All them grind lines to ponder! And SHARP??? Wooowiee! This thing is so sharp it is unbelievable. Beyond SCARY!
...DIABOLICALLY EVIL SHARP !!!.....
If you sweep it through the air, it leaves a contrail of split oxygen atoms.
Jab it forward and it spears gnats and skeeters.
Close it and my fingers go numb with fear.
Or ...SHAVE...with it. Holy Moley! It barely depresses the skin and the hair flys off like behind a Snapper lawnmower. And at the same time, skin bacteria are screaming in pain from being cloven in twain.
Here's what it looks like:
Now...my dilemma. I...have....to have this with me every waking moment. If not to save the day or thwart evil, just to stare at the grinds and figure how they set the belts and wheels to get so much angularity.
And....OF COURSE....the FIRST ....SCRATCH !!!
So...any suggestions on how to moderate the anxiety and eventual pain?
Should I stab it repeatedly into a bag of coarse gravel?
Shake it in a bucket full of chicken wire?
Throw it at roofing shingles?
What?
Oh it's so purdy! pant pant pant...
(am I getting too excited?)
