New Knives and some look on workshop (WIP)

[Daniel Rohde]

I really like some or the ideas in that grinder! very cool.

 

[Daniel Rohde]

what kind of speed control is that? I really like the size ans they say it doesn't lose torque(BTW if you want to read what they say just copy and paste the words into Google translate or something like it)

Probably I'll buy this WARCO Surface grinder in next couple of months.


For making folder knives what is better for Surface grinder, Grinding wheel or grinding belts?

And someone can help me with info about HT of 1065 steel ??

 

[Kosa_PL]

And here is a "small" knife in progress

SK "Metro" 1065 steel 4,5mm

Hello,

I'm thinking now to get my own knife kiln.

The Paragon KM-18D with:
- upgrade 3-key to 12-key ,
-usb port (inc software)
- gas inlet
- solenoid connected to 12-key
- black
- s-type t/c
- mercury relay


Will be a good choice ?
Probably I'll get it, in couple of months (collecting $$) from UK distributor.

Lookin' good. I too am intrigued by the grinder. Does it have variable speed? I just saw an on/off switch.

 

[Kosa_PL]

With VFD this grinder have variable speed

Mostly shipped with additional charge with Siemens Sinamics V20 VFD for 240V 50Hz AC 1 phase.
Grinder run on Siemens 1,2kW 2485rpm 3phase engine. ( this engine with VFD works in 3x 230V mode, without VFD you need 3x380V) + about 250$ you have a nice base frame with place for VFD.

Working on

 

[Kosa_PL]

How about this one ?

 

[Kosa_PL]

Hello everyone in this sunny day

From time to time, I was thinking about to make my own Slipjoint knife, and finally I started making prototype
3mm 80CrV2 steel + 3,5mm G10

For v.2 slipjoint I'll use Bohler N690 2,5mm steel. Acid etch + Stonewash
And 1,5mm Titanium 6Al4V for liners, sandblasted + anodized, but now I thinking abour spring material.
Scales probably from Black G10 or C-Tec.
For spring can I use N690 or 2,5mm Titanium?
Washers = Nylatron GS 0,28mm or 0,51mm , Screw pivot assebled, to give chance of cleaning knife


Some tips ?

 

[Fiddleback]

Those look great!

 

[Wanimator]

Love the look of that slip joint. Very fresh. Will it be a one or two hand opener?

 

[Kosa_PL]
