    Man I needed this video like in a bad way. I had built my own 2x72 grinder about a year ago and although it was my first foray into welding I think I did a decent job although the welds look horrible. In any case I have been having the hardest time getting the tracking right. Can't tell you how many knives I have made over the past year and always have to straighten out the plunge lines with good old hand filing. This is even harder and more time consuming when making my camp choppers.
    I watched this video last night and when I saw the part about having a bolt at the top of the tacking mechanism that allows you to rotate the whole tacking assembly forwards or backwards it was like a light went off in my head. What??? I thought I had everything lined up but apparently not. I got up this morning and remade my whole tracking assembly. Had to make a few modifications since I didn't have any 1/2" plate lying around but I can tell you this made all the difference. Just rotating it forwards or backwards just every so slightly can correct a misalignment if all your wheels are not exactly perfectly lined up.
    Thanks for this video. Saved me from taking the whole dang thing apart and starting over.

    Simplicity at its finest. The Revolution is shaping up to be one hell of a great design. You're doing a damn good job and hopefully I can get to building mine soon. I've got a few things to rearrange and setup in the barn when health cooperates.

  • @AlanAlanAlanDave
    @AlanAlanAlanDave 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Would the proposed rotating tracking mechanism allow the existing tracking wheel adjuster bolt to still work? I would say you would be twisting the bolt in the threads. I don't know if this makes any scene.

    • @HouseMadeUS
      @HouseMadeUS  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah it still works, the threads are in the tracking arm not in the mechanism, so the mechanism can move freely but once the bolt is locked down it stays put.
