i learned a couple things THANKS!! KEEP THEM VIDEOS COMING
Im not really a knife maker, but more of modder. I do get a lot of requests for mirror polishing of high-end OTF's and other pocket knives. I can get there, but theres the very slightest bit of haze that i battle with, if turned at a certain angle in the right light. Is that something you ever struggle with?
That's so much better than hours of hand sanding, thanks for the tip Dan.
I like the tape on the magnet, nice touch... that's why I bought the Strong hand welding magnet, it has a switch... I tried the ones like you have, but didn't want to scratch my blades... The strong hand cost more, but honestly, for me, the time it takes to tape everything up(twice), it's worth it... I didn't realize they made those belts, I've always looked, but only found 800- 1000 cork belts or Trizact, which are very stiff over A16... Definitely getting some TODAY, haha...take it easy...
Excellent
Nice video! My grinder doesn't have a speed controller, so hand sanding is how I get it done, takes a lot longer but the end result is the same. I didnt see any type of dust collector .
You should consider a respirator, especially with the finer grit belts!!
Been missing your videos lately. Keep up the great work.
That was a fantastic video I am a new knife maker and what you showed just changed my whole way of thinking
Glad I could help

Looks great.
Just ordered a 2x72 ,motor and VFD today.
awesome. They make all the deference.
well done mate
Good stuff.... I have the same grinder and only been at this for a year now so still learning. Thanks!
Always enjoy your videos! Nice work
Beautiful work! Subscribed 👍🏻
You might want to use a magnet to pull the metal dust out of the air & or abrasive belt. What series/Brand of belts do you find work best ? I looked for a felt belt recently, no luck. Who makes the felt belt for the 2x72 Grinder ?
Great video thanks. Would you suggest hand sanding the bevels or the same on the 2x72?
Love your videos mate keep up the good work
Can I use a ken onion knife sharpener with belts
Where did you get that magnetic handle?
found it on amazon
Dose this extend your top bevel line out towards the tip? Thanks
I have a question, the joint of the belt does not mark the blade?
Some belts will. The felt backed fine grit belts work better
Are these SO belts?
Hi Dan, Where did you get your magnet? Thanks..MG
amazon
Hi Dan. Do you have a link or name of the item? Thanks
www.amazon.com/Master-Magnetics-Powerful-Ergonomic-07501/dp/B000J3RYMU/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=magnet+with+handle&qid=1550352077&s=gateway&sr=8-4
Something similar at harbor freight about 8 bucks I think
what was that last belt and what did you put on it?
Flints metal polish
Hi Dan. Please tell me you wear a respirator when grinding?
Yes absolutely, although I have to admit many times i just walk over and grind a little w/o it. I should know better!!
