Eric, You need to find a hand-cranked grinder... Or one driven by foot oedals. Waterwheels and windmills are also acceptable... Maybe, just maybe, a mandrel driven from a hit-and-miss engine via a flat leather belt would get the nod. John Ruth Old Order Neanderthal |

Hey Eric I have a large vintage 2 x 17ish wheel with crankshaft and all sitting in the garage I can sell for a good price! ;-) Don On 2022-04-21 10:31 p.m., John Ruth wrote: > Eric, > You need to find a hand-cranked grinder... > Or one driven by foot oedals. > > Waterwheels and windmills are also acceptable... > > Maybe, just maybe, a mandrel driven from a hit-and-miss engine via a flat leather belt would get the nod. > > John Ruth > Old Order Neanderthal > > > > > -- God's away on business - Tom Waits "...it's just a humpty dumpty world" - Ry Cooder |

Eric & GG's, You've heard of "flattening the back?" Applying a round abrasive wheel to the back of a blade, freehand, cannot be good for flatness. John Ruth |

Deburring ? Surely a deburring wheel would be leather, or a stitched mop well charged with a medium coarse grade of abrasive - enough to manage a serous strop and remove the burr. The video sounds like a conventional grinding wheel contacting the surface. Richard Wilson whose only burrs these days are the sort that a strop removes, and leaves edges too sharp to feel.

Eric, It looks to me like a good gentil-ish cleanup before a final flattening. Nice grinder! Watching the loose jacket close to the spinning grinding wheel kinda givin’ me the willies. Careful. Don’t want that spinning beast wadded up in your armpit. Kevin |

A deburring wheel is quite unlike a grinding wheel. It is composed of a fibrous material, presumably in a slurry of grit which is then compressed into a wheel. While I have never measured it's "grinding ability" I have been using these for years and never experienced any "gouging" as one would expect from a grinding wheel. From my metalwork experience, I suspect the clean-up passes in that video don't even remove more than .0001 Eric |
