Looking forward to seeing the ditchman grind. I think a well true grind goes to making the knife look that little bit more.

That belt grinder really looks the business mate I'm looking foward to seeing your first blade come from it ,

with the plunge you want to try and graduate it into the ricassio and not have to much of a step as it can cause a weakness in the blade going from thick steel to thin to quickly ,

After all the technical talk about angled nipples and grinding , I was wondering if you could buy one of these machines from Ann Summers now Valentines day is just around the corner :lol: 

With this project turning into a full time commitment , are you getting time to pop into Brundall for your tail end of Haddock ?

Nice work.

It looks to me like it would benefit from some support behind?

I guess you will know once you fire it up if that bracket is a little boingy

 

pay attention now..:lol:.....if you red the verbage you would have seen that it is my intention to make an "A" frame for the rear..it is without it....as you say a bit springy....i will then get the moter and make a frame and a clutch sysyem...check the operation ....then make a frame/bed for it all to sit on ...so i can move it about the shed as im stuck for space....

.......there will be a test at the end of this to check everyone has been paying attention..........:hmm:

I was just thinking ditchman, on my Makita belt sander there's a graphite and cloth backing pad that sits over the base plate and under the belt, I suppose it's there's to reduce friction between the plate and belt, would your machine need one of these?

not only but also, I got a nice chunky bit of oak in the shed if you want to make a base plate to fix all that to.
