1st Project - KMG Style Knife Making Grinder.....basic concept borrowed from Rob Frink at Beaumontmetalworks.com

2 hp variable speed belt grinder 2"x72" belts
I still have to make the stand, a rest and a platten attachment but it is usable at this point.
I finally finished the multi purpose platten attachment. With this you can flat grind on any angle or use the 1 1/2" contact wheel or the 5" contact wheel for different contours. The original concept for the use of contact wheels on the platten was an idea I borrowed idea from Ed Caffrey "the Montana Bladesmith".
