Shaun Miller I believe that it is just a piece of metal clamped down a bit away from the contact wheel. That way it is easier to grind because you don’t have to angle the blade exactly right over and over again. It’s just easier
What angel are you using for razor, also how close . I'm retired and just a hobby , I can't seem to get correct the dimension from top to bottom. Thanks
Not sure I understand your question. For razor geometry: start with stock that is 1/4-inch thick, grind on a 4-inch diameter contact wheel to achieve a quarter-hollow grind, and the final width of the blade should be 7/8-inch from edge to spine.
Razor geometry should be around a 15° angle. So it’s 3.5-4 x your thickness. 1/4” stock razor should be a 7/8 or 8/8 razor like this. If you used 1/8” stock you’d want your width to be between 7/16”-1/2” from edge to spine. ruclips.net/video/isPvvVdyQio/видео.html
Josh we don't really do restoration work, if that's what you're asking. If you want a razor sharpened, check out the "honing services" page on our website!
Nothing more beautiful than a straight razor.
Agreed!
I appreciate the peek into your process.I also noticed you still use the old mark 1 eyeball in your shop.really neat skills you have .cheers -cam-
caleb McCullough I think they upgraded to the Mark 1 Mod 19 CALIBRATED eyeball. :-D
Is that a jig ? Or just a straight piece of metal as a guide.... looks a real cool grind

I wonder if i could use this platen set up to help me grind the hollows on a knife
Nice work, guys. Did you build your grinder?

how thick was the stock he started with...is that quarter inch?
Stock thickness depends on the width of the razor you want to make... We would use 1/4 inch stock for a 7/8 width razor.
what brand of grinder machine is ?
DIY brand!
What do you charge to grind on some old German razors I have? They haven't been completed on the edge side. I think there blanks

What size contact wheel is that ?
4-inch, I believe.
wow, that grinder just eats away at the steel
