badass, thank you

[@GaskillKnives]

You’re welcome

[@robertduguay689]

I thought that you had to double the angle on the second side ?

[@shaunm2208]

i have the same surface grinder i am wondering if i can use it for distal taper. thanks for sharing

[@Dash199t]

You can, I use mostly the same technique to do this with my surfacegrinder. Works great, tapereing the tang afterwards/before is more timeconsuming, I just to it by hand.

Good video. Question though what adjustment did you make for the other side? Didi you have to double the measurement? Thanks

[@GaskillKnives]

Thanks.. just reset the pin to zero and use the same spacer. Essentially doubling the measurement.

@@layneandty awesome. Thanks!
I've been tapering them by hand on the flat platen. This looks like it's a bit more consistent and repeatable.
