    What scotch bright wheels do you use for your grinders there?

    Great video! Great setup! What wheels do you use on your grinders? Look like Scotchbrite wheels on the lower grinder and sisal wheel above. What grit are the two lower wheels? Thanks again!

    Thanks! The wheel I blended the bolster on is scotchbrite. They don’t really do a specific grit. The buffing wheel is cloth.

    Seems to me that you are putting a lot of heat into that blade without cooling it in water between changing sides. Can you tell me why?

    When you use a rough belt like that that is specifically designed for cutting tempered steel, you use light pressure to let the belt do the work, and use a sharp belt, very little heat is actually generated. The blade barely got what could even be considered warm during that process.

    Timely topic. I hate bolsters. Would you tackle on stones without use of grinder and belt? I also have a dremel for dog nails.

    I would use a block of wood wrapped in sandpaper instead of a stone. You would likely gouge your stone out if you used it to grind the bolster down.

    Could you do it with a Ken onion?

    It would technically be possible, but it wouldn’t be that easy with that narrow of a belt.

    Hollow bolsters, never heard of that. 😕
