Friend, I have one of Bill's file guides. The carbides came off due to heat and dipping. I re-glued them on using T-88 epoxy after using my engraving machine to make a floral design to give them more of a rough gluing surface. They have been used on over 50 knives with no problem. Totally great product!

I appreciate all your tips. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Bought a guide from Bill myself. Awesome product and service.

Just got one from him two days ago...belts do not touch the carbine..very good tool that will pay for its self

Definitely would be an extremely benefical tool especially for those that are going to be making a lot of knives, etc... I checked the price on the Carbide ones and it would cost me about $150 including international shipping to the States. Definitely something I would consider after I get started and really know that I am going to be making more and more knives. Thanks for sharing Jeremy.

Thanks for sharing, looks like a nice design!

Excellent! Love it.

The intro to too time is actually so freaking good

I like that is has more mass to it so it will not bend as easily and the carbide should last a long time. Nice tool.

Been looking for a good file guide and it’s $125 I think and that’s really nice price for a carbide file guide. Most were 200$ about. The carbide is basically impossible to grind to file it’s about 92 hrc for carbide and files are much softer. That’s saying something. Thanks for the video I’m definitely buying one in the future ASAP

A new file guide is on the list 4 sure!!

Great Video and info!

Iam learning so much from your videos. Thank you!

Awesome video! I absolutely love your channel. I’m just starting, and I’m learning so much from you. Did you get the steel or aluminum file guide from bill?

Great tool

For the price I can not justify the expense right now. I currently use a section of hardened 52100 that works well for filing not sure on the grinder though I do not have mine built yet. Anyway I guess we shall see soon enough.. Cheers, Martin

Just started knife making and I am so glad I found your channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

Huh, I never knew that about the pins... I made one with aluminium covered it with hardened 52100... I made the 4 holes, but i thought that was to move the screws for bigger blades... Looks like i have to go make some pins, hahaha... I use my mill(basically the same one you have) for jimping, I just put up a video today on how i do it... Take it easy...

I use mine for squaring up scales for bolstering.

I bought that Behnke guide when you posted it on instagram. Very very well made, though I worry a little bit about the adhesive breaking if I over tighten the bolts. How tight have you torqued yours?

Right on👍I haven't measured it or anything, but I just tighten it until the blade feels good and secure. I'm surprised how little I feel I am tightening it and it hasn't ever some loose on my when I'm using it yet. I notice that with the pins in this one I have to tighten it far less than the one that I made without the pins. 👍

Witch carbide I'd be more concerned about tools that are touching it than about carbide itself. It's really hard to cut it even with thin cutting discs for angle grinder. Thanks for the video, I alwys wait for new one to come.

Yeah that's for sure! I always wondered why some people say that they are concerned about wrecking their guides when using these carbide ones. You're welcome and thank you for watching!

what is the name of the little violin riff that plays at the end of all your videos, I am very much a fan

I just purchased the file guide and came back to this video to see what the pins were for and you mentioned jimping and I’m curious as to what the file you showed for forming the jimping was. If you see this post could you please tell me or if you have a video on the process would you please send me a link to the video. Thanks

Yeah. I think the pins on the file guide are to help keep both sides very precisely lined up. I did a video on the checkering file I use for jumping here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aniE27hpcs2cpbg.html. Cheers👍

Jeremy, I have a dumb question, but it might not be stupid. Couldn't one use a pair of 1-2-3 blocks bolted together for a file guide? Not sure of the metal in a 1-2-3 block or if they ave already been hardened. Appreciate the information.

I use a gide but I always get a step on my plung line even tho the gide isn't moving. To bad I can't upload pics to show it

That's interesting. I do wish KZread allowed pictures comments. I would make a lot of the communication much easier.😀👍

I use a 2x72 by the way

So this wouldn’t work with a bevel jig would it?

How many LPI is your checkering file? Thanks....

I enjoy your work. But I just have to say that you should give more details in your videos instead of saying "I don't know I'll put it in the description" even if it means you have to stop for a second to look it up. A video that has a lot of editing done to it is better than a video with a lot of I don't knows.
