Never used a jig but a full flat grind using files is gonna be a tedious process. How thick is the steel? Is a half grind not enough to make it a usable blade?
When I grind with a machine it's all about feel. Grind a few passes, visually inspect, and repeat. After a while you know what part of the knife you are grinding by the feel and pressure. |

THe steel I've used so far is O1 tool steel. And it was 3/16" thick. It's not that the grind isn't good enough, I just want to know HOW one can achieve it. I know if I had a belt sander I could do more (yeah yeah I know, be poor somewhere else) the file jig is what I have right now.
