I built my own 2x72 sander with VFD. I use it for all sorts of things. Except knife making. Hoping to get the bug to start again.
This is the last knife made about 5 yrs ago. Steel is CPM D2. Crio treated between tempers by another knifemaker friend. We shot for 61 to 62 RC  Anyone else let life get in the way of a hobby? |

I made the sheath also. It's a little too form fitted. Have to insert the knife carefully to not slice the sheath!

That looks great! Very clean.
I have a 2x72 that I bought for making knives. It gets used daily for everything except making knives.

I've built 2 2x72 belt grinders know. I only build about 2 knives a year. I don't really enjoy it all that much.
The 2x72 is endlessly handy to have in the shop though. 1st one  Attached File2nd one  Attached File Attached File |

Here's the one I built built. The buffer in the back is for putting a freakishly sharp edge on knives. The other grinder is for buffing. Also made the adjustable platen and rest.Almost never use the rest.

I love tools!

With that one, I actually bought a kit which came with plans, hardware and pre-cut flat pieces. Look up HouseMade on YouTube. Definitely worth the price. He's worked out most of the bugs, plus he lists sources for the motor and VFD options. |
