Advanced Grinding

Difficulty:

This one day intensive course is for people wanting to further develop their grinding skills. The course will be using the Radius Master 48" grinders as well as the DJ Grinder 72" belt grinder. It will cover shaping and profiling, edge geometry, blade grinds - hollow, convex, flat, chisel and scandi. We'll also look at finishing with belts.

Grindling takes a stead hand, a few tips and plenty of practice. This course will give you the latter two, you'll need to bring the first one.

Participants need to bring either some previously forged blades or, if using the stock removal method, profiled blanks. A minimum of four blades will be needed, eight is preferred, as we'll be making lots of steel dust.

  • Cost $350 per person
  • Course goes from 9am until 4pm
  • Includes belts, equipment, safety gear.
  • Please bring lunch.
  • Minimum 3 maximum, 4 participants
