sword blade started/FINISHED
Indeed, had I a milling machine, I certainly wouldn't be asking about using a bench grinder.

Tony, I see your point. I had considered the concave grind from the smaller wheel, but maybe had underestimated how much it would be.

Thats it Marcvs you need a large wheel to do this I will pull some pics on off Medieval grind smiths and you will get a idea of how big they need to be, another solution would be to buy a cheap sword that just about has most of the work done and strip of the handle and ditch the scabbard.

Apologies for any confusion I created. I was attempting to show an example of the technique of running a blade lengthwise down the grinding wheel, not by any means implying that a milling machine would be available. Big Grin

Sorry for any inconvenience.

:oops:

And I agree with the blades feeling different when milled out. I grind all my personal work by hand from flat stock on my pedestal grinder. It certainly lends a sense of personality and ownership to the work. Smile
