SonderingSusan Report post Posted February 1, 2017 Hey Everyone, Would anyone know a place in Europe where i can order the stick for taking the birr off the inside of the bell knife on my skiving machine ? Ive been trying to order from Global in Holland and finding them extremely slow and unhelpful- 11 e-mails later still no order placed. Also, if there is somewhere in the USA you know of please let me know. I am very desperate to get my hands on one at this stage. Picture included to clarify what I'm looking for. Thanks everyone , and any/ all help or advice appreciated greatly !, Best, S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fredk Report post Posted February 1, 2017 You can make one yourself. Get a length of doweling from a DiY outlet [about 1.5 Euro] Get some Wet & Dry paper from a car accessory shop or the DiY shop [about 0.75 E per sheet] Glue the W&D paper around a piece of the dowel Job done; and ready for you to de-burr the blade I use 600 grade W&D to de-burr my cutting blades. 1200 or 2000 if I want a really polished edge. Two alternatives are a pipe de-burrer which plumbers use after they've cut through copper pipe. A good hardware store will have that; they'll cost from about 10 E upwards, but they can be a bit coarse for the job or a 'rat-tail' round file, costs about 3 E upwards for a quality one. I use one for sharpening my individual round and oval hole punches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw in Campbell Randall Parts available for Fortuna/ FAV skiver. http://www.campbell-randall.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=49_76_114 About $9.00 sounds pretty good. Also take a look at this roller foot as I would recommend it if you don't have already.. http://www.campbell-randall.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=49_76_114&product_id=14495 Regards Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gigi Report post Posted February 2, 2017 I took a couple of photos at a local store today, the orange is the one you need (black one is the one for the grindstone), they are imported from Italy (sorry: I don't know for sure if made in Italy or the brand or about the quality). Those sell under 6 Euro (orange one is a bit cheaper). If you think it's okay I can send it (shipping it's about 5 Euro). HTH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyAussie Report post Posted February 2, 2017 That is what is so good about this forum you get to learn something new every day. In the 30 + years I have been manufacturing and using these machines I have never heard before that the correct tool was sandpaper glued to a stick. I have only ever bought the stone in the stick type before as shown above and in the link I referred to. Thanks electrathon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuttish Report post Posted February 2, 2017 The round end of a high speed steel drill bit works just fine to roll the burr over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
