Members dikman Posted June 6, 2021 Members Report Posted June 6, 2021 You're definitely overthinking this! I agree with MikeRock, it should be more than adequate to clean up the blade.

MikeRock Posted June 7, 2021 Report Posted June 7, 2021 Dikman, Thank you. I have been making metal chips for nearly sixty years and have surfaced and polished up a bunch of round/head knives. Hard backed, hand sanding is THE way to go on this gently curving surface, as well as the flat. God bless Quote

Will a hard baked sandpaper do a nice job? I have an idea where I will use spray adhesive to mount the sandpaper on a granit or marble floor tile. Then make a linkage-dinky-mount on to the orbital sanpaper machine... Or take all the rubber off the sander and replace it with solid metal or ceramic to attach the sandpaper to the sander.... My friend always is telling me I am over-thinking and incorporating unnecessary steps in a process to achieve results desired.... Make me go Hummm...and my wife kicked me out of my own shop a few hours ago. Looks like tomorrow night is a date night. JOE your friend is right. You could have been done days ago. But thats how we learn i've done the same. 16 hours ago, MikeRock said: Dikman, Thank you.
