Once that thing is running, it will be oil covered anyhow.
but if you must.... 2K primer then fill with Bondo. Sand, 2k primer then topcoat with the color of yer choice.
Seems the consensus is composite. I was curiuos as to what guys were using.
I tried leather on my hammer and it just kept stretching and stretching. Finally switched over. No wonder they invented composite.
I have belting and gator clips but thanks guys for the contacts. bruce/birdog
Steve, I rather enjoyed the open-type discussion we had, other than the folks butting in with non -knifemaking stuff and verbal meles.
Like Irnsgn said, you da boss. jmo
I have an old Browne and Sharp(I think) surface grinder that had a motor added to the back to run it. I checked the original motor and it still works. I reckon the belt broke and they just added the other motor rather than go thru the aggravation of making a new belt.
My question is, should I go with a leather belt or a composite?
Thanks bruce
