So far I have gotten the grinding machine to it's finished state. I had to spend time machining a plate attachment for me to grind against that attaches to the front. It functions as a shelf.




I began grinding on a blank piece of steel to get the hang of making a consistent grind.

I start with the main beveled edge. The grinder is ideal for this task because the flat backing behind the belt makes for a smooth consistent surface. 



The piece I was using was actually a blank that was already in the shop that someone cutout. I was displeased with my work so I think I may start fresh and come back to this one later. 



The second try was a fresh pice of steel that I mad a very specific plan for. 
I cut out the shape of it on the bandsaw and ground down the edges.

I once again, ground in a bevel.


Here it is after a bit more polishing and grinding.
