Love your products, but this jig seems like it takes so much more time and fiddling to get the grinds in on your blade. I don't like that it's harder to see what your grinding. Seems like scribing a center line and setting a work rest to and angle would be faster and still accurate
Love your Machine..! Brilliant design..practical use of triagulation & rotation of pulleys thru' the circumference of the Grinder belt...! Did a similair design in 1991 & you have certaonly perfected it..! I commend you...! May i be cheeky in asking whether you would make Plans available of your Machine...?? 76 year old retired Arch'/ Eng' now tinkering around with my long neglected passion of Knife Making & building Gadgets!! Keep up the good work young man..!!
you would think so, but with proper alignment, they actually last a really long time under heavy use. We have customers that use them all day every day for at least a year before needing to be replaced. Just like tires on asphalt. They just roll along with the grit. Now if the machine isn't straight and the belt is scrubbing along the wheel, they would get eaten up quick.
I am so glad I invested in an Ameribrade grinder. Innovation after innovation and instructional videos too? Y’all have changed the game. I drove up to your shop a couple weeks back from San Diego and bought a bunch of attachments for my grinder. This is one of the attachments I bought. I’m so green I had no idea at all what this thing was all about but I knew enough to know if you guys offer it, I need it. Customer service like no other. Y’all gave me the grand tour and even helped me load my truck. I cannot say enough good things about this company, it’s people or it’s products. STOKED to be part of the Ameribrade family. Every single penny I have spent with them was well spent. Extreme value for my money. If you’re thinking about buying here, pull the trigger. You’ll never regret it. Thanks again y’all. I’m looking forward to coming up and buying more stuff soon! Ray
Hey Keven..nice video. Don’t worry about the math…you’ll get to relearn it when your kids get there in school…trust me. Now we need a video on the surface grinder (sin function especially) like we talked about and maybe a detailed instructional video on all Ameribrade attachments. Thanks again for the customer service!
I love my new Ameribrade. Thank you for these videos. I am learning so much about it and am able to do a lot more because of them. This grinder has really made my blacksmithing/bladesmithing journey a lot easier and more fun.
I saw Walter Sorel useing a refurbished Amerbrand belt sander with a 14' hollow grind wheel... Is this wheel available to your customers??? Also, when you get another refurbished unit I'd be interested... Thanks
Awesome design once again! I would have to reverse everything for my grinder hecause my wheels are on the left hand side. How much for the setup, im still in need of a 10" too, loving the 6" and 2" wheels you gave me. Btw, I can see you are alot more healthy than last year, looking good Brother.

Ps ! Based here in the Darkest of Africa..!!!
15 minute preparation, i already free hand grind more than 70% of that knife
That's what I was thinking.
You’re right, this is painful.
Deflector rubber coated wheel with the 36 grit grinding on it continuously is going to last about 1 month.

Prolly the new belt threw it off by that much.

Great video! I really like the longer format. I now really want this attachment. You should do a vid on the surface grinder next.
Great video. I appreciate the innovation. Upgrading my grinder to Ameribrade is on my list for 2024.
That’s cool thanks for the video
Great video. Wish I had a shop to accommodate this great piece of machinery.
Erratum : Pulleys = Wheels..!!
Adding this to my list when I order my grinder.
Superb video.
I really like these grinders unfortunately I already built one so not sure I can use these add ons on mine. Great video thanks
