Tips for you drill press bits :
Chinese tungsten carbide bits are amazing

[modifiedtraditionalgardeni]

As a knife maker myself your top five is mine as well great video and knives keep up the good work

[BlueBird]

The bandsaw is amazing but the hacksaw is not THAT BAD with a proper fixed vise ahah, cheers

I only use few basic items, but i plan to buy betl grinder and upgrade my drill press.. Its super cheap and its nightmare to drill holes straight in hard materials plus more ppl will use polishing wheal in drill press then have attachment for belt grinder so i would put those on first/second spots.. and for me i would add lathe to make my own corbys and ring making.. those 3 machines are on top of my list for future.. oven or portable saw would be great, but for a hobby im ok with angle grinder and sending few knives to pro once in few months.. but now im buying tools for leather working first...

You definetly have great setup and your grinder is beast

Nice choice of tools!! I really like your band saw!! The blade gets it on !! I know, the torque helps!!🙂ha ha Well I had to go cheaper 😔 but except for the noise, my Harbor Freight has done a decent😢 job for me!! Transferred the bolt pattern and mounted a table on him!! I built a backing plate and used the studs in my garage to mount him!! It’s ok, but I’ll get set-up like you one day Lord Willin! I use the Luffkin blades to but I haven’t put my eye on the one you’re using, , did you have to order it special? Thanks for your help partner!!

What is the biggest difference with the oil you use, and where do you buy your metal.

[silvergoldking]

Hi Benny, Can you help me out again lol.
Where can I get that buffing attachment for the 2X72 ?
Thanks Bryan.
Stay sharp 😎

I'm enjoying your videos, as they are VERY informative. I'm currently shopping for a Milwaukee or Dewalt portable band saw. Can you tell me what model Dewalt you use and why you chose it over others?

[nicjoseph]

Question for the bandsaw. If you don’t have access to that stand and table you’ve got for yours, is there any other way of making a stand and table?

[dimmacommunication]

Question for the belt grinder : could somebody use the speed regulator on a cheap one ? I'm not a pro, so 3k for one like yours would be not a wise choice, since I wouldn't need it.

[BootStateKnives]

Where did you get your magnetic led light?

[nivesknight]

Will someone please explain to me why a grinder with grinding stones isn't a option???

[StarkKnives]

What are the most important tools in your shop? Let me know below! I'm always interested in hearing what other people are using!

[sebbyhumphreys]

Instead of using a ban saw can u use a sawzaw

[Noah-hzll]

Same here, though I don't own an oven right now (my friends fabrication shop I spent a lot of time in until I moved last year had a 220v even heat with ramp). I learned on a single speed grinder but buying my variable speed Ameribrade was an amazing investment in my work quality and enjoyment. Still need a band saw table.

Heat treat oven is horrible advice. You can send out 500 knives for pro HT and still not cover the cost
