MDF Sharpening Wheel

I thought this may be of interest. I borrowed from the paper wheel guys and made a sharpening wheel out of 3/4" MDF on my table saw. Coupled with a $10 garage sale bench grinder and some polishing compound, the results are impressive. Shaving sharp and fast for a whopping $11.10.

I put together a how-to on my blog. http://dcknives.blogspot.ca/p/diy-sharpening-wheel.html

This may be value going into hunting season where knives need to be touched up before heading out.

As always, comments appreciated.

Dan

That's awesome Dan, thanks for sharing!

You can also achieve a perfect circle with a router table with a pin like you did on the table saw.
