    The fault many people have with brass screws is treating them like steel screws.. a good pilot hole is required, and a really good fitting screwdriver head especially with slotted head screws…A much more gentle approach is needed Brass screws are often used for their appearance as apposed to...

    Bench Grinder (or sharpening system)?

    I would definitely recommend the Sorby Pro Edge deluxe, or the Axminster Ultimate edge, which has speed control and motor reverse. They offer so much more than a grinding wheel, and take the guesswork out of precise angles and repeatability. They can also be used for so many other additional...
