I sold some of my 24" camel-back Straight-edges to some students attending the Florida Scraping Seminar and they asked Adam Booth or his You Tube name is Abom79 , and Keith Rucker of Vintage Machinery to mill and grind one. Adam does model HK-24 that is a lightweight model we use on Lathe beds and a HKA-24 we use on flat ways with dovetails. He does them on his 36" G&E Metal shaper and shows how he sets it up and shows speeds and feeds.

Keith Rucker mills and grinds a HKA-24. Pretty interesting. Keith who now makes his own 9 to 12" models too. YouTube

Both Adam and Keith have a number of great shows on machining and scraping. Both will be attending my Florida class we are having in 2 weeks in Santa Rosa Beach. It should be fun plus it is freezing up here in Minnesota. Keith is rebuilding a Vintage New Haven Planer too, so check out his You Tube info.

I have my straight-edges in stock. PM for prices. Rich
