Edge Retention/Rolling Test Stand

[EOU]

We're going to give a softer material a shot here Mark. We imagine that we're going to give lots of things a shot here before this is finished. Could be something as simple as a thin HDPE disc placed between piston rod and edge.  We're just very encouraged that we were able to get so close so quickly. That's always nice and also, a little lucky. 

Thanks for the SEM picture and your continued interest KG. We agree with your speculation concerning the higher scoring portion of the edge. Probably just squashed the apex a bit at one location. Might have been just one or two teeth in a toothy edge.

Once we iron out the kinks and establish a baseline on stainless knives we're going to have see how it performs on higher Rockwell C edges. Those are edges that are in short supply here but we know where they aren't, in your (KG and Mark R's) shops. We hope that you'll consider assisting us by testing a few edges in your shop when the time comes. We know that you own edge testers and we'd be happy to provide a test stand.
