Edge Retention/Rolling Test Stand

[Mark Reich]

Hello Blade Banter, Welcome to the Forum!

There are many things to learn from the Structural Edge Tester, and the difference between wear and rolling is certainly a prime example.

Thank You Mike, and you are welcome for sure. I have always felt very fortunate to have met you "in the beginning" as well. Thanks to the Godfather.  

Shoot. I thought the difference between the plastic and brass nuts was more significant than that.

What I remember most vividly is the shock of the media severing between the time I put the little plastic cup on the ram, and just as I was about to some lead shot. It definitely startled me!

After determining the Moritaka petty was within single digits with brass nuts, I switched to plastic, and went to work on the M390 with the EP.

For some reason I thought the brass nuts weighed more than that. I had "Plastic 14" written on the M390 with red Sharpie for some time, but here's one thing I don't remember- Are there more plastic parts to swap from the razor machine? I gave the razor machine away.

Time flies, as does my memory...
