Does anyone know if there is a source for bread knife blades made of stainless steel. I mean those that are intended for a bow shaped knife. The only supplier I know up here does not carry stainless steel blades.

Good luck.

I don't have the conical sanding disk but after having similar problems to those discussed on my regular disk, I switched to the velco system with no further problems. Is this not available for the conical disk? If it is it is worth a try. Now having said that, I tend to be lazy and leave whatever g...

You are not the only one. I always click on "New Posts" but sometimes end up with old ones. Not being technically inclined, I at first wondered if I did something wrong. Now I just shrug and move on.

Have fun

That's a very nice door in your original post. It is the quality of work that I aspire to but rarely have the confidence to attempt.

Also nice pictures of your set-up.
