Holy heck... that thing is amazing. Seems useful for grinding in a clip
For sure. I'll have to give that a shot!
An answer to my fervent prayer about how to get consistent results! I’m buying one today!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great addition to your grinder. Thanks for sharing.
These have been around in home shops for decades. My uncle had the same type set up in the late 60's and sharpened blades for lawn mowers, scythes etc.
You are definitely a professional craftsman
This thing works great. Easy perfect bevels.
Brian you’re work for the knife maker community is incredible. Your humility and willingness to bring a community into your work and accept input is inspiring. After looking at other grinders to upgrade my tools from basic hand tools and looking at other forges. This will be my direction. Keep up the awesome work. Looking forward to purchasing my Apallo forge and Revolution Grinder.
Thank you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Looks Great! My list of HM items grows longer. Look forward to my next visit and parts run. I appreciate the time you graciously extended to me! Hope we can do it again soon!!
Thank you Ron!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Man, my next big-ish purchase was going to be a mill, but Idk now lol. Your Revolution grinders and all of the attachments and upgrades your consistently offering are looking pretty sweet! It would be a big upgrade from my old first gen 2x72 Pheer grinder.
Thank you! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Such a great design!!!! Good job Brent and Brian!!!!!
Thanks Brigham! 🙏
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Suggestion. Since you are already laser etching, how about if you put graduation marks with enumerations along the belt, say ⅛" increments. The enumerations don't have to be listed in eighths. Just whole numbers. So that if you are grinding on a 3, when you flip the blade over, stay on the 3. Until you want to move up an increment. This would allow even less skill to get a great blade. Or, just enumerate the ¼" marks but place 16 th graduation marks. For even finer control. Cheers from a Rev 3 Builder. Though, I doubt the actual Unit of measure doesn't really matter. This would be merely a visual aid for how much material you are cutting off.
Great idea
I was thinking different colored paint marker lines that way it would be easy to see instantly
So simple yet so great
Thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Oh look......a real grinder. This just went to the top of my list.......and subscribed. = )
Thank you! 🙏🏼
عالی.ایده بسیار جالب و کاربردی هست👌
THANK YOU !!!!
Just ordered mine you are the man Brian I can’t wait to try it out
Thanks Jerod!! I really appreciate it bud!!
fantastic piece of equipment
Thank you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
A tip: put a couple of coats of Minwax paste wax on the table and it will slide easily and keep the rust off 😊 you can get a can at Lowes I’ve been using this on all my metal work tables for years. Hope this helps
Thanks Don! I'll give this a try.
My wife just ordered mine for my birthday! I’m excited to put it to work
Thank you so much!!
Nice work
Bald man is very informative guy, really practical
Great, easy design. My next project for my grinder.
Thanks Stephen! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Love it!! I love my table. It’s so helpful!
Super cool to see how you’re using it for S-Grinds over on IG Ben!👊
Thanks Ben!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Не особо понимаю по английски, но и без этого, всё отлично понятно. Хорошее видео. Спасибо!
I will be getting my Revolution kit from you in a week or so, looking forward to it. I will have to get one of these once my grinder is up and running. Thanks
Fantastic Logical Guy! 🤩 Let me know if you have any questions, you can hit me up on the website chat - www.HouseMade.us 👊🏻⚡️
Man that's smart af... Exactly what I'm looking for since I got my new grinder. Keeping freehanded bevels accurate always gives me troubles and all bevel jigs I tried over the years, also didn't satisfy me at all... Unfortunately I dont't have a kmg-style-o, so I need to adopt it to my inhoused grinder... But now, that I have an idea what it's supposed to look like, I'll start making it... Big thanks Brian for sharing this!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. And I 100% agree.
Hello, thanks for the vid. I did not see the plans for recommended measurements.
I have liked this idea since seeing the first post about it. I’m halfway done building mine but was just waiting for this video to finish. It will be a great addition to my Revolution 4. Thanks guys.
All right I have wanted this since the first time I saw it. FYI this page would not load on my phone I had to use a computer to buy it. So if anyone is having trouble use a computer if you can.
Yeah we have had issues with Samsung phones for some reason. Thanks for working though it.
Very nice add on. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my my friends. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Thank you Jared! Always love your comments man! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@HouseMadeUS your very welcome. I try my hardest.
@@HouseMadeUS your very welcome. I try my hardest.
I hope you know how much it means to me. So very much appreciated. 🙏🏼
Impressive idea
Thank you. 🙏🏼
I really like this. I think this will work with my grinder. I have a jig that I use right now but it’s not very good. I’m headed to the shop in a few hours and will evaluate my grinder set up to see if this will work. If so, I’ll definitely be ordering one soon. Great video!
Thank you Kim!! Lets connect in a couple weeks and get you going.
Super add on for us newer knife makers, bevels are the biggest problems that I have ran into and will give this a try. The scratches on finishing I hope is not a major problem.
Watch until the end so you can see how Brent figured out how to alleviate the scratches problem on finished work. Thanks again Rick! 🙏🏼
@@HouseMadeUS Saw the electrical tape usage, but being a engineer for 32 yrs I am looking for something simpler, maybe Teflon / Powder coat / ???? on the plate?? just thinking

Ah man.... that's brilliant!
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Cool, it's kind of like a jig meets a fixture? A jigxture?
Hahaha! Love it!
Terima kasih Bryan 👍😎
Next video or project make a surface grinder keep up the great work just found your channel love the videos! Great work and great product!
Just ordered my Gen 5. Ordered the true tilt as well. I believe that will help tremendously in getting good uniform bevels. I've been doing bevels by hand for years and I've had mixed results. This should take care of any inconsistencies.
Thank you Sam!
@@HouseMadeUS Thank YOU for designing and making available an awesome DIY belt sander!!! I started my build and am taking my time with it. I want to make 100% everything is square and plumb and have watched your assembly videos several times. I love that you walk us through every step and show us how you assemble it. Cheers!
This is great! My Frankengrinder is going to get a new shoe!
Sweet!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
That's cool. Where can you get these.
Thank you !!!
Thank you!! 💯
@@HouseMadeUS Very interesting channel, and thank you for the flag of Ukraine.
You did a good job of fluking your 45 degree cut with the toolpost holder. :) Suggestion.. You could also lower the toolpost holder to 45 then scribe the tooling arm then cut to that line. Not a big difference really but if you want to get that lined up like Brian did and it would guarantee giving you the hole clearance.
Good idea. Thank you. 💪🏻👊🏻
I love that apron you wear, do you have a link to it?
Супер ! Super )
How long of a blade can be done on this before you run out of table for the handle to rest against?
Sou brasileiro desejo adquirir uma desta e como faço??
Thx
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Whole time Mr Bald man was working I was thinking, “man that’s a nice apron”. Brian never fails to give credit where credit is due.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Wow another add on for the Gen 4, this is awesome. I was thinking about longer blades, order of operations, kitchen knives, etc. Will the tru tilt rest be wide enough for say an 8" guyto... Would the hidden tang handle be something you profile after bevels now?
That's a good point, not much to hold on to with a hidden tang. Probably think a bit ahead on that and leave it longer or wider then profile it later. Ill give it a shot and report back. Thanks as always for supporting my work!!
Ya know I love your stuff & this is a great idea(think I made something like it yrs ago). My big issue with any jig, they really cripple learning how to properly grind bevels. That said, if you learn great technique(freehand) & you need a production tool, this is amazing. Unfortunately, most people use them as a crutch & not a tool!!! LEARN FREEHAND 1st, NO JIGS!!! I've seen guys that made knives before me, still doing the same lame grind... Anyways, rant over, always love seeing your new ideas, hope all is well, take it easy...
Yeah its a polarizing thing these bevel jigs and hand grinders. Man I wish I had more time to dedicate to the process of learning it. I know its more efficient in the long run. This is some where in the middle. Thanks as always Dave for supporting my work brother!!! I appreciate you!
sweet! if you milled the bottom of the slot at an angle you could get it closer to the belt at the bottom, which would probably help support small blades better
Oh yeah that is an excellent point!! I like it. Ill give that a shot.
@@HouseMadeUS all you have to do is use the grinder on the table dont need a mill thats how i did it on my tilt table just a thought
cuales son las dimensiones de la mesa TRUE TILT
Awesome product! Do you use this to put an edge on the blade too? If so, what angle do you generally set it at, and do you use the same technique?
You would not use it to put an edge on for 2 reasons 1) you will have the handle on at that point so there won’t be a constant flat to lay on the table and 2) the belt is running toward you and you would run the risk of cutting the belt. Thanks for the question!👍
I like to know. what diameter valve did you use for the JET Die Grinder. It will help me a great deal in my deburring and polishing stuf. And if you don't mind also the link where to buy that valve.... Many thanks🙏🙏
Hello Roberto here is the link ►Air Valve for Pneumatics ► amzn.to/3c92mv9
Hi,how much is the kit?
Thanks for useful idea and 🇺🇦
Cheers. 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸
Any chance you will have some of these for sale in Colorado Spriings this week?
Yes we will bring one for a demo unit. I'm sure we can work something out.
Hi Brian, this new table looks great. I have a Gen 3 machine with the D plate upgraded to gen 4. I primarily make kitchen knives and usually make a full flat grind on 1/8” thick by 2” wide stock, my grind angle is about 1.5 degrees. Will I be able to achieve that low of a grind angle on your new table? I’m guessing I might need to grind out a the back of the belt slot on the table but would like to know for sure that I can achieve that small of an angle.
It may be possible. The table is able to achieve the same angle as the platen but you’re correct to possibly achieve a 1.5° angle you would have to grind a ton away from the backside of the table. I have ground mine back about 1.5” and can achieve 3.5° with no interference.
Cool, thanks for the reply.
Brent is right on with that answer. Thanks BMKT!
Hey Brian, didn't see a link for that very cool air valve to make your grinder variable speed. I'd love to pick one of those up! Besides that.. Great work man!
Hi Justin! Thanks for the heads up. I'll add it to the description amzn.to/3P4DxPj
Does anyone know, will this along with the tooling arm work for KMG grinders?
Yeah it should as long as it has two receivers. Some KMGs I think only have one
I'm sure I missed it...what size is that plate?12 x 12?
So friend, I was in an accident and have a head injury I am confused(no kidding) I want to purchase a complete gen 4 Revolution with the best of what I need to put your amazing grinder together and grind a blade. Every week after that I will be buying all of the goodies for it. I’m just confused about what I’m need to order to get started and the price. Sorry if this sounds ignorant… it’s by no desire of mine that I received This TBI.
Has anyone tried to adapt this to s 2x42” belt grinder?
Will this set up work on a knife with distal taper?
Yes, just modify the swipe to accommodate the taper.
Going to buy a machine and True tilt table. I Will be the first in the Netherlands i think.
This is good only for knife without handle. You cannot use it for knives with handles.
Bevels should be ground before you attach the handle.
I'm interested in knowing what kind of belts these blue ones are.
Actirox by VSM. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I notice you like to use alot of tacks to put stuff together I think you would really like dual shield fluxcore (dual shield not regular fluxcore) it makes really strong attractive tacks that won't break on you nearly as easy, I think once you tried it you would never go back.
I run 75/25 argon CO2 mix at the moment. I'll have to try this duel shield stuff!! Can it run in my Hobart 220 MIG?
@@HouseMadeUS yes and you can use the same gas.....get .035 diameter
Keep meaning to ask about your leather apron…Is it Housemade or purchased?
I mention it in the video at the end. It's made by Ben Butler. ButlerBuilt.us 🤙🏻
The set up here what is it's cost.
Hi Gary, we sell the kits on our website: www.HouseMade.us
congrets, nice job, great idea, to bad I from Brazil and it won't be send to my place, but the concept idea I got, so if you guys don't mind I'll copy to my graind, thank's, I subscrib your channel. 😁
Sounds good! Enjoy!
How is the transom doing?
Good. 👍🏻
I know what I am asking Santa to bring!!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm not sure I get how this is preferable to a TR maker jig, and the downside is that you're throwing your platen and work rest out of square when you use it. What am I missing here?
Any jig requires you to clamp or bolt your work to it. This solves that problem and speeds up your grinds. Also the platen and work rest are made to be angled any way you like. Takes about 1 minute to reset.
Does this come with the tooling arm? I can't get the page to fully load.
It does not come with the tooling arm. We will have those available separately
Ok thanks. I ordered one but I thought it came with one. Does it have to be welded to the arm?
@@HouseMadeUS disregard last question didn't k iw it was on the video caught it late when it premiered.
The small tooling arm comes with it just not the full Gen 4 arm with work rest receiver. Are you running a Revolution Gen 4?
@@HouseMadeUS yea I'm all set I'll just modify the one I have Ike in the video. Thanks
Is there a big wheel attachment for this revolution
Yes I sell the arms but not the wheels. You can buy those pretty cheap on AliExpress. Here is a link to the arm: housemade.us/products/contact-wheel-tooling-arm-kit There is a video showing how it goes together at the bottom of the page.
@@HouseMadeUS,I just bought your grinder of a friend in Ireland 🇮🇪 😀
Was it Robert O'Grady? He is great
Will the the tilt table fit the gen2
@@HouseMadeUS, no but I know Robert very well 😂
And a Black Friday sale? Just my luck!

Hi, awesome stuff! Trevis Wuertz from Wuertz grinders introduced the "tablesaw analogy" around 2011 on his youtube channel. Check it out it seems to be the same idea....
Travis is an awesome engineer and grinder maker. Much respect to his work!! 🙏🏼
You are making great tools. Respect for the Blue-Yellow flag on your apron.
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Lacquer test on the edge proves even if the blade feels good the edge is extremely hot. The video is here on youtube. Sparks of any kind is most likely detrimental.
stop shouting at me Brent jfc it's the middle of the night
