Title: Broadhead Buckle
Post by: Longbow1415 on August 21, 2012, 02:00:00 PM
Hi,

Looking for advice and guidance for turning something like this....

into something like this....

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v651/Longbow1415/DSC00207.jpg)

Was thinking of using a Dremel. Any suggestions of what bit to use, and of how to get the surface behind the broadhead so smooth?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Many Thanks   :wavey:

If I'm trying to flatten something like that, or the mortise for a hidden tang knife, I wish for a mill, but then chuck a square ended Dremel carbide cutter in my drill press. Put the piece to be ground in a drill press vise and run the piece back and forth, deepening the cut a few 100's each pass. Slow, but does wonders for my shaky hands.

Neat idea, but don't try to wear it through an airport.  You'll be donating your hard work to a friendly TSA agent.
