Hi Folks
Just thought I would do a post on my trial and errors of making a drag knife
I know this subject has been covered many times before on a lot of media
platforms. but this one is quite unique especially if you are contemplating making your own..
I was interested in buying one from Donek tools but after looking at there dimensions
I would have struggled to fit to my 6040, cnc due to limited Z clearance and shaft size.
My only option was to make my own, knowing the internet is full of variations of the donek drag knife. But alas all the plans I came across were very similar in size.
So to work I went, I dug out a old unused Stanley blade from my tool box and set about getting the correct measurements using my vernier, I used Vectric aspire
to create the profiles and went ahead and made one..
Here's the result, But this is also where the hard fought journey began, more to follow..
