The faster something removes metal, the easier it is to rapidly screw up a blade. If the tools you are using produce perfect surfaces, they’ll be slow but you’ll enjoy the results.
Grinding and grinding and more grinding… As my buddy Mike says “blacksmiths turn the universe to dust, one piece at a time.” That’s neglecting hand sanding.
