Making Straight Razors WIP - stock to Str8

Out of interest, can you tell me what is the thickness of your spine?
G’day Jamie,
Thanks For the dimensions mate, the O1 was 1/4” (6.35mm) stock & would be close to the 5 to 5.5mm now, not at home for a couple of weeks to confirm the exact dimension but will, I kept it to the 4:1 ratio hence the 13/16” finish

Thanks for the reply.:)
 
ouch i know your pain mate. i hate when that horrible ting fairy visits when you trying to to harden a blade.
Do you hollow grind each side seperate or are you running a double sided grinding set up ?
 
i'm looking at making a double sided set-up for grinding razors and using a coolant so i can grind em after HT to avoid that dang ting fairy.
