I've been going through various bits and find that the only thing that works is my circular grinding bits. However, it's very difficult to keep it level as I lower it.
Sanding discs seem to do nothing.

Shelf too high; best way to lower an epoxy shelf

I would have suggested a course grit sanding discs but you said it didn't work... my other thought would be to keep trucking with the grinding bit a little deeper and then level it out to the finish height with a puddle of expoy
Yeah. Maybe take it down a bit farther and then level with a little epoxy (Less this time!!!
).
).
+1. I haven't encountered this issue, but a Forstner bit would be at the top of my list. Good luck, Bryan.
I thought of that right away too, but my concern is that it would tend to grab the resin and want to throw or shatter the handle. The idea makes me nervous.
What I did was use a 1/8 " drill bit on a dremel, and honeycomb the whole resin shelf and then break it out in chunks. That's with a shelf that is about 3/8" thick.
For future reference, I used a Forstner bit in a drill press to lower a resin shelf on a brush I'm working on It didn't grab or anything, just go slow. I used 2030 RPM setting on my press.

Well I went ahead and did my best with my grinding bit. Sanded the edges, polished the handle and set the knot.
Whatcha think?

Knot looks messy but don't wanna meds with it while drying.
TGN finest 24 / 49. Pretty sure I got it even, considering they're not perfect to begin with.

Wow, looks great, I have a very similar handle waiting for a knot.
Sounds good, how did you secure the handle?

Was gonna try silicone but went right for epoxy. Very happy with how it looks... The knot looks natural unlike my first restores that I had to fix.
Great result-- nice work, Bryan!
