@@williamemerson1799 I do not. I tried a speed controller early on because I wanted the speed to be slower. But with some practice and an extremely light hand I never blued a tip. I've seen it happen many times though. I'm not using the same belts in this video as I am currently. But the ones I use now are from red label abrasives. I made a video on the belts 😊 I really like them!

@@Samsmobilesharpening Thanks. 👍🍻

@@ia6980 I use the brush to remove the burr without over stropping the edge. Little trick I picked up from shear sharpening. 😊 It's probably my number 1 tool! Also yes I do change grits. I start with 120, then go to 600 or 800 depending on the client, then after that stropping with a 8k diamond spray. 😊

@Samsmobilesharpening i see, thanks for the info, how do you strop with spray? Any videos showing full process?

@ia6980 I have a pretty basic video of how I make my diamond spray. On my channel. 😊 And I typically give the leather belt/wheel a few sprays every 10 or so knives. I like it a lot better than stropping compounds because it's a lot easier to clean up!

@Samsmobilesharpening cool,ill check it out. Did you tested and compared both? Compound vs spray?

@ia6980 I haven't done a video on the topic. But I have used. Tormek paste, green rouge, white rouge, worksharp red rouge, and a few different grits of the diamond spray. The biggest difference is clean up time. But it's a lot of personal preference. 😊

@@ia6980 I've been trying to find the ones for the T4 because that would be a huge difference! I got the one I have for 200. But not many companies make cbn for the T4. 😭

@@asd7959 correct. It's a 600grit cbn wheel from wood turners wonders. But I've actually been swapping between the original grindstone and the cbn wheel recently. I really like both!

@@anthonychristy9239 I'm glad they could help you. 😊 I really need to make an updated video that video quality was not fantastic. But they are solid machines! That's super cool that you and your daughter are doing that together. 😊

@@jeffreyblaisdell1988 right!!!! It's so nice having natural sounds! And being able to use them. 😊

@@ShamilVelazquez I have a Sportsman 1000w generator. You can order them off of tractor supplies website. Very reasonably priced! But a battery bank works well too if you would prefer that.

@@dougsmith4525 thank you. 😊😊😊

@@torsen1987 good question. So it can rust. But I make sure to dry it off between uses. I still have not gotten a rust spot yet. 😊

@@Samsmobilesharpening tormek makes a solution for adding to the water to prevent rust.

@@TheKnifeGuyReno thanks Vinny! I love it so far!

@@bwillan thank you so much. It's pretty basic. But at the same time it will open up a lot. 😊

@@Samsmobilesharpening It certainly doesn't have to be an elaborate shop to make edges sharp.

@@bwillan that's the truth!!!! The fact I have been doing it all from the back of my truck for all this time. Don't need a lot. But it's nice to have the extra space and options. 😊

Great news. Looking forward to workshop sharpening videos.

@@robertmahaney2854 if time is not a issue I love the tormek. It's my favorite system! If I need to do major correction or just want to be faster the bucktool 1x30 low speed is really efficient. But if I had to choose one or the other the tormek would be my choice. Even though it is slower.

@@steveorel3097 thank you so much. 😊 As for the single bevel knife. I was going for matching the existing edge bevel that was on the knife. I probably could have dropped down a few degrees. But it was matching the existing edge bevel that was there. I try not to change things until I go sharpen for the client again. Then asking them is there something they wish it did better.

@@dougsmith4525 I think it's just a matter of personal preference. Some people love rigid strops and others don't. But if space is not a thing to factor in. I would choose a rigid strop. I've recently upgraded to a rock hard felt wheel that is wonderful for deburring and giving a really consistent edge!

@@jimcallahan3408 thank you so much Jim. 😊 good to hear from ya!

@@franknelson1001 that is a 600 grit CBN wheel.

@@mikedorn4181 of course you can. 😊 If you send me an email I would be more than happy to send you the steps for my mail in process. [email protected]

Thanks man😊😊😊

@@sharpenrightservicesllc I for sure will. 😊 had some tech issues but I should have some solutions. I’m excited to do my next live! Thank you For the motivation 😊😊😊

@@Samsmobilesharpening Love it! I need a better camera for sure!

@ I don’t recommend go pro! I tried that as my live camera. And holy cow was that a struggle! Plus the audio is laggy like 10-20 seconds. So you constantly hear yourself talking.

@@Samsmobilesharpening I have the Chinese rip off of the GoPro and yeah, it doesn't work so I'm not sure what we should be using.

@ I think I’m going to stick to the phone for a bit. What would be really nice is if you could turn around and use the better cameras not the selfie camera. But also being able to see the chat. Maybe a phone or something to watch the live as you are broadcasting on the other phone. Idk. One more fun thing to figure out 😊😊😊

@@sharpenrightservicesllc thank you so much 😊😊😊

@@cpen9667 unfortunately I do not quite understand your question. But I have powered it from a battery pack. And the max draw I saw was 200w. But in theory the max it can draw is 120v 2.1amps. And to get the watts needed you multiply the volts times the watts. So the max it would draw is 252watts. In theory. I also have run it on my 1000w peak gas generator. No problems at all. That has a running 800 watts. Hopefully that answers your question.

@@Samsmobilesharpening so i have a 1x30 with a sewing machine motor and max draw in use is 33w. I have a WEN (tormek knock off) and max draw in use is 87w. i also have a delta variable speed bench grinder and max draw is 748w. when these items are plugged into a kill a watt device, you can see their actual wattage draw at any given time. if you ran it off the 200w battery pack, i suspect it's peak draw is below 200w.

@ didn’t even know there was such a device for power draw. But hey you learn something new everyday. The battery pack I had was a 350wh but printed on the machine is the power requirements. But if you are able to run something that is pulling 700 watts you should be more than fine! I’m surprised the sewing machine as well as the wen pulls that little power. But also nice to know.

Thanks 😊😊😊

Thanks 😊 it’s been a while done some shorts but want to get some long videos in as well. As far as the wheels. I really like the felt one! Significantly cheaper than the leather. And works amazing on serrated knives! Especially the ones with micro serrations. That combined with the diamond spray is amazing!! The only thing I don’t care for is it seems degrade faster. What I’m probably going to do is have the felt wheel for serrations and certain situations. But use the leather for most honing since it seems to hold up better. 😊

Thanks for the reply. Something to think about.

@ of course. 😊On Amazon the felt wheel is like $20 just make sure to get the right size arbor hole. If I’m correct it’s 1/2 inch.

Thankfully this seems to be decent enough steel to take a 15° per side edge. I have one that I bought a while ago that I sharpened at 10° per side just to see what it would do. But yes I agree too acute might cause the edge not to be able to hold itself up. Thusly failing prematurely.

@@ofd29p7 the angle guide I got is off Amazon. There are two different types. The one I have is belt moving away from the blade or edge trailing. The other variation is toward the blade called edge leading. But Amazon has them for a decent price. 😊

@@histruthedminllc9092 thank you so much. 😊 it really was well worth the investment!

I charge $9 per knife. And a few dollars extra for using the t4 since it’s slower. But most of the time I use the bucktool 1x30 for sharpening. The t4 comes out when I have the urge to use it or the customer requests it.

​@Samsmobilesharpening what do you think of kalamazoo?

@@ia6980 I think it's a solid built machine. Honed by Jones is one of my close friends. And he uses them. 😊

@Samsmobilesharpening oh, i watched honed by jones videos as well, was wondering what ppl think of kalamazoo. How do you power your sharpeners? Do you use lithium or regular batteries?

@ia6980 you have good taste. Honed by Jones is an awesome guy! I know there are a few others that like the Kalamazoo. They seem very stoutly built! I use one of two things. I have a portable battery that is good for 350wh. And it will power any of the tools I currently have. The other is a sportsman 800w gas generator.

@@Riaan1906 That is the cbn wheel. And it's 600 grit. 😊

@MrOmarhamidoo can do. 😊 I’ll try to remember when I get one.

@@robertmunguia250 right!!!! It's so nice!!!! The sharpie method is great. But for those times you want to adjust the angle this is so nice! And super easy to use! Tormek really did a great job with it!

@@paulr5027 the angle guide is adjustable to different blade sizes. So you can do a cleaver or even a paring knife on it. 😊 But I agree from time standpoint the 1x30 or 1x42 is great! That's primarily what I use in my business. There is just something about the tormek that feels great.

I've got a knockoff King 10" wet that I bought a 1200 cbn wheel for does work good, no mess now. just too slow for me still, would need 2-3 wheels to do properly

@ I would honestly look into the 600 grit cbn wheel. It cuts quite aggressively. But still can moving to the honing and get a wonderful edge! If the blades need a lot of work or heavily damaged I have my bucktool to get that sorted. 😊 it’s a great combo. Might actually help you with your situation. But I think the 600 cbn wheel is the sweet spot.

Why so? I never had this type of knife before? Whats so special about it?

@ - I’ve always loved using cleavers but they’re sometimes kinda big and bulky sometimes. The Nakiri is kinda like a lightweight, shorter, thinner cleaver. I just like the way they feel in my hand.

@@HonedByJones oh ok, i should try getting 1, thnx

@@clayaderholdthank you for the smile. 🙂 I've been sharpening for many years. It just takes practice. 🙂 The true test is cutting what you are planning on cutting.
