1x30 Belt Sander Sharpener, AMK 75 Knife Sharpening System - 2016

amktactical.com/AMK-75-1x30-Kn...
This AMK 75 Knife Sharpening System was designed for knife sharpening using 1x30 belts. It was designed and built by an engineer / tool & die maker with 40+ years experience.

Just got mine in and I can't put into words how awesome it is! The variable speed is a huge asset! It was also very nice to receive the Christian tract that was in the packaging! Would highly recommend!!

I bought one of these off ebay for $500. The build quality is superb. It replaced a Loray electric. I paid for it in one weekend at a farmers market. My go to for speed is a TruHone. But at a FM this machine allows you to put on a show which to me increases sales. I give a 30 day warranty and it takes me less than a minute per blade. My competion is usually either stones or the paper wheel. I always charge at least $2 more per blade. They dont guarantee their work and I do. If you are wanting to do blade sharpening to make $$, this machine will do it.

Curtis Stewart How do you sharpen Partial Serrated Edges? Where do you buy belts? What belt you start with?

[@flyfishbrad]

Do you still have your Loray?

[@curtisstewart3179]

@@flyfishbrad Yes.

[@flyfishbrad]

@@curtisstewart3179 would you be interested in selling it?

I own one of these sharpeners, and I can tell you that it is simply awesome, for not only sharpening old knives but also setting the cutting edge on new knives then making them razor sharp and ready to sell. One of the best tools in my shop.

I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzbin.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

[@johnjude2685]

I been planning to build a DIY 1x30 and thought I'd be the first and your sharpening system looking great 👍 Congratulations for your design 👏 🙌 Thanks I'm not going into the business but you are staying on top. Thanks looking great Sir

[@capnmatt41]

Nice solution for your angle control and your variable speed. It's clear you guys have thought about this.

[@edarenlackey]

Do you have anymore videos of this machine? I am hoping to order 1 soon, but would like to see more of it

[@fabiandaroca]

WOW! I will be looking into one of these.

[@robertmunguia250]

Looks nice!

[@mroofek]

Your voice sound like tom hanks ;) Good video !

[@markcalvert962]

thanks for the idea

[@chrissorensen2618]

What motor is that? I'd like to source one for another project I'm working on.

[@johnsmith4630]

fact is that the angle guide system will result in a variable angle on curved edges. The angle at the tip will be slightly different than at the base. It would still provide the consistency to make a fine edge, of course. It is just that it might not translate well to a field sharpener.

[@SmiTTyy-sh8nc]

Looks great, now let's see some action. Let's see the paper slice

[@vitotrupiano128]

can it sharpen a small pen knife like a leatherman muit tool

[@hughhadfield9115]

Like the design and function of this machine. But I have noticed some sharpeners don't use a platen which creates a convex edge. I personally don't think that is the sharpest edge. I agree it makes a stronger edge but I won't be sharpening axes on the unit. A knife used for slicing tomatoes doesn't need a lot of strength. What is your opinion?

[@WeberSharpening]

That's the beuty of this machine. You can use the platen or go slack. Fast or slow. Edge leading or edge trailing.

[@mprice7676]

You should design an 'L' shaped angle rest to make the rod hang directly over the belt so that you can sharpen items that can't be mounted perpendicular....like woodworking chisels.

[@blistersteel]

Matt ,how do you reverse the belt direction? Is it a quick button push or something else?

[@blistersteel]

Matt Poe thank you sir.

[@GravityRoller]

Answer to that question appears elusive ?

[@WeberSharpening]

There is a small switch on the back of the machine. Not as quick as a button but at least you have the option.

[@Pono324]

can you sharpen a convex on this system

[@TheSad25pl]

Thanks for idea :) Working on making my own one :) ( Taking this from US in not economical... :( )

[@tinman1955]

I want one.

[@mpikas]

Is that grinding into or away from the knife edge?

[@j.w.gibson408]

So you could get a leather strop?

[@GravityRoller]

Was wondering same question. Does not appear they spend time helping future potentials ...

[@christophereddy4517]

Where can I find this for sale? I’ve looked online and so far. I have not been able to find it for sale.

[@jp9323]

I have one that I haven’t used in years. Works great but I just sort of lost interest. I’d be willing to sell it. Respond to this comment and we can figure it out.

[@bobonysko3167]

What's the longest knife blade you can sharpen?

[@amktools7214]

12 inches

[@notawix8542]

it good but it would be better if you ha e lower speed and a separate switch for the light

[@philochristos]

That looks like it just might work.

[@bobonysko3167]

Is the motor reversible?

[@amktools7214]

Yes, the motor is reversible.

[@koraycakr4910]

Do the jaws close evenly?

[@MattPoeAMKTools]

Yes

[@koraycakr4910]

How does the metal part of the jaws spring?

[@Uncle_Red]

Which way does the belt spin? Away from you? What's the longest blade you can do on this?

[@GravityRoller]

Wondered same question (belt direction) and if unit had/has fwd/reverse operation to allow easy move between edge leading and edge trailing configurations ?

[@WeberSharpening]

@@GravityRoller You can go either direction. And as slow as 200 rpm.

[@finnykroznizc2216]

*I got this last week and used it already for pipe making/shaping. It is good for shaping briar blocks for pipes after initial block cutting. It is not noisy, and works very well.>>>**0rz.tw/p5d0** There is not much assembly required and it is very easy. The only caveat to be aware of is that the plastic dust cover under the round sanding disk table has a notch which makes it impossible to screw into place - manufacture mis-measure of this specific plastic part. You will need to get a small file and file this notch off then it goes into place as smooth as butter.*

ราคาเท่าไหร่เครื่องของคุนฉันต้องการ

[@themonkeydrunken]

ITS $750 come on man

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

Now it's 850! But if you compare to the tormek, just the machine is 850 and all the jigs sell separate and cost a fortune. I bet by the time you go all the jigs you would be $2k at least. Place wheel maintenance looks annoying and the wheels are hundreds.

[@MarthaTorres-gu7vd]

​@@ChristopherSalisburySalz. Only thing I've seen close to this is 1400. This looks better then that one.

[@TheTechGuider]

hey im from ohio send me one lmao

[@menamorcos6608]

The Swedish Tormek is much better in the same price

[@WeberSharpening]

No way. With belts you can change out grits in seconds. Makes for a quick progression.
