25.00 Blade Sharpener | Updated & Detailed View

[@anthonyburns9072]

Thank you for sharing. I built one based on your design last year, and it did a wonderful job. This spring I invested in a couple of thrust bearing, about $7 total, to use on where the arm attaches the wood block. Turns easier and reduces the wobbling, in reality it won't make much difference but it moves more smoothly. Thanks again for a great idea.

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

I bought some bearings too, but I never installed them.......been using it like it is lol

[@Fatboy.25]

Great update!!! I make good money sharpening blades. Thanks for all your knowledge

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

There is definitely a market for sharpening blades 💪. Thanks for the feedback

[@robk7380]

Awesome. I love it. Thank you. Rob K. Ontario Canada.

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

You're welcome!

[@georgebenevides]

I have everything except the M8 Bolt. The Bolt available by Brafasco in Ontario is half threaded. Where did you get it.

[@jimcummins3498]

Thank you very much, gonna start working on mine tomorrow. Been trying to sharpen my blades at 32° angle for along time and wasn't smart enough to make this. Once again thanks a million

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

Awesome. Hope your build goes well!

[@billymarkwell1105]

I love a good DIY project.........I don't know if I'll make one......I sharpen my blade once a year.....my yard is small so it doesn't get a lot of wear......

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

Yeah you probably won't need one then. Thanks 😁

[@wegder]

Heck if i just had that block that holds the blade bevel horizontal that would be a huge improvement for me. A flapper disk is far superior to any stone for sharpening in my opinion.

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

I like the flap disc and have used them for years. People still criticize me for using them…..to each their own 😁.

[@TimStegall-m3e]

The 5005 sharpener is available on Amazon right now for $42.

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

Oh wow, that is a good price!

[@kennethpierce2518]

Straight forward information. Very smart on your part to build something that works well for you. You have inspired me to make something that I can use. Even though I won’t need it( I won’t wear out blades)if we don’t get some rain in Texas though.

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

I hope y'all get some rain. We went through a pretty dry season here last month. Much better now though.

Can you sharpen a left handed blade with this setup?

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

I doubt it would the way it’s set up.

[@kevinhitt719]

Like every one else that watched this I'm making a list and thanking you profusely and as far as a face shield I use an old welding shield . I lost eye sight in one eye Lucky for me I found some great Drs. Like you said protect you're eyes.

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

Awesome Kevin. I hope your project works out well. You definitely have to protect that good eye. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Blessings!

[@kevinelrod323]

One of the things that would prevent the grinder of wobbling during use, would be to have the upper arm & grinder to be on the same angle & attached. I suspect that you would have to make your lower arm be longer than the upper. From a fellow Georgian (Dalton, Ga) to another, it is great that you are sharing something of yours that can be helpful to others.

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

Thanks Kevin. There are definitely some improvements that have been made by others on this build. It has been neat to hear what others are doing. 💪

[@robcole8218]

Mine is working great. I went they the archives of your videos and found it. I did a lot of freeze framing to write things down. Thanks. God bless

[@artmrosla67]

All I can say buddy is thanks. Have been thinking of getting a sharpener for quite a few years and you just saved me a hell of a lot of money buddy!!! I’m scratching with pen and paper for my next shopping cart purchase. I admire your video and you do a great job in your presentation!!! Best wishes and have a safe holiday season! Art

[@carlfreeman795]

Thanks already made me one ...works great! what i did to address the handle issue was just simply drill a hole in the tubing and put a m 8 nut on the inside of it to hold the handle .

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

Carl, you are a genius. Great idea!

[@stevebrown6793]

How did you set the center on the blade to grinder ?

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

[@djbadandy1]

good video. 2 things. first is buy a couple cans of scrubbing bubbles and clean your garage door, which is also your backdrop, and it looks like hell. "this is my shop" you say, but evidently its dirty, and not well lit. not great for credibility, and neither is grinding with flip flops on. second is that a cheap piece of plywood on top of [whatever that is] would also make you look like you know what you are doing a lot more. all that being said, this is a much better way than free-handing blades on bench grinder...i just wish you did a few production refinements.

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

My shop is definitely a mess buddy, but our yards look great and that's what the customer pays for. KZbin is just a hobby and hopefully a help to a few folks. I do understand the value of your critique. 💪

[@lessage760]

thank you sir watched the first vidio earlier today and was going back in to see if i could get some measurements from and low and behold you read my mind thank yo and congratulations on all the views

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

Thanks!

[@jackpiercy7133]

You left out the dimensions of the placement of the blade on top of the jig so you would have the basic alignment of the grinder to the blade. Thanks

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

I shimmed my grinder where the pad would be centered on the blade. I do understand what you mean though.

[@jerebigler7520]

Enjoyed both videos on this topic. Gonna put one togather for myself and my sons to keep things sharp. The wobbly arm doesn't really change the angle of attack does it? Might mean the point of contact isn't right in the middle, like you showed, but not sure it would have an impact on the final grind. Any thoughts?

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

I would think the change of degree would be minimal. Of course if I had used some bearing, I could have stiffened the arm up a lot. I hope your build goes well.

[@cWatts-zv3oo]

Gotcha beat! Minus the clamp, walked out of home depot for 21 and some change. 😅 Building this morning. Ordered the clamps this morning. Quite ingenious! Thanks again.

[@Ben-Taylor700]

Hi mate! Random question but What make is your angle grinder? New to this channel, good video!

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

This one is the cheapest one Harbor Freight had. I believe it is a Warrior.

[@4mericanp4triot93]

I love making things with my own hands. Will definitely build one of these! Thank you for the awesome videos! I can vouch that safety glasses are not enough. I had two pieces of metal fly around my "safety" glasses and lodge themselves in my left eye and I had used a grinder during work for years this way before this incident. Didn't feel good going in or the eye doc removing them. Not to mention irritation and time recovering. Little pieces flying around are hot and do not always fly in a straight line. I was lucky and regained full sight. Dont risk it.

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

Glad to hear you recovered.... definitely can be dangerous! I hope your build goes well!

[@robertblalock5009]

this sharpener is better for visual than the box sharpener from another video. I am making your model now and much simpler. the only change I am making is preference for me, I have fixed a small 2 in bubble from a broken level to get an idea of level grind. Hopefully..Thank you for your video and to as well blessings to you and your business.

[@cleangreenlawnservicellc2630]

Awesome. Let me know how the level works. Thanks

On that clamp, is it the 60lb holding power version or the 200lb one? This is a great looking upgrade to your original design. I'm working on getting this up and running using some old computer rack rails instead of the square steel tubing. It looks like it will work just fine.
