Bevel Grinding Jig Knife Making DIY

After many request about my simple knife making bevel jig I finally made a video about that! Took the opportunity to make myself a better version, after all the wooden one was pretty much a prototype.
Had a lot of fun designing some part in Fusion360 too! Always challenging :')
Thank you all for watching
3D model of the jig now on my online shop:

When looking on KZbin for a tutorial on how to build something, if black beard has one on the subject , that’s the one you need to watch , his builds are always the cleanest and most aesthetically pleasing.....Great build amigo!!!

[@luisstanker1491]

THATS d BEST and most practical i hv seen under all selfmade jigg on utube.

[@WillMatthews]

Damn you Black Beard! I did not need another project to add to my list right now with soooo many backing up! Very nice work mate, very good. I need to upgrade my ‘wooden block’ jig too! haha. I just love the addition of 3D printing into the workshop - to the point where I got my own printer a few weeks ago. Loving the possibilities and learning to use fusion 360 to expand the mind and ideas!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Haha!! Thank you brother :') I feel you! 3D printing is so usefull

[@francescopantaleone2920]

Fantastic example on how 3D printing can help knife makers !! Grandissimo

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Grazie! :D

[@thebrigadeloco2257]

This is awesome and the patience u have!!but i got one advice for you before you start welding you need to cleen the surfece from oil its a lot easier to weld and the weld is better!!great job love your casting videos!!cheers from slovenija

[@vyranlaise8356]

You did a great job making your jig. 3D printing is sure great. It makes things look like there were manufacture and bought from a store. I really like yours a lot. Thanks for sharing it.

[@lostbuffalo196]

Just watch the knife bevel jig video. Amazing...............BEST jig I've seen on KZbin. I don't have a 3D printer but I think I can fashion the "angle" part out of wood or hand grind a piece of plastic. Thank you for the great video.

[@ishwarkissoon6458]

As usual, neatness is inhuman as ever. And the results are spectacular. Awesome job

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you alot :)

[@intjonmiller]

Small tip most people don't know about: you can get cutting fluid as an aerosol spray, so you could coat the entire plate very quickly, ensuring that every center punched starting point was already wet. It's lighter weight than most other cutting fluids, so it's still easy to find your mark. Maybe this helps someone?

[@intjonmiller]

Also a drill press table with an adjustable fence an an indexing stop would have made that operation MUCH simpler (and more accurate). And the fence prevents workpiece from being thrown around, so you don't need the clamp. If someone reading this wants to make this jig you could use the time to make the table and fence (many videos on the subject out there) instead of the slower layout. Also, for those with CNC routers, you can get a carbide spot drill for like $5-10 in 1/4" size for your router, and use it for laying out the holes. You just set it to a very shallow drill depth and finish on the drill press.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man! Great suggestions :)

[@vindel1500]

VERY VERY SOLID WORK. WE NEED TO SEE IT IN ACTION NOW.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

And you will! :) On my next knifemaking video. Thank you :)

[@michaelandersen5453]

all you need is a clamping system on to the jig and it is as perfect as it can get. Great job. 3D printers are cool.

[@carlbelcherEDC]

Were the handles printed out of ABS? If they were PLA that's why they didn't vapor smooth.

[@ebel-janschepers3709]

What a lot of work. But the endresult is amazing!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man :)

[@pacowang283]

Young sir, you are brilliant!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you my dear :)

[@shelbyglazer3948]

possibly the coolest video ive seen in a while!

[@johnbiggs7620]

I really love this build. You nailed it man. Great job

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks John :)

[@eloyworkshop541]

IMPRESIONANTE!!! con ese gran proyecto te has ganado otro suscriptor más!! Enhorabuena compañero, saludos desde España

[@mullenj315]

Can you show a video of the jig in action? I'm curious how you use the grid of holes.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Sure Jeff! :) I'll use it for sure in my next knifemaking video

[@nosoupforyouever15]

By chance can we get the 3D model files or perhaps can you post stl files on thingiverse?

[@andrewgoldstein1606]

That was great. Maybe on the ends of the plate you can put a protractor to know what deg you are grinding. I guess you can measure each time but I think it would look great, When you are ready to sell them I will be the first one to buy one. Thanks for the video.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Ahah! alright Andrew! :) Thank you and thanks to you for watching it :) :)

[@hdckdsadd]

yeah... thank you for showing us using it!

[@ifell3]

Wow thats amazing mate, but i'm surprised you never added the degrees onto that big plastic blue bit for quick reference.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks! :) I though about that! But The print was already rolling... sooo.... next time :')

[@jameslindsay2714]

any thoughts of making some to sale?

[@johnjackson9767]

Great build!

[@rafaelpaquezberrio6953]

Impresionante, muy profesional ha quedado fantástico, buen trabajo 👍

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Muchas gracias :D

[@paintball130]

That is some good engineering right there

[@AidaIsAmazingSaleh]

You are a wizard. Amazing work!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

3D model of the jig now on my online shop: blackbeardproject.com/

[@symons666]

What do you sit your knives on to grind them, and how do you hold them to the jig please ?

[@griffithshandmade-knives]

Wonderfully creative!

[@godzillaboe8897]

That's a nice build man!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you sir! :)

[@giuseppecuccu]

What about fixing a mini oil pump on the drill table? Bonus points if you control it with a small pedal :)

[@bttrfly1982]

That jig is amazing! 👏 and chance you'd build one to sell?

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

awesome! the captive nuts are great!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you brother :)

[@staccio80]

Ciao complimenti per la realizzazione...ho visto che hai un cr10 anche tu e sei riuscito a stampare abs...hai qualche dritta?l’hai inscatolata?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Ciao! Si, se vuoi stampare abs devi chiuderla bene. Per fare qualche prova con abs e filamento in cera ho riciclato il cartone dell'imballaggio :)

[@gavinhill4121]

Excellent - I look forward to seeing the jig in use in an upcoming video.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man!

[@JunkWorkshop]

Vecchio! Grandissimo progetto! Davvero ben ideato. 😱😱😱

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Grazie vecchio :D

[@dhdjdjidjjwndnxjjznqba]

So impressive. As always. This is a fairly complex DIY too. Does DIY have a cutoff?

[@stromnessboy5171]

Absolutely brilliant work, as always, my friend. Another professional standard tool to add to your impressive workshop. Well done, and thanks for sharing this! P.S. 259 holes, drilled and then countersunk on both sides, by hand - you must have the patience of a saint!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you pal :) Haha! It has been like a therapy session :') -never again-

[@MakeEverything]

Great work!!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks man! :)

[@eduardotheodoromendes584]

Good vídeo , thanks . You Work is very Good

[@kalleklp7291]

Nice jig. However, not everyone has a 3 D printer at home. So you could easily make it all metal and use some bike handles or the like for it. :)

[@lez7875]

quantos furos!!! como foram as festas de fim de ano? tomara que este 2018 esteja sendo bom pra ti. tudo de bom.

[@lesamourai777]

Amazing video. I learned a lot. Thanks!

[@momcilodragisic429]

Pozdrav Black Beard, nije ti los Jig, ali imam jedan predlog, na Minuti 12:49 stezes plasticnu plocu sa Metalnim Jigom i koristis Matice...zar nije bilo estetski lepse da "ne koristis Matice i da si narezao navoj direktno u metalnu plocu?

[@sherryberry6264]

Brilliant work.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you :)

[@DustinEveritt]

Black Beard, can you possibly add a spec sheet of all the pieces, there dimensions, etc that can be downloaded. I would love to make one of these.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Sure, I'm working on a 3d model with measurements. Just need to try the jig some more to make sure everything work as I intended!

[@erict.miyahira6241]

Excuse me for my ignorance, but what is that?

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Great jig and lots of patients! In the spirit of getting carried away with the 3d printing, how come the outer semicircle pressure bar is not concave to match the center piece? Awesome trick burying the nut in the handle. 1st time I have seen that .

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Barry Manilowa - Yes, thank you for pointing I used the wrong spelling of patience. A honest mistake I made not paying attention. I am sure to be kicked off the internet now 😜

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks Tom :) I've tried the other semicircle the other way but it wasn't looking good! I was really asking myself if that's something I tought about all by myself or if I saw it somewhere else! Thank you

[@MakingStuff]

How many drill bits did it take to drill all those holes?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Haha! Only one! :') lucky me

[@ft7397]

Use titanium bit. It will drill many more holes

[@donbeeler49]

That's first class.

[@knolasfacasartesanais2798]

Parabéns excelente equipamento está disponível para venda?

[@marcobarbera4143]

Ciao BB con il tuo link ho acquistato la cr-10 in sconto. grazie mille!! ho notato l'utilizzo che fai della stampante nei tuoi progetti, molto interessante. volevo chiederti se hai intenzione di fare qualche video sulla stampa 3d. ho notato che gli oggetti che stampi sono di ottima qualità, frutto di un'ottimizzazione molto elevata della stampante e dei settaggi. mi piacerebbe apprendere qualcosa da te. ho notato subito anche gli upgrade della stampante come la ventola di raffreddamento. ciao grande.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Ciao Marco! :D Grandissimo! Grazie a te per aver usato il mio link

[@nanafalke]

Awesome project! Does it acutally make sense to completely 3D print the model you are selling on your website or should you still make the base and the knife holder out of steel? Thanks alot

[@nathan19112]

Ohhh yes he posted again!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Hell yeah! :D

[@DonDomel]

super robota ! pozdrawiam z Polski :)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks! :)

[@graystone3048]

Why do you need a jig that bevels if the D-plate of your grinder already bevels?

[@Fishy1764]

Ok I'm gonna make one .Nice one mate.😆 🖒

[@ericthered7354]

I was looking are you able to share the info on the 3d print

[@sexybluelady]

This is the most beautiful, effective and useful, knife jig that I have ever seen.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Haha! :') Thanks brother

[@sexybluelady]

Haha, it's "sister" I'm that one woman who watches all of your uploads. :) But thanks back at yea. :)

[@lucagaiotto7000]

Bel lavoro. Se mi permetti un suggerimento il pattino di nylon lo avrei fatto in due fasce strette posizionate lungo i lati lunghi

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Grazie Luca! Vedrò al primo coltello :) Se ho problemi di attrito potrebbe aiutare!

[@lucagaiotto7000]

Black Beard Projects più che altro pensavo allo sporco. Lasciare uno spazio vuoto in centro e creare di fatto due pattino rende il tutto meno ballerino. Se si ferma un banale pezzettino di ferro al centro dell'unico pattino che hai ora quello diventa una poltrona a dondolo.

[@davidakamine3420]

When making my bevel jig, I realized why make the jig, angle adjustable, when the work table on my grinder is easily adjustable. Much easier to leave the jig at 90 degrees and adjust the table for bevel angle.

[@АндрейСкиба-л8ж]

Good job! What of 3d print model used in this video? And where I can buy it? Thanks, in advance!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

I made these models myself :) I still have to use the jig so I won't sell those untill then! But thank you for asking me!

[@CarlosDelaoGunEngraver]

If you could share the stl file would be awsome

[@jackmack2210]

Thanks Man! great Video

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks Jack :)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks! :) No I don't, sorry :)

[@williamromine6277]

Very nice

[@CLWoodturning]

Class!

[@TheMakiwerem]

Hi when i am drilling on the drill press i put a bolt trou the tabel to stop the rtation off the materials

[@BlackBeardProjects]

That's a great practice! :)

[@TheMakiwerem]

Black Beard Projects i am wery practical thx fore the com

[@jamesmanning1528]

How much would it cost to build another one and sell it

[@BlackBeardProjects]

I don't think I'll ever make these to sell... Maybe if I had a cnc mill :')

[@darrinrace8865]

Do you make and sell these?

[@marwanabutarieh1868]

Good job but How it used?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks! You'll see it in use with my next knifemaking video :)

[@Brandon-so9fp]

Wonderful

[@Jimmie16]

How do you clamp the workpiece to the jig?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Nuts and bolts

[@DevinHeaps]

Impressive.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks Devin :)

[@Hard_work_sport]

Красава! Perfecto! Четкий аппарат вышел!)

[@tony5535]

Very nice, but I would have liked to see you use it!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npybhGR8hryLm80 Used for the first time here :)

[@shanibkk7249]

Sir, you are perfect greet nicely work "wow" Idonknow this work.but iam interesting.!!

[@jakobpowerflexer]

i would have put the threaded rod down on the plat, the part its attached too can get in the way of the grinder :)

[@BlackBeardProjects]

You think so? :) I'll see when I use it some!

[@jakobpowerflexer]

it depends on how long knives you make and how long you work rest is. you can see my jig in my videos :) its a bit like yours mine is just a bit(lot) more simple. one thing that is good about mine is that is made of thick alu that helps ceeping it cool :)

[@mohamadhannaoui3196]

Awesome

[@jaysanders7472]

What would you charge for one of those?

[@BlackBeardProjects]

I'm sorry Jay I'm not selling those :)

[@jaysanders7472]

Black Beard Projects well a feller has to try. Thanks you anyway.

[@gmor54ars]

Awesome work i only need. A 3D printer , a welding machine and all th experince and knowledge by that time i will ne 76 years old

[@UnstoppableTramp]

Such a great jig, you could sell them!

Que show ficou d+

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you my friend :)

[@freekvancauwenberghe]

i was wondering why nobody decided to use a teflon sliding bottom sooner :)

[@AnanasStudio]

How many holes you drill?!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

260 on one steel plate, 9 on the other steel pieace and 6 on the plastic base! So 274 at the end
