CGSW 1x4 inch diamond stones used with a guided sharpener

Here I show what it takes to use my 1"x4" stones with a guided sharpener, and how well they work. You can purchase them at cgsw.us/shop/1x4-resin-bond-d...

I love the parts that you don't cheat and show what it is as it is. Even though, the result was around 100BESS and above, I'm sure it was without filming you could get way better results. When the red REC marked, most of us tend to make things haste.

I'm assuming you've created your own aluminum base, then, drilled some round holes in the bottom to install neodymium magnets (probably 3 of them ... evenly spaced and glued in)..? Of course, you've made your own V (Y-axis) rod with hash lines, and have two adjustments on it so you can calibrate based on each stone's thickness. I'm not at all familiar with Edge Pro. I had to research it (approx.) just to learn what it's based off of. Still, it's immed obvious it's custom (w some great ideas in your rig). I'm jealous ... bc I bet you own a lathe & a mill (and probably years of experience machining) I bet few viewers even know what a dove tail is. :) Anyway .. enjoying this all immensely.

Great idea using the feeler gauge for the compensation- can I ask what thickness gauge you used? Thanks

[@CGSW]

I have .005"-.025" in .005" increments handy and use the .01" one to start with. I started using it to protect my stone and whatever it would be rubbing on when compensating for thickness. I later figured it's handy for small angle adjustments too.

@@CGSWgreat idea I just ordered some feeler gauges to try out. Do you find the apex feeling more crisp and bitey when checking against the pads of your fingers? I’m wondering since the apex isn’t getting convexed on a microscopic scales if the apex feels different on your finger pads. Normally after stropping the edge doesn’t “feel” as sharp on the pads.

Hey bud. Your last BESS test wasn't TAR'd right & started with 9g before even pressing down. Recalibrated it'd be 84g I think.

[@CGSW]

The BESS scale shows the highest weight it measures until you reset it, so the final measurement was accurate.

[@trumanhw]

@@CGSW thanks. good info.

Do you sell this knife sharpeners. I’d like to buy one

[@CGSW]

No, it's just one I made for myself to test some ideas on.

What grit is 10 micron

[@CGSW]

600-1925 depending on which conversion you like, which is why I call them out in microns.
