Thank you very much sir for mentioning that the spring-loaded tension arm comes locked in place. The manual doesn't even state this! I stopped using this sharpener because it was such a royal pain to do belt changes without knowing this info. Thank you!

[@johannesdevries6617]

thanks! you provide well thought out in depth info.

[@marke.1021]

Love the idea of showing how to - Right out of the box! Getting it down to the aspect of we can do this as well. Thanks Cliff-

So slammed with sharpening action n customers but I knew this was the "last chance" Uploading the 2nd part now...its a winner!

[@JayKayHobbies]

Awesome video as always! 😊 Thank you for doing these! I've been using this machine for about a month and love it. I do recommend making sure the platen is straight. Mine came with a slight curve in it and after a few minutes in the vice she was ready to go! I removed the 6 inch wheel with the hopes to turn it into a buffer/polisher. Could you do a video on how to extend the shaft and mount a buffing wheel onto it?

[@richardbranton190]

That video was right on time. Mine got here today and I'm about to open it up 👍 thanks

[@CurryCustomCutlery]

Very welcome and thanks for your membership! Happy sharpening...

[@Nekias1]

Excellent video with lots of practical tips. Great job.

[@r.e.sharpening991]

I have 2 of these. Great machines!

[@johnjomp]

Very useful information!!

[@billyicon2806]

could you do a video on how you thin a knife

[@CurryCustomCutlery]

I have coming soon. But I like to make sure I can show with a level of success first. The 2x42 is getting water cooled now and new cushion platten first. Then I test, then I show...

[@oldstersoutside674]

Thanks for another informative video

[@robertmunguia250]

Nice! I put a felt wheel on grizzly 1 by 30 and works ok. Not variable speed though.

[@redangrybird7564]

Hi Cliff, I'm starting my sharpening business (just part time for now) Whish me luck ! Thanks for your friendship and all your videos. Take care 😎👍

[@lizardman2124]

Good stuff, Cliff! Thanks. Do you have a video coming showing how to modify the disc side to accept wheels?

[@CurryCustomCutlery]

Uploading now...I show how to strip it off then I just hammered a wheel on. Not the most technical but it s a winner no matter how you get there!

[@tonykazz2779]

nice work

[@leadingedgeknifeandtoolsha4128]

AWESOME CLIFF!!!!!! you are always awesome!!

[@CurryCustomCutlery]

Awww thanks man! Just for that Ill drop the part 2 box build now ;)

[@leadingedgeknifeandtoolsha4128]

@@CurryCustomCutlery AWESOME, I will watch

[@briand6386]

Great timing, literally got mine in yesterday. 🎉 Any idea what the threaded hole is for on the top pulley? In an older video you cut away the frame around the top pulley for better access to the belt, it that not needed any more?

[@CurryCustomCutlery]

I will probably do the same just for the tiny oddball thing you want to strop

[@j.d.1488]

Cliff awesome. I've watch your prior videos on the Rikon 50-161vs I have one ?. Any ideas on how to keep this unit cool when running on low RPM settings

[@CurryCustomCutlery]

Just run em....After a few years they cool down some but never have failed in hours n hours of use

[@gm7tx]

Your new shop/store is looking terrific! Do you plan on continuing with the mobile service once the store is fully open and functional?

[@CurryCustomCutlery]

thx Gary, we have plans underway. Hiring an employee and then...

[@billmanning8806]

Good luck! 🙂

[@CurryCustomCutlery]

Stuck the landing. Loving the new stropping station!
