HOW To get a BEAUTIFUL MIRROR finish!?

[@rickhall5399]

Here’s a pro tip put little disposable plastic shower caps on your buffing wheels when they’re not in use so they don’t collect other compounds and dust and grit from your shop

[@willardjames2685]

Glad to see your alive!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Lol barely

[@rustytygart405]

Really appreciate your videos You share a lot of information that sometimes takes a lot of research but when you’re new even the basics are unknown until you learn Very helpful thank you

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Glad to help!! Thank you

[@Aragon-c4y]

This is the same system guys have been polishing big truck wheels and fuel tanks with a hand held. Its truly amazing what this can do. They also have a liquid polish you can finish up with just using a fiber cloth for that extra fine mirror.

[@valentinigarageworks]

Yep great system. I bought a set a while back. Super easy to get a mirror polish on my razors!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

It’s been a huge time saver for me! I guess they have an even courser cut wheel aswell 🤔

[@drmikeyb1]

The rake helps incredibly. Breaks them in and cleans

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Definitely!

Want to mirror polish a Manix 2 blade for me this year? This year I want my big project knife to be a mirror polished Manix 2. Was originally thinking about harvesting a MagnaCut blade from a Salt, but people have been having huge problems getting them to work in G10 liners, so now I'm thinking about CPM Cruwear when the Crucarta Manix drops.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Email me sometime to talk

[@PatriotForgeOhio]

Just what i was looking for. I appreciate the video. I will be in my shop today making a buffer from all thread and whatever motor i can find 🤣

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

lol good luck

New Subscriber, Awesome, just started hobby work, polishing, refurbishing knives, excellent content... Thank You !!!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Awesome thank you for watching!!

[@trainwon5699]

Good to see you back on the tube 👍 good info thanks

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheIslandsForge]

Hi from ireland, super videos.. ive a question, what or when do you decide between buffer wheels vs scotch brite belts vs very high grit belts for getting the finish? Thanks

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I take most blade finishes to the same grit no matter what final finish I plan to do

[@toddtaucher1863]

What's up fellow Michigander! Love your craftsmanship.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Hey thank you!!

[@Labrador_Forge]

Of course it's sold out too! How much do they retail for since it doesn't show price?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I think around 85$ should be back in stock soon

[@Labrador_Forge]

​@@gentrycustomknives8008 thank you, I'm in the email notification for when they come back in

[@floraly88]

Could we use something like that to polish the edge as well? For example after sharpening on a guided system as a finish?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Absolutely!

[@Mxsintoni]

What buffers are you using?

[@Derrick_FL]

Hey sir, you seem to have a video for all my blade needs recently. Do you have one for blueing or doing a blade coating?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I have some on my stone washing process

[@Derrick_FL]

@gentrycustomknives8008 ill look for them thanks

[@brysonalden5414]

These could be a game changer for me also, many thanks for bringing this product to the community's attention. Since you've used them for a while, do you have any feel for how long each wheel is likely to last? 100 blades each? 500?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

They last a very long time. I’ve used the other set for a couple years and they are still fine

[@brysonalden5414]

@@gentrycustomknives8008 Thank you for your quick response! When they're back in stock I will use your link to order a set.

[@jamesperkins9833]

Been looking at this system myself, thanks for the video!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thank you!!!

[@johnevans2282]

Great info, where do you buy your buffs and polishing compounds?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Red label abrasives

[@jonathan_guerrero]

Can you provide us with a grit on those compounds?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

It’s the full kit from red label abrasives

[@jonathan_guerrero]

@@gentrycustomknives8008 thank you!

[@jameskoehn4331]

Use a wood bastard file to rough them up

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I picked up one of those buffing wheel rakes

[@FRANKKKKYYYY]

Hello! Big thanks from the deep North of Canada for all your work and videos! I was wondering what king of grinfer fif you ude in this video! I am loonking for a good price grinder that ex: i could use whit those weels or others! Thank you in advance and continue your great work i love shining my knifes either for my collection or costumers! Frank

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I’m now using the grizzly buffers and they are great!

[@FRANKKKKYYYY]

@@gentrycustomknives8008 thank you are they expensive? Right now i am using all my weels with my Drill! Thank you for answering! continue your good work!

[@keithalleman8637]

Hey dude, started using this kind of buffing and polishing system for about 20 years on many different metal projects, just hobby stuff, and motorcycle parts. To get super fine needs i use cape cod polishing clothes. This will polish out small scratches in glass and mirrors. Have you used this for anything? I like to see others work and get good tips . Never to old to learn. Do you use epoxy glue on you scales. If so what kind. Thanks. Good video. Gunna subscribe.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I’ve never tried those clothes but I will now! Yes I use gflex 2 part and blade pro most of the time!

[@DannyRiskit]

So so shiny!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

👊👊👊

[@iPKnives]

Looks great‼️ how is the heat build up? Grtz

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Definitely gets a little toasty!

[@iPKnives]

@@gentrycustomknives8008 so not recommended for thin kitchen knives I guess.

[@ToolnKnives]

I've been using a generic airway wheel for a couple of months. I've a set in my cart from redlabel but haven't pulled the trigger yet. On a side note what rpm is your buffer/grinder? Keep up the good videos.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Mine are 3590 rpm . Works pretty good!

[@ToolnKnives]

@@gentrycustomknives8008 Mine are 3450 & 1750. Can't say one is better than the other.

[@enochpage1333]

What grinders do you have? I’ve not seen those.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Kmg TX grinders! Or are you asking about the buffers? Those are grizzly

[@JosephDetrick]

Do you run all your blades through the surface grinder?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Yes!

[@scottstrong1989]

What rpm are those run at?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

3590 rpm

[@pmreality9046]

This is so helpful thank you so much!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thanks for watching!!

[@GregVaughn-c3i]

What rpm buffer do you recommend for these ?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

amzn.to/3SwyDPA I run mine at 1725

[@buzzbladz7142]

Hi from Australia, love the channel, what is the kit called. Also, I don't think they sell to Aus so will have to contact them or find a supplier, unless you know one that posts international

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I’m sure they can hook you up! Send them an email.

[@markmulvaney6353]

They absolutely will ship to Australia. I live in NSW and they have shipped to me. I called them and they were super helpful. They got me a quote on shipping and I had my order in two weeks!

[@buzzbladz7142]

Thanks for the reply mate, I'll give them a call👍

[@willardjames2685]

[@chrisdrew2110]

Clean your blade between wheels or you will cross contaminate them.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Ahhh that’s a very good tip!! Thank you

[@Rthomas176]

Can I contact you for some custom work? Mirror polish for a celebratory knife gift; s90v benchmade crooked river.
