It's Time to Sharpen Clipper Blades - New Techniques | Bonika Shears

Great video. Always learn something new from your channel.

Thank you!

HI Bonnie, regarding the screw gun vs screw driver. Maybe just do a tweak on the process, just like you did with the tension test. Just after you check the tension just use a screw driver to crack losen the screws. Then use the screw gun to take all the screws out the rest of the turns. It will save the twisting fatigue on your arm. This becomes use the right tool at the right time. Use the gun for the number of turns and use the screw driver for the high torque requirement and precise control. See if this makes any difference for you.

Wow! I'll try this!

Hey luv cool video's and btw jim turner is a great friend of mine we got to be friends I'm a surgical repair guy and im still learning from jim and sending him and Al our blade's..thanks for tips luv all

So sweet!

[@mattaltland1351]

Hi Bonnie Set the clippers on a lower table so you have more down ward pressure with the battery screw driver. I believe you will like the screw gun then.

[@BonikaShears]

I'll try that.... or maybe stand up.

[@mattaltland1351]

@@BonikaShears you mentioned a way to tighten the tension with clippers together what is that way.

[@brakeme1]

wow! I wish I would have got the bigger machine. I have the smallest one Nebraska offers. I can see the difference just in the spark and power. I like the glove tip for spreading lard. Also you will be amazed at what the correct screw bit is, but it's the most important. If you find a bit that essentially feels like it clicks into the Phillips screw. Then you have way more leeway. As an old mechanic... don't use power on screws. Great video as always.

Thank you.

can i use silicon carbide power? to put into sharpening wheel?

[@BonikaShears]

I am not an expert on clipper blades. I follow what the guys at the edge pro suggest to stay safe.

[@dmac2401]

Hey Bonnie, just getting into sharpening but I can help you with some advice on the screws as I have a mechanical background. You can either turn the electric screwdriver with you hand (like a manual one) to “crack” the screw and then use the electric one to do most of the turning. Otherwise a great tool to get some extra leverage and help you out would be a 1/4 inch ratchet and a PH2 1/4 socket, I use this for really stubborn screws on cars.

I think I have one of these my Daddy used. Will dig it out!

[@brenthighfield2028]

That's my Caution magnet on the Nebraska Blades Sharpener!! It says Caution, our sharpening has been known to cause bodily harm. ;-)

[@BonikaShears]

I forgot where it came from! Thanks for reminding me. Love it.

hello my friend I'm from chile could you tell me what is h42 and a type of detergent?

[@BonikaShears]

H42 is a oil based disinfectant available in many countries, but I don't know if they sell to Chile. You can check with H42products.com

Can clippers blades be sharpened on flat ceramic stones manually? Why would you need to use those discs?

[@BonikaShears]

No. The clipper plate is cone shape to create a hollow grind. Watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnWwlIuQjd1jjdU

[@mauriciolguin]

@BonikaShears I've been watching, but still don't get. I need a cartoon to visualize better. A hollow grind is thick at the top (the spine) and very thin before the middle part of the blade, as the straight razors. I don't see any hollow grind in the blades of the clippers. When I see the patterns after sharpening with those plates, what I see is that more material was taken from the laterals, and the only thing that's implying is that you're not gonna cut with the same efficiency in the laterals.

[@BonikaShears]

@@mauriciolguin the hollow is slight but real. Did you watch the lampshade video??? If there was no hollow it would chop the hair instead of slice it. This video may also help visualize it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/emWboKZmjMmqpdU

[@mauriciolguin]

@BonikaShears thanks for your reply. Now I understand perfectly well the shape of the plate and the pattern of the blades after using the revealing lapping plate. The two videos are very useful. Now, what I don't understand, is how that sharpening pattern cuts better than a flat one. For example, hollow grind shears are flat in the contact point between the two blades and I thought that the same applies to clippers, but no I don't know.

[@crazy96er]

How many rpm do you sharpen at? Thanks!!

[@BonikaShears]

Variable Speed: approximately 875 - 1750 rpm. I am going the full speed.

Боника, я восхищаюсь Вашей стойкостью и тем, что Вы показываете свою работу, своё любимое дело. Я тоже недавно начал заниматься заточкой - маникюрный, грумерский, парикмахерский инструмент. Многие приёмы работы, приспособления, оборудование, расходные материалы, которые вы показываете - я вижу много схожего с тем, что использую я и с тем, как меня учили это делать. Позвольте мне немного конструктивной критики. На мой взгляд, результат заточки не очень хорош. Заточка на зерне P180 - это очень грубо. Возможно, для человеческого волоса это будет приемлемый результат, но для шерсти животных - это слишком крупный абразив. В Америке нет чугунных плит для ручной доводки? После черновой механической заточки на абразиве P240 (оксид алюминия на алюминиевой план-шайбе), произвожу ручную доводку лезвий ножевого блока на чугунной плите, в которую шаржировано алмазное зерно. Для парикмахерских машинок - 20/14, для грумерских - 14/10 (размеры зерна указаны в микронах). Диаметр волоса животного порядка 15-18 микрон и размер алмазного зерна 14/10 идеально подходит для доводки. Процесс доводки контролирую в микроскоп - риски от алмазного зерна должны быть равномерны, от основания зубчиков до их концов. Тестирую качество заточки на тестовом мехе Moser и затем на старой шубе (например, сейчас - шуба из кролика). Хорошо заточенный ножевой блок буквально сбривает мех до основания (ткань или голая кожа). А у вас результат не впечатлил меня сейчас. Извините :)

I'm having trouble translating this length of a comment.

[@BorusBasis]

@@BonikaShears - ok, i'm translate :) Bonica, I admire your perseverance and the fact that you show your work, your favorite thing. I also recently started sharpening - manicure, grooming, hairdressing tools. Many techniques of work, devices, equipment, consumables that you show - I see a lot of similarities with what I use and how I was taught to do it. Let me have some constructive criticism. In my opinion, the result of sharpening is not very good. Sharpening on P180 grain is very rough. Perhaps this will be an acceptable result for human hair, but for animal hair it is too large an abrasive. In America, there are no cast-iron plates for manual finishing? After rough mechanical sharpening on the P240 abrasive (aluminum oxide on an aluminum plan washer), I make manual finishing of the blades of the knife block on a cast-iron plate in which the diamond grain is caricatured. For hairdressing machines - 20/14, for grooming machines - 14/10 (grain sizes are indicated in microns). The diameter of the animal's hair is about 15-18 microns and the size of the diamond grain is 14/10 ideal for finishing. I control the finishing process with a microscope - the risks from the diamond grain should be uniform, from the base of the teeth to their ends. I test the quality of sharpening on a Moser test fur and then on an old fur coat (for example, now - a rabbit fur coat). A well-sharpened knife block literally shaves the fur to the base (fabric or bare skin). And your result did not impress me now. Sorry :)

Oh no not the clipper blade's!..I will send you mine...lol...luv yall...ive used the twice as sharp...plate looks better and betty knows what's what
