super helpful. I'm about use mine for the first time after years of free handing. I was feeling a bit intimidated. Feeling better after watching this - thanks

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@osulxa]

I need a good jig and this looks great. Thank you for this video. I think I'll purchase the large one for use with making kitchen knives.

[@globeeartheulogy9126]

I have learned a lot from you and you have improved my knife building skills a lot! Love your work buddy! ❤thanks

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Thank you so much! really appreciate the feedback

[@calistaberger6177]

Really enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for the knowledge about how to use hugs and this one in particular, I'm new to knife making and this really demonstrated how to properly use a jig and create a good bevel. Very much what I needed.

[@andrewneilson227]

This looks like a great product. I think the best feature is the angle adjustment. Most jigs out there don’t actually indicate what angle you are grinding at. It seems like this feature would lead to good consistent bevels when making the same knife build over again. Thanks for reviewing it

[@rorysmith4046]

The jig is a great jig, but those angles aren’t accurate..

[@denniscasey986]

Thank you for a great review.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dougcoleman5346]

I have one just exactly like yours however a different name on it. Yes they work marvelous highly recommend one

[@featherorknot]

Well... just placed my order - thanks for the video - made the decision way easier

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@JustinVManes]

great review.

[@engelwyre]

I'm waiting on delivery of my OBM 2x72. As a result of this video, I'm coming dangerously close to ordering an OBM jig.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Before you decide take a look at the Tilt Table bevel grinding jig. www.Bergknifemaking.com

[@thomaschetney990]

Thank You very nice presentation It help me with is jig. My kids bought me the big one

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Glad I could help

[@ramrodgunner433]

Thank you for the education, well done

[@ramrodgunner433]

Your video came just in time , I got my jig last week from OBM , excellent

[@Aleeknives]

That is sweet, however I like the tilt table for grinding bevels that you make even better!

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Thank you

[@bdgackle]

Thanks! Needed help figuring out how to do the tip portion with this jig.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Glad I could help!

[@PatriciaSamHouston]

Just bought his products and they are great

[@AnonYmous-ii4tc]

Nice work and thank you. Glad you mentioned the adjustment slide at 9:11, trying to make the blade edge parallel. I’m wondering how well these jigs work if your blade belly has a radius back toward the choil.

[@damasydia]

I have one of these OBM bevel jigs and I was waiting for someone to make a video about the features, I didn’t know what the sliding slots were for

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Glad to help

[@vidakis9111]

Loved ur video

[@supermannyg3]

This was very helpful. Thanks!

[@DIYeasycrafts]

You're welcome!

[@ataleph1]

Thanks for the video! Can you regrind an assembled knife using this kind of jig?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

No not very easily the handle would prevent proper mounting

[@NorthernLoki]

its a nice jig ... i would buy one but seems like they dont ship to the UK :(

[@zezoseller6]

what is the grit of the belt

[@Grizz0220]

So I have this exact same jig (just the larger version) and a problem I keep having is my bevel isn’t maintaining the same distance from the edge all the way down. I am pushing the tip more into the belt like you show in the video, but it’s still not perfectly even. I wish I could post a photo of it so you can see what I mean.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Send a photo to [e-mail] I will take a look

[@chrisinman2413]

Dan, thanks for the thorough and informative video. The jig looks well designed and well made, though I wonder how it would hold a hidden tang knife. Is it limited to full tang knives only? Thanks.

[@Neg319]

Looks like you could just clamp it.

[@Grizz0220]

What do you like more for grinding bevels, this or the origins tilt table?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

tilt table 100%

[@cirusrahulsanchez9493]

Cómo hago uno o vendemelo porfis saludos de donde es

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

Do you like the tilt table or the jig ? I've always ground freehand but was thinking for the final passes for cleanup using a jig. Thanks for the video good info.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Jason Northguard and I actually invented the Tilt Table. Many have copied or stolen our design which will eventually be worked out in court. Simple answer to your question is the Tilt Table in my opinion is much better!!!

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

@@DIYeasycrafts thank you ill have to look into your tilt table thanks again

[@billclancy4913]

Do you think the aluminum acts as a heat sink to pull the best from the blade?

[@neilyakuza6595]

You only need to quench frequently if your knife is already hardened and tempered so you do not lose the hardness and temper of the blade. If tou are grinding out a knife blank that has not been heat treated yet, constant cooling of the blade is not necessary.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

It is if you do not want to burn your fingers LOL

[@ramrodgunner433]

I am looking for the blade railroad marker,scribe, very cool. Want to buy one.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Origin blade maker has them. You can also find them on ebay

[@MrLanzac]

Could you do hollow grinds with these?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

No unfortunately you can not hollow grind with 90 degree table jigs. Check out the Tilt Table jig bergknifemaking.com/collections/knife-making/products/tilt-table-knife-bevel-grinding-jig

[@jerrysteele7785]

I wish you would have put where you got your scribe to make your railroad tracks where'd you buy that tool

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Sorry about that. Did a short video on them (attached link). Found it on ebay. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKLEmpxuir14mMU

[@rorysmith4046]

Have you figured out a way to get the width of the bevel the same at the tip as it is at the plunge with the OBM jig? I see that like some of mine, yours are narrower at the tip than at the plunge.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

That is one of the problems with any 90 degree jig. You can pull the handle toward you or away from the grinder as you get to the tip. That will help a little. Otherwise I take a look at the Tilt Table jig that I use on all my bevels. Jayson Northgard and I developed it because of the same issue. bergknifemaking.com/collections/knife-making/products/tilt-table-knife-bevel-grinding-jig

[@robbgriffey6532]

So correct me if I am wrong to have a 30 degree angle you grind the bevels 15 degrees each side?

[@jameswalker6810]

Hey, what size table do you use for that rest. Also is that bevel jig worth getting for the price? What size holes are they?

[@CagedSUPERMAN]

Dumb question. How do you put the secondary bevel/final edge on?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

I do it on the 2x72. Here is another video showing the process. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6TZm42bmZergs0

[@triune_blades]

How wide do want the railroad tracks?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

about the width of a dime

[@triune_blades]

@@DIYeasycrafts thank you!

[@MrBAMAREDNECK]

Are these knives already heat treated? Before grinding bevels?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

No Sir most knives are ground before heat treating

[@thejoneses100]

@@DIYeasycrafts that is patently false. Common practice is to harden/temper and then grind. You keep a bucket of water around while grinding for a reason - to avoid overheating and losing your temper. That being said, of course it can be done either way, but depending on length/ thickness of stock, grinding before heat treat may cause warpage upon treatment.

[@Afisch00]

so if you want a 20 degree bevel you would set it to 10 for each side?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Yes but 20 degree bevel is usually for the micro bevel

[@Grizz0220]

What angle do you start the jig at for each bevel?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

It really depends on thickness of the blade and how wide you want the bevel to be. Primary bevel should bring both side down to thickness of about a dime on the blades edge. Micro bevel should be about 20 degrees

[@billclancy4913]

Dan, what are the dimensions of your table?

[@MakersMovementDIY]

Neat

[@toddbatstra645]

❤

[@CagedSUPERMAN]

I bought this jig and honestly it gives me so much hassle

[@travisgallagher677]

OBM Shipping is crazy high

[@russellsuiter480]

funny that Diktator Grinder sales that same part over a hundred dollar cheaper

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Im pretty sure they all function the same.

Great video to bad you guys arent as good at shipping the things people order from you or customer service? Thats a joke with these guys to.

[@DIYeasycrafts]

You guys??? I have no idea if OBM is good with shipping. This was just a product review video

[@dennismike7195]

@@DIYeasycrafts Your videos are great, I'm a beginner and the first place I go to learn something is to watch one of yours.

[@paulottowell8835]

No way are the grind lines even to the tip

[@DIYeasycrafts]

You can absolutely get the grind lines even with edge scribed line. Width of bevel at tip will always be a bit narrower but can be maximized by arcing jig away as you get to the tip. See video for details.
