The Best Belt Splitter for 1" belts! Nice job R.E SHARPENING this tool you made is awesome!

On of our channel viewers sent me the most awesome belt splitter. He sells them on Etsy here is a link to his store. www.etsy.com/s...

Hello everyone! Just wanted to update you all that there are upgrades as well as a mechanism the hold down the belt when drawing it though being worked on as this is being typed. Hope to get it out to Paul soon and see what he thinks. Thanks again!

Fantastic job! Will they be available for shipping to the UK? If not, will the 3D files be on sale? I'd take either or both!

[@r.e.sharpening991]

Thank you for the input. I did think about having a belt to lay on top. I just finished the design and will start testing shortly. When I designed it, I was thinking of one blade at a time. I rounded the edges at the top so you can hold it on the side and pull it through.

Wouldn't sharpen a serrated knife without one of these. 1/4" belt stays on my Work Sharp KO full time. Very useful slack belt.

This product could be very useful in rc modeling, we split a lot of balsa wood sheets making different widths from larger wider stock, would need a couple of modifications 1) one end side would need to be flush with the center pieces because its easier when splitting balsa wood to set the wood on a cutting self healing board and set the splitter on top of the balsa then pull to split this helps keep the strips flat on the cutting board. 2) the other side needs to stick up a certain amount depending on the thickness of the balsa stock that you start with there are only about 4 different thicknesses and if you have a 1/8" side, 3/16" ect... you could just rotate that one end to adjust the height that it sticks up, with the other end flush with the middle sections you could use different width sheets to start with and set the blade width since there would not be any need to create more than 2 strips at a time make different width plastic center pieces to adjust your cut to many different combinations.

That was very cool. $40 seems like a good deal. The one problem is i want to build myself. I am already thinking i must not value my time and effort very highly,😜 but it may be a learning experience. Thank you to you and to Richard. PS. I maybe ordering one after my attempt.

[@ALXSHARPEN]

@@Jeff-lt8wc I think he was considering selling the file for people who have 3D printers

Use 1 or 2 layers of coffee filter paper on the outside plates for additional tolerance so you can tighten the screws. Filter paper is amazingly strong.

Nice tip I have tons of them too I’ll try it I use them to filter evapo rust to get longer use out of it
