Using Your Blade Rub Block

[@johnjomp]

Great short video.

[@Yellwolf]

Excellent! I watched videos in others channels and you are the first to actually move that reflected area where it would be seen.. showing it longer ! Congratulations! Ohh I need a rub block … I will be stopping by.. can you have a big one.. I am a giant

[@TheEdgePro]

Glad it was beneficial for you! The only rub blocks we have is this one: www.theedgepro.com/products/rub-block-two-sided-r which is the one from the video.

Since you guys sell blades is there any chance you could post up fresh blade rub patterns for each type of blade so we can have a reference to what we are trying to duplicate when we sharpen? Thanks.

[@916BriantheBarber]

So do you literally rub the cutter blade on the rub block? If there is a video on how it's used, that would be great. I purchased the little red (model CS-10) and was wondering how it's used.

[@TheEdgePro]

Just as in the video, we are rubbing the blade directly on the rub block. The rub blocks job is to help us simulate the seating process that happens when we put the comb and cutters together. By rubbing on the block, it allows us to see how that component is going to work with the other without having to put it all together. Thanks!

Te sobra banda de afilado si tu cono es adecuado.

Thanks for your wonderful videos. What's the name of block you use after sharpening the blade? I mean what kinda material is that?

[@TheEdgePro]

It is steel.

[@pichieandboy7816]

It's a good one, thank you very much. But can any metal be used as rub block when purchasing one is not available in your country please ?

[@TheEdgePro]

You would want to use steel. It can be cast or forged. Technically it is lap non hardened tool steel that we use. It has to be truly flat to work.

@@TheEdgePro oh I see 🤔. Thank you very much

[@salvadorlozano7519]

Do you wash the blade prior to testing with the rub block?

[@TheEdgePro]

Salvador Lozano we don’t, we will rub it on the block directly after sharpening to spot check our blades. We will wash the blades before assembling.

[@FullDottle]

What does it mean if I am getting a pattern where it is shiny in the middle (in an arch) but only like the middle teeth leaving the end 2 teeth darker?

Afilar con #180 CAMI no es una buena idea. Yo ultilizaria algo como 240 o 280 ..

[@sebastianbradford6161]

Prefiero 240 FEPA

[@QMAN254]

How much do you charge to sharpen clipper and trimmer blades

El mesh europeo y el americano son cosas distintas pequeño saltamontes

[@johnjomp]

Can you give us an idea of how much pressure you put on a blade while using a rub block? Just wsnt some idea. Thanks!!

[@MrGranit87]

You still didn’t show us how to actually use the rub block, how much pressure do you use? Do you go left to right or back and forth? For how long? Do you mark the tips with a marker pen so the pen wears away as you rub? Do you use a magnet on the back of the blade like you do when sharpening?

[@johnjomp]

Good question.

[@pichieandboy7816]

Hi , if you like I can help you.

Los 3 patrones de frotamiento son extremadamente malos .. un buen patron de frotamiento deberia mostrarte el tercio superior de la punta del diente brillante y oscuro solo la punta del diente en un patron completamente lineal igual que en la base del cortante ..completamente lineal ..un patron en pelota de futbol americano o rugby tambien es aceptable ..pero no perfecto ..la presion sobre el plato comparador y la higiene del elemento comparado y el plato mismo son la clave ..la imagen negativa y la positiva tambien.

Gosh not the terrible football pattern. The BS king of ID says it should be straight across.
