How To: Sharpen a Knife with a 2x72 Belt Grinder

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I have discovered that I use my 2x72 Belt Grinder more for sharpening than I do my Tormek Sharpening system. Let me show you my secrets to getting a razor sharp edge in just a few minutes using a tool you most likely already have.

    I am just using the kit I bought from you for the first time today. I ignored your salient advice to try a junk knife first, and went straight to the carving knife we need for Thanksgiving today. The system works fantastic, even in a novice's hands! I love that the position is up high where I can see what's happening and maintain good position. The misting system works perfect and is easily adjusted to keep the belt moist but not spray all over. This is an excellent use for my Revolution grinder!

    Thanks again for showing the mister. I got mine setup and it works great. What I did is to loosen the platen plate and push it to the rear. Then I used the area between the platen rollers to sharpen my knives. To me it is a more comfortable area to hold the knives. The first blade I did was my axe. It did a fantastic job. It ended up having almost a mirror finish on the blade. I love it. Thanks again.

    I have to agree, using a belt grinder is the easiest way to make a knife very sharp. I have a Harbor Freight 1x30 that I use all the time. My favorite belt is an 800 grit aluminum oxide. Water seems like a nice addition, but I don't see how I could get any sharper.

I really believe I was watching another video and mistakenly clicked on yours by mistake!! I’ll tell you why I say that, if anyone knows I’m against too much speed when sharpening blades it’s me!!! I used to use a 1x30 to sharpen blades until I found that my blades wouldn’t stay sharp !! Come to find out I was sharpening the hardnesses right out of my blades by going to fast !!! I really thought I was doing something spectacular!! After I got my 2x72 I couldn’t believe how I felt so good knowing I wasn’t ruining my blades!!! My friend as I said before, I believe I sent that comment by mistake and please believe there was no malice in it at all !!! If anyone knows speed kills it’s me , I love making knives and I’ve learned a lot from your tips and I thank you for them !!’

    I bought one of those water systems, tried it & it was just a huge mess. I tried it without the water which kinda worked & wasn't as messy, but I still rarely use it. I guess I'm just a bucket dipping guy, hahaha... I noticed you kinda scrapped the idea of a top platen behind the wheel. It makes sharpening a lot better, instead of a convex/rounded edge you get a nice flat edge, like if you were using stones. You can also use the top of the wheel instead of behind it, take away the slack. Hope all is well, take it easy.

    That mister also rated for coolant? Im interested in it for my surface grinder, mini mill, and my lathe, but waters a nono for those.

    The belt is running in reverse. Not going into the blade. Very safe. I wipe my machine down, zero corrosion issues. Just maintenance. Cheers.

    @@HouseMadeUS I have the paper wheels and they will get it sharp but it takes a nano second to ruin your temper they are so fast and get so hot! Plus it's harder for me to control the blade and angle. The grinder method is by far the best to date for me. I can get hair whittling sharp in about 3 min on a new blade

    Because of where you’re doing this there’s an obvious mounting opportunity so you could use the tour Mac attachments to achieve the correct angles I know you say you can get a sharper and you may feel that’s true but it certainly won’t be as consistent and accurate and anyone who is doing this for A living or even a side hustle it’s going to need consistency especially if there’s more than one person in the equation the same result no matter who does it is essential

    @@HouseMadeUS Yes I saw that, I should have been clear with my question. I did order that already but it didn’t come with a way to hook it to the quick connect on my compressor. So I look at your link again and saw another link for a male air fitting and another link for a quick connect. It goes to the male q/connect. Then I saw the female. So I’m asking, I guess I need the female q/connect too? By the way I have been a sub from before you finished your belt grinder. I was one of the people that sent you picks of my B/G to get ideas. Yours came to be way better than mine, congratulations.
