Always been the same with tong hanging out. 😂

Now there's tidy for you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Do u mind to tell me what grit did u used on the disk? great video and explanation congrats

I'll do mine now in a minute, tidy mun.

What Is the grit of 2 inch roloc disc you used to sharpen the trimmer?

What compressor do you have?

Great video. Do the sparks not potentially damage the plastic casing of the engine and the fuel tank though?

Hi Scott. Thanks for the comments. Yes I couldn't find the exact model on amazon. Here's the make and model. Sealey, SA720. Its quite expensive. The kit is just under £200 rrp. You might find it cheaper on the net. Cheers Calvin

Hi Calvin. I’ve just bought these hedge trimmers and I was wondering how often you have to grease the gearbox and tend to the blades with lubricants?

@CalvinThomas05

5 жыл бұрын

Hi Ben. I grease the gearbox at the start of each season. Maybe once more mid season if I'm doing a lot of work with them. I lubricate at the start of each job and I spray about every 30 minutes sometimes less. I try to keep the blades wet ( lubricated ) because they wear when they're dry . All the best Calvin

Calvin: Could I manually use a high-grit/rough sandpaper instead of a file or a disk machine? I am trying not to purchase all of the elaborate things I would need to do this, that, in total would cost me more than a new hedge trimmer.

Hi eddyvideostar. I would recommend a file before sand paper but if that's all you've got to use then yes sand paper would help better than not doing anything to them at all. Personally I would strip the blades and sharpen them with a file if I didn't have a grinder of any kind. Hope this bit of info helps. Cheers Calvin

To Calvin: I appreciate your response. I believe that you are right and will get the appropriate file. Question: What do you mean by, "strip the blades?"

@CalvinThomas05

Hi. eddyvideostar. When I say strip I mean I sometimes tack the blades off the machine to sharpen them but you can just line up the blades like I am in the video. Cheers Calvin

Dremel all the way man

Dremel diameter too small; 4" grinder flaps too big. Your 2" type looks Goldilocks size. Thanks to you I'm checking out angled die grinders - - but not for £100!! Looking into SPTA pack for under £40 (with 1" , 2" and 3" pads, no longer available in UK , but still in France) but waiting for feedback on whether a 2HP 50L (Macafer) will actually do the job. In theory it has more than enough debit of air but want confirmation from an actual user (on Amazon France); two days in and no replies. Thanks again for this lead.

could i use a dremel?

Hi Ryan. Yes I'd say a dremel would do a very similar job. Cheers Calvin

Very carefully with a fine file - unless you want to ruin it!
