Its a bit hit and miss when sharpening with any grinder unless you have a means of clamping the tool for removing and replacing with the critical angles involved for accurate honing. This feature is found on the more expensive machines as you would expect. Remember, a sharp chisel is a safe chisel when used properly, a blunt one is dangerous if you need to force the cut. When you place your chisel or planing blade on your flat oil stone for the final honing look for the depression it makes in the oil/paraffin mix ratio 2 to 1 approx. That is now correctly placed, lift 5 degrees and press lightly covering all the stone for even wear. When you feel a burr on the back turn it over and finish with one movement keeping it flat to remove the burr. Yes it takes practice good luck.

Nice video. Which one is the best for knifes sharpening? The slow wet or fast one? Thanks

I use the slow wet wheel less than I did, I find it a bit slow, I only use it for putting a final edge on steel chisels and I don't use these often, though the faster wheel is excellent and used all the time. Cheers!

I would never use the Max water level. U really don't need to but I wanted to ask u a question if u have a moment my friend. Q. Do u know if it's at all possible to change the Wet Stone wheel out for a Diamond Wheel ?? I really want to know if that is possible man. I bought one of these in my local Lidl and I have to say for the 45 euros it cost it's great. I bought it to put a belt sander on the other side of the Wet stone but I'm also going to look into changing that stone out for a diamond stone maybe if it's possible like I said earlier in my comment. I enjoyed ur video so I sub'd & liked man. I will check into moreof ur videos as well bcos I liked what I saw in the opening to this video. Intro was cool. Was that round a piece of stone work? That was amazing looking my friend. Is that ur business or just a hobby? It looked brilliant. It was also great to see a review/unboxing where u actually used the tool as well. Keep up the great work pal. Take it easy.

I have not been able to source diamond grit wheels but it may be possible where you are.

The price reflects the quality when you compare to machines far more expensive. Treat it as a diy machine and not in anyway a professional machine. There is so much more to sharpening than guessing the angle you grind. This is an honest review by a person who knows his limited knowledge of sharpening.

I bought one today and i noticed the motor is getting very very hot. I see you touch the motor 2 or 3 times. Is that because it was hot too?

If it is too hot to touch that sounds faulty. cheers

I also bought this as an impulse buy, but not sure it's fit for my purpose. I need it to grind down pottery glazes that drip in places I don't want them to. I am thinking this will not work for that purpose - ie it's like grinding glass and/or stone.

Hi Sara, I think you may be right, the wet wheel is very slow for grinding down a hard glaze ( and you do need to do this wet). My daughter is a potter, I will ask her what she uses.

Hi Sara- Steve’s daughter here! I use a bench grinder similar to this one to take off any big drips and find it very handy to do this quickly , although it doesn’t neatly finish it, you could refire or use a dermal to polish. Use goggles, as hot glaze can flick off. I also use a Diamondcore disk for sanding the bottoms flat of any residual glaze and while expensive they are a great investment. Hope this helps :)

@@helenwalker8576 Hi Helen - thanks so much for your reply. Yes, I use a dremel and flexible diamond pads and will probably get a diamondcore disk. I grind in a spray booth and constantly wet the piece - it was this aspect of the grinder that particularly interested me, but unfortunately I returned it yesterday as wasn't confident it would do the trick. :-( Do you have a wet bench grinder?

this benchgrinder is a huge piece of brown stuff, that bigger stone on the left, the shaft that holds that heavr stone dous not even have bearings, the shaft is posistioned in the rubbish plastic housing that is simpley not strong enough for the job.

Hi Ronald, yes , the stone wheel axle is supported only by plastic bushings. Mine ( Harbor Freight - Central machinery # 35098 ) failed due to little or no lube on the metal / nylon spiral gears inside the metal box which houses the gear reduction drive. Only 4 small screws can be removed to access the inside of the box to place grease / nylon compatible lube. JwgK Houston, TX

Hi, Thanks for showing this grinder. I'm thinking of buying one of this style. One thing I'd say about grinding any kind of cutting edge, be it a chisel or a lathe tool, is to grind 'into' the cutting edge, as opposed to having the grinding wheel/stone dragging off of the edge. This will results in a stronger more uniform edge that will last longer. I don't know if you are into metal working at all. Even if not, I would highly recommend this video by Robin Renzetti, a master machinist/tool-maker: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d3l3rKNriri8mso.html&t It's about hand scraping cast iron machine parts/tooling into precise flatness/squareness. It goes into sharpening the carbide scraper blade, but the principles also apply to steel cutting edges. Watch from minutes 9:50 if only interested in the bit about sharpening.

Hi Thanks for this. I did watch the video and very interesting it is. I have always sharpened "into" and across the wheel but I will try sharpening down the wheel (with wet wheel) though I did note that this chap was specifically creating a curved edge. I want a straight edge as "digging in" is generally not an issue with stone working. Thank you again for the input. My only question is why people scrape metal? Not sure I get it! But interesting nontheless.

The Stone Crafting Workshop Scraping is for removing very small amounts of material from a surface to match it to a known flat standard. The part is blued on a granite flat, and the high spots removed and the process repeated until it is sufficiently flat. It’s also done for oil retention on slide ways of machine, as the oil sits in the pits created by scraping instead of being squeezed out from between two parts that are rubbing together.
