How much is the sharpen wheel

@alexolivarez732 Месяц назад

Do you use the wheel because the stones take too long?

@christygrubbs665 Год назад

I’m a groomer shop owner for 30 years I bought myself a sharpening wheel 2nd hand been extensively watching videos learning all I can for myself, gotten quite frustrated with the sharpening services in my area decided to do for myself. I’m grateful to subscribed to your channel for some continuing my education for myself as well as the girls with me. Thank you so much for your lessons.

@JimSharpBlog Год назад

Glad you like the channel. What clipper blade sharpening unit did you purchase?

@markanthonyalamillojr.2586 8 месяцев назад

I’d like to know too! Or where I can get one

@MarlinGalde Месяц назад

I do a variety of sharpening and just getting into clipper blade maintenance. Your video is an outstanding lesson for me. Your thoroughness from start to finish was practical and understandable. I liked your sense of caution about not overdoing the grinding and always inspect as you go. Also keeping track of the heat build up that can cause warping of the blade. Thank you

@K3Flyguy Год назад

I'm a retired barber after 30 years in the business. I miss being behind the chair but its hard for me to stand so much. I'm seriously considering sharpening shears and clipper blades as a part time retirement job. I am surprised at the cost of the proper machinery to do sharpening correctly! I do know that every time a sharpener came around it seemed to be a crap shoot as to whether or not they would do a good job. I hope to gain the skills and knowledge and equipment to always do a great job. I know first-hand how important sharp shears and blades are to the people behind the chairs.

@eteda3737 Год назад

@CompEdge 2 года назад

Always enjoy your videos Jim. Great job showing the steps to blade sharpening especially some of the often missed details such as demagnetizing and deburring. I find that often those steps are skipped in an effort to save time. But they give up quality (consistent quality) for quantity. And especially making sure that the spring is adjusted properly and not wobbly on the cutter. Many sharpeners, both new and experienced, I've trained or met over the years had no Idea to do this and as a result, had problems with their blades not cutting well or cutting better or worse on one side than the other. Keep spreading your knowledge and insights. It's helping to advance our industry to new levels!

@stephenhowell1786 2 года назад

Great & thorough job explaining the How To’s for A5 format clipper blade resurfacing. Also, nice of you to share cost saving tips for accessories used, as well as mention of equipment you like & use; and maybe even alternatives to such! Lastly, noting differences between working out of the shop vs your van & what each entails (if any), & why. Anyone following you & your methods can’t help but to succeed! Appreciative of you & your sponsors for enhancing everyone’s experience; which can only help our industry serve a higher quality of service more consistently!

@dancingbear84 2 года назад

Hey Jim, more amazing content, I never find I struggle with blades, but every time I watch anything you post I learn something new. This time it was keeping a ceramic tile to cool the blade quicker if it warms up.

I like this video it's very informative. I test a little different. I have used the test tape but I also use synthetic fur. I like the results better. But I also use a test block before I assemble to see the ware pattern to judge if I need to sharpen more. I like those tools you use. Can I get the information on where I can get those tools. Thanks

@lilliananderson1986 2 года назад

Great explanation’s! As a mobile groomer I am finding it difficult to get a sharpening guy to meetup or just be available. I want to learn the best way I can sharpen my own in a pinch without spending a lot in equipment.

@JimSharpBlog 2 года назад

Hi Lillian… Unfortunately there really isn’t any good way to sharpen blades without the correct equipment, which is a little pricy for someone just wanting to sharpen their own blades. If you would like to text me at (864) 381-8697 and let me know where you’re located I may know a sharpener in your area. I’ve trained a number of them around the USA over the years.

@caldonsharpening9643 2 года назад

Great video! I've had blades like this come in after a customer tried to sharpen them on a stone or something. I usually turn them away and tell them they are no good. Then they know not to try to sharpening them in the future. I have a great tip for straightening out the spring. Remove the socket and set the spring on a flat surface. push the top of the spring down on the surface. On the loop ends (where the hole's are) one will be lifted off the table, bend accordingly until both side are contacting the surface when pressing the top of the spring to the surface...hope that makes sense. :o)

@JodyLaw Год назад

Is there a school that you can go to to learn how to sharpen blades? Nice video by the way.

Yes, Jody. I do training on clipper blade sharpening and scissors sharpening. Here is a quote as of 12/2022 for training both in-person and via live video online: Training: In-Person Training is $500.00 per day on Mondays or Tuesdays. In-Person Training is $750.00 per day on Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays. You choose the number of days. Online Training is $60.00/hour in two hour chunks. Online Training is typically scheduled each week over a period of 3 or 4 weeks, but can be broken up by weeks however you like.

I have Wahl clippers and they came with a 20 tooth comb and cutter. I used a pair that had a 17 tooth comb and cutter and i got a much better cut. I want to replace the ones on my clippers with 17 but i can not find them online.

@johnjomp Год назад

One of the most instructive videos ever. I started not washing my blades and just wipe them with Simple Green or alcohol. Just one comment. When assembling the blade, I find it much easier to do when leaving the cutter off. Thank you Jim.

Hi Jim, thanks for this great work. I want to as ask, can aluminium wheel sharpen all types of clipper blade ? I sharpened some blade and they appeared correctly . Out of that Someone also brought his clippers to sharpen 4 him, this time I did but the blades couldn't cut hairs and the client was annoyed. That is why I'm asking you this question. Thank you dear.

@JimSharpBlog Год назад

The grit that’s on the aluminum plate is what does the sharpening, but the plate also needs to be tapered to create a hollow grind.

@megarider 10 месяцев назад

Hello Jim, what a tactical clipper blade sharpening demonstration. I am based in Kenya and would like to buy the wooden grit applicator. Kindly send me the link.

@JimSharpBlog 3 месяца назад

The grit applicator is just a piece of oak wood.

@KosikPL Год назад

Is your sharpening wheel convex shape ? Or flat ? I see lot comments that say you always sharpen clippers on convex stone/wheel. Any thoughts on that? Grate video ;)

@JimSharpBlog Год назад

It is tapered to hollow grind the blade. That means it’s slightly higher in the middle than on the outside of the plate.

@drendaharrison5550 Год назад

It looks easy for you but I don't think I could do it but I will give it a try.😊

@ahmadwannous3790 Год назад

Please, can you tell me what is the name of the material that you spray on the cylinder? And what type of metal is the cylinder made of? I hope for a response..??

@michaelhamilton6549 2 года назад

Hey Jim, great video! Do you think the clipper was sharpened flat and created that oval along the cutter?

@capnmatt41 2 года назад

What would cause that oval shape and tooth damage? Touching tips down first on the plate? Too much forward pressure? Is it something that could have occurred during use, like from cutting a dirty dog? I pulled a lot of little tips from this vid, much appreciated!

@JimSharpBlog 2 года назад

Hi Matt…The tip damage is most likely either from a roll upwards as the cutter was lifted off the plate or the tips hit first on set down. The oval was actually the new edge working itself in because the blade was sharpened flat. Actually it was sharpened flat with an outward negative flare on the outer edges, which makes me think it was sharpened on a flat hone instead of a clipper blade sharpener.

@krisweythman8806 Год назад

Do you use a solid form of lard for your combining with the H-42? What brand do you use?

@JimSharpBlog Год назад

Just use straight lard oil in a can. Not solid. I do a 50/50 mix.

I typically don’t do trimmer blades, in my opinion they are just disposable blades. They can be sharpened, but they are a little too thin for my taste to do. I always suggest my customers buy new ones.

Good enough ..you decide...I use a digital food scale ($20 Amazon) I take the bowl off and gentle push down on the scale with the clipper blade extended and watch the scale to see when blade moves. The scale is accurate (can measure in gms) and is a lot cheaper then tension gauge. Close enough reading for my needs.

Hi Jim How long does the default cylinder last a year or six months?

@JimSharpBlog Год назад

I’m not sure what you’re asking. If you mean the plate, it will do about 1000 blades per side on average and it’s a two sided plate.

@شعبالجزائرمسلم-ت3نلا 10 месяцев назад

After working on both sides of the cylinder and consuming a thousand blades for each side, can we re-machine it? Thank you for the answer.
