Thank you for yet another great video! I've been sharpening knives for many years, both free hand and guided. And I love watching these videos to pick up som new ideas. And it's great to see other sharpeners conferm some of my own theories and ideas about sharpening knives. I really want that thin jig for my T-8! I may have to save up for one.👍 Thank you to both of you.
Indeed it's always insightful seeing how others approach their sharpening, regardless of long you've been doing it yourself. Sincerely appreciate your kind words and for watching ~Peace~
Oh my goodness! I can stop buying Sloyd knives when they go dull and sharpen my own now! I have the Tormek set up (It's the older one like what's shown) but mine doesn't have that wheel. Wish me luck sir! I just subscribed and added your channel to my watchlist. Do you have a membership channel as well? Thank you again!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words and for the subscription Joey, it means a lot thank you. I don't have a membership channel at the moment, but it is something I am considering moving forward. Peace and blessings my man ~Peace~
A very welcome set of videos with Nic, thanks Zed. One quick question, if I were to invest in a diamond wheel to replace my stone 250, what grade would you recommend? My instinct would be a course….
A full concave is very aggressive, it will tend to dig in as the edge is tipped into the wood by the back of the concave grind. A secondary bevel is sort of the opportunity site scenario , the flat grindl provides no guide or support so you have to tip into the edge to find the biting point, useful for some cuts but not so good for smoothing or planing cuts.
Great video - would a 6” CBN wheel be appropriate for putting the hollow in or is this too much of a radius? (I have the tormek bench grinder set up so would still be using jigs etc)
An 8" wheel is certainly ok, 6" is going to leave rather deep hollow but I guess it would work as well, if you are doing rough work then to reduce the likelihood of damaging the edge ( as there's less steel supporting it even at the same edge angle) you might need to use a slightly thicker tramline to start with, however as the hollow is deeper it should still last as long or longer.
Hat Nic Westermann auch eine Dependance / Firma im EU Bereich oder gar in Deutschland? Seine Produkte sind toll, aber die Einfuhrzölle sind echt unangenehm hoch...
