Large animal clipper blades are used to shear and clip sheep, llamas, alpacas, goats, large dogs, cows, horses and even exotic zoo animals. These blades are sharpened a little differently than other standard clipper blades. Bonnie Megowan demonstrates the difficulties of sharpening these blades and the problems these type of large animal blades present the average clipper blade sharpener. #sharpening

What is the type of metal the cylinder is made of!!! What are the materials that you spray and wipe the cylinder with before working on it? Please reply..I am from Syria

@BonikaShears Год назад

I wiped the rub block off with simple alcohol. The rub block can be ordered. It is made of steel and very flat.

Yes, if you want it done right. Or take your blades to a professional.

Are you singing Bonnie? :D

@BonikaShears 4 года назад

Yes. It's "Round an round, round and round..."

@tylernolforpain 4 года назад

I was just wondering.... is there music playing... but then the music shits off when you stop sharpening. I sing while I'm sharpening too... usually Fleetwood Mac or Dolly Parton hahah

Is it beneficial to use the flat side of the hone when sharpening big animal clippers?

@CRJines 2 года назад

You need to do a video on how to drag out a 4 minute video into a half hour...

@BonikaShears 2 года назад

I did one. But. It was 3 hours long.

@BJBaker-oh4gt 3 года назад

I love this video!! I went down and bought sonic clear and rust cleaner but I can’t find those baskets? I went to dollar general and a couple other places do you have any idea what they’d use them for otherwise? Thank you

@BonikaShears 3 года назад

It might have been Family Dollar or Dollar General. I cut them in half, they come two hooked together with a handle.

I had trouble translating. Are you asking the grit on the Nebraska blades machine?

@lyonsharpeningservice2896 Год назад

Great video as always Bonnie and a wonderful reference. I do not do a lot of these because there is not a large market for these types of blades in my area. However, these blades do come into the shop from time to time and they can be very time consuming. They require a lot of cleaning and multiple charges on the wheel. Definitely not my favorite sharpening task but always challenging.

@BonikaShears Год назад

So true!

@darrylbortvit8594 3 года назад

You said that they are flat.

@tonymitchell5856 3 года назад

Everybody talk about how to set blades but nobody tell you about repair or where to get parts on shearing Clippers..

@BonikaShears 3 года назад

I can't help you there either. Check with the Edge Pro.

@mikeleuchs1326 2 года назад

I have found a good light and good magnification are essential

@BonikaShears 2 года назад

Yes they are!

@mikeleuchs1326 4 года назад

I found that I used the Combs on the freshly charged plate and the Cutters after it's been used for a while

@BonikaShears 4 года назад

I'll start doing the combs first. The fresh grit will work better on the large comb it seems.

@deoara1 4 года назад

Do you share on the Bonika website about where to purchase the rust remover and cleaners?

@BonikaShears 4 года назад

The rust remover is on Amazon and other places.. We sell H42 on our website www.bonika.com

@mikeleuchs1326 4 года назад

Excellent video. I wish you were around years ago

@BonikaShears 4 года назад

I was, but I didn't know what I do now so it wouldn't have done you any good.

Hello. what type of laser light is that, also what solution do you have in your wash tank? Thanks in advance :o)

@BonikaShears 3 года назад

The laser light is the Stanley brand and is easily found at many hardware stores. I use a diluted solution of Evaporust in my ultrasonic cleaner. About 1/3rd water. We don't sell Evaporust, but you can order in on line.

@longlowdog 2 года назад

Sheep shearing metal has a concave grind. Shearing sharpening machines have a convex face. Combs and cutters are held in different positions relative to the convexity. Flat grinding will produce a comb and cutter that works briefly but will heat very quickly. A properly sharpened comb should do 50 sheep and a cutter 25.

@BonikaShears 2 года назад

Yes, our equipment will put a hollow into the blades. You are right about the concave grind.

@tomtd Год назад

The heiniger machine for sheep llama etc is totally different from the Nebraska system, I use a heiniger type plate machine for pet and horse, but not sheep, the sheep machine is vertical and uses a pendulum cutter holder. There are videos on line, usually Australian demonstrating these. The discs are grit on paper glued to the rotating disc the comb and cutter use different arcs on the pendulum. I steer clear of these as the geometry is totally different.

@eagleeyeviewimages 4 года назад

Awesome video. You got lucky on that blade , I had one jump all over the inside of my van one day. I hate when that happens. I am a mobile blade shear knifes surgical etc sharper. Great video.

@BonikaShears 4 года назад

Thanks

@mitch3384 2 года назад

Hi Eagle Eye, I'm a knife/scissor/tool sharpener in New Zealand. Just curious, what does your surgical sharpening involve? What kind of tools do you sharpen there, what sort of industries?

@sharpen-up 2 года назад

You think you could do these on the little red honer?

@BonikaShears 2 года назад

I know people who have. This was our first clipper hone and we used them at the stables here in Atlanta since it was portable.

@ML-vc8zs 2 года назад

I've done many of these and they can be very time consuming and use a lot of grit.

@BonikaShears 2 года назад

I don't like then. Jason Sturm says sometimes he must recharge the plate before he finishes one blade.

@ML-vc8zs 2 года назад

@@BonikaShears Yes that is my experience as well. I actually started using a 400 grit diamond plat for initial sharpening and then finish up on my wheel. Still very time consuming.
