Hey great video very informative… my wife has a grooming salon and I just recently bought an old treyco CL it’s 16” wheel ? It’s 25 years old roughly it works just fine ,honing wheel has plenty of life on the one side for HG sharpening … I am successfully sharpening my wife’s blades and she’s happy … However it takes me 2 minutes to sharpen the comb and cutter with the automatic arms on the Treyco machine this machine has one speed and is optimized for the automatic arms I believe … would you advise I update to a newer machine … most videos I see with people sharpening, is done by hand like you have done … is this because it much quicker than using the arms … I appreciate any information regarding me getting faster thx Dave
@@davidvarney7353 sorry for the late response. I would say that if you were just doing it to sharpen your wife’s blades, you’re fine with the machine you have. Having the arms on there greatly reduces the learning curve for doing clipper blades. It takes a while to learn how to do them freehand. As a matter of fact, I’m about to add new employees and I just bought an automatic Sharpener myself. If you do want to speed it up, though, you can do like I did an upgrade to a bigger motor...😁
Can you sharpen ceramic blades the same way?? What state are you in?? I'm in New York and need my clippers sharpened (instead of.buying new ones) for my Andis pro clippers with ceramic head... I was just gonna order a new clipper head that all metal as I know that can be sharpened.. what do you think ? Or could I mail this to you and get it done for less than $30 as it's only $28+ tax for a new head.. thank you in advance.. P.S. I looked up sharpening clipper blades and you popped right up.. I hope that helps your channel grow . 😊😊
Sorry I'm just now seeing this. ceramic blades can be sharpened. It’s a slightly different process. I do sharpen ceramic also. You’re welcome to send them to me. I’ll provide a link to my Mail and Sharpening page. Blade sharpening is eight dollars plus whatever shipping is. www.sharpedgesok.com/mail-in-sharpening-service
How important is it to wire brush your blades after sharpening on the wheel? I have been using the same sharpening guy for years and I always notice when using my Andis t-outliner they drag or won't cut thru fine hair. My guess is after he sharpens, he doesn't remove the burr from the blade.
Burr remove is very important. Anytime you sharpen anything a Burr is created. It's the excess metal from the sharpening process, and can significantly affect the cutting performance. Even causing the blade to not cut even though it is sharp.
Love this video. Thanks for sharing. I was looking on Amazon for that scale pen. I couldn’t find it. Any tips where I could find one? What’s the name of the company that made the one you have
I purchased a sharpening machine that was mounted in a wooden box. The machine has no marks on so I don’t know who manufactured it. The honing disk is 12 inches in diameter and has a 1/2 inch hole to mount on the motor and one set screw to hold it in place. The disk needs to be replaced. I said all this to ask if you could help me figure out where to get a new disk? Thank you. I would send pictures but I don’t see any way in comments.
@@sharpedgesok thank you for your reply I do not know how to proceed and would like to learn how to do clipper blades for my grandchildren and maybe for the public at the shows
@@sharpedgesok He said hello friend. I want to buy a Sharon blade spring forming jig, do you know someone who sells it in your country, he lives in Brazil....
Sorry for the late response, YT doesn't notify me of new comments. the magnet is just to make it easier to hold the blade, some people don't use a magnet but I'm more comfortable using one. I use approx. 2 pounds of pressure.
@@queryads1000 I actually make them for myself. here is a link to the magnets i use. Just get some really strong glue or bonding compound to attach them to some wooden knobs that you can usually find at your local hobby store. www.magnet4less.com/neodymium-cup-magnets-w-m4-threaded-male-stud-5-8-inch
I'm not understanding how the disc being slightly domed affects the grind of the blade? I get that the blade needs to be ground a certain way to correctly cut, but I don't get how that machine is achieving that result. Do you have any insights or resources for me?
Sorry for the late response, here are a couple of videos from someone a lot more familiar with the science behind it all. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D48os0Wdwos.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UuwO84NRSpg.html
