Sharpening Van Equipment Tour May 2019 

This is a great setup - cheers to all the hard work involved in this project

Parabéns amigo, muito boa a montagem da sua Van

Awesome setup!. Cant wait to see what you have coming up

Sweet little setup brother.

super kewl Cliff........i have been looking all this week at vans myself, mine will not be as elaborate as your, just for farmers market set up gear......that is the plan anyway......been looking at Nissan NV200........standing by for more - see you soon

Congratulations on your new mobile sharpening service Cliff !

Thats a beautiful set up....fantastic honestly man..want to do what your doing.

Legit bro!! Thanks for sharing that's amazing

Sweet set up Cliff

You are one handy fella! 👍🏻👊🏻

Good job and thank you.

The problem that your not able to make videos for us, due to you being busy (and making money I hope) is a good problem to have. I need to stop being lazy and go back thru your videos on doing a motor swap or just making a custom 1x30 and setting up my shop.

That van looks great.

That is really cool! Is it a regular transit connect or Did you make the floor lower or the roof higher ? because it seems like you have good space siting down

I like your whole approach and the light revealing the little line of the burr so clearly then its being done away with in the video where you showing your son was a real aha moment for me. I am fascinated by the sewing machine motor adaptations, both Consew and Enduro. Which makes an easier refit to either Viel or HF? Which do you like better? You say the Enduro was not practical, but unless it was a bear to do I wonder why? Seems ingenious. Rix from Houston

Hi Cliff, I was wondering what you use as a power supply for your equipment in the van.

That is really interesting what you did w the little viel machine and the sewing machine motor. I would love to see a vid on that. How do you like it compared to a Harbor Freight chassis w trued wheels?

wow very nice Van

Nice video! How do control the metal shavings and any dust?

Great set up! Any tips on the inverter and battery installation stuff?

!!! You must have 200 hours into that van, and it looks fantastic. Moving on to the Viel, which you didn't spend enough air time on, where did that base come from? It looks like you cut off the motor base that is part of the stock Viel...? I might have to build that. I imagine that the Consew motor maintains full power across a wider rpm range...? Can the angle gauge fit on it? What do you think of it? I wonder if the Consew would work on the HF frame. That might be a world beater. Would the Consew motor fit on the HF???? I think that's what I want to build, but would the Consew fit?

Awesome van

How do you power everything? Gas generator or auxiliary batteries/solar?

Very cool bro!

Big investment of time and money, but you are "ready to roll" literally. Do you use a generator or an inverter ? Anyway, great set up, there's not much you can't handle by the looks of it, to me

Great video, what are your thoughts on tormek machines? Besides expense.

Love the van, are you using shore power to power or battery's? Or both?

Recently got a couple HF 1x30 belt sanders . 800 grit on 1 & a leather belt on the other ( what is the finest grit you recommend ? ) . I bought a variable speed control for them , but they don't do very well imo . I have a dozen or so fixed angle hand sharpeners and recommend anybody wanting to go to the next level to get a couple 1x30 belt sanders .

Your van set up its great, I would like to show you my vans set up, Im in California where are you at?

Cliff, what model van is that? I see it's a Ford Transit XLT, but is it the smaller 4 cylinder version or the larger Sprinter size one?

Olá amigo só do Brasil gostaria de compra uma maquina dessas sua poderia mim manda link do produtor por favor

Hi , what is your take on the point between a " toothy edge " vs a more polished edge performs better ? I mostly only sharpen for myself and am trying to get my knife to where it " tree tops " . I've been able to get part of the blade to tree top a few hairs. Thanks for any advice or advice from other readers 👍

Good Video

How many blades can you sharpen in an hour with this setup?

What is that wheel on the back side of the viel machine? Silver adjuster wheel of some sort?? The veil angle guidebis way better than the Surgi Sharp thing. But the tracking knob on the HF is easier than the Viel tracking. Do you prefer little red or the viel machine?

What is that box w the big aluminum disk on top below the clipping of that girl??

Impressive

How tall are you? I’m 6’5” and always worry about clearance

What do you have on the cardboard wheel? That is just something you made from boxes or something? I have a razorsharp stropping wheel i use to strop but boy did it ever take a huge amount of labor to true!

What grit do you recommend for fillet knives slicing through fish skin? I purchased a stone from a company in the netherlands that trains filleters. It was 120/320, so I would think 400 should be about max for fillet knives, do you agree? Then the hard part is removing the 400 grit burr from a machine sharpened knife. Any tips?

I love the angle guide for the 1x30 but how do you get the angle for the 2x42?

What do you use to power it? Generator?

What’s your bench height? Thanks. Cuttingedge-sharp.com.
