Jack Dawg no need to re wire, all I did was unscrew the base and spin it around. If you reverse the motor as it is, you will have trouble keeping the nuts tight.

And it just depends on whether you want to sharpen over the wheel or under. Some vids the guys are under the axis, so spinning forward is ok, then, since it's running away from the knife underneath...

turn over memove base replace base backwards now it runs the other way AWAY from you!!

Running it with the wheels coming toward you is a really good way to get badly injured...

@@FirePantsFabrication grinders spin the opposite way 'round backwards in Australia... Coriolis Effect.

Thank you. I was useless at sharpening until that was explained to me.

Jeff Roberts yes I agree too

Thank you from Canada, too.!! Your sketch and explanation of the burr edge was a quantum leap for me.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks

Where did you buy it? Thanks

Thank you very much!

Thank you

They sure are. blade up or down is just personal preference, whichever is more comfortable / controllable for you.

Fire Pants Fabrication do you sell this sharpeners? Thanks

Fire Pants Fabrication blade down

Will Matthews that's pretty much all they are.

800 -3000 wet stone is what i use, all good for my need. But im curious to test what a sandpaper can do

Hi i wonder why they usually don't mention the precise grit Coarse is ok but how much coarse? I am just starting using abrasive pastes in sticks and i would like to see numbers not adjectives Its very confusing. Do you say that there's a color coding standard? Where i can find it? Thanks a lot Gino

that is true. But for $85 it is much easier when I'm not set up for wood work.

Thanks

I am holding it at the angle of the edge.

Nice

Lee Waugh About 30-degrees angle.

I don't know who sells them here anymore, but the MDF will work just fine on a better grinder.

Can also find a similar product called... slicing edge sharpening system "charlies wheel of fortune". Cutting edge Knives in Australia sell them for $61.62. Cheapest one ive found in Australia. Plus they sell reconditioning kits for the wheels as well.

Razor Sharp wheels have become so expensive that now I make my own paper wheels. 17 plys of .046 chip board, turn and flop every other ply (approx 3/4" thick). Laminate with Elmers' glue and clamp for a day. Paper is superior to MDF for sharpening and honing. Use the Elmers' glue on the smooth wheel to coat with 180 grit black silicone carbide grit. Use purified bees' wax on the sharpening wheel (almost clear contains no honey) to keep the blade cool while sharpening. Make equal number of passes on each side of the knife unless it's a knife that is flat on the back side. Use Sattex CORO-6 white rouge from Maverick abrasives on the slotted wheel to remove the burr and hone and polish the edge. No strop necessary. I also run my Baldor 111 buffer the conventional direction. I've sharpened thousands of knives this way in the past 15 years. Fast and gives great results, even satisfying my picky Asian chefs. Always be in motion when you contact the wheel. Charlies' wheels are junk, don't bother.

Just have some cnc place cut some wheels out of MDF and you're done.

Christopher Cline you should make some to sell!!

It's just a bench grinder, with MDF wheels.

I have the same question.

The wheels on the grinder are made from paper, the first one is loaded with a diamond grit, the second gets a bit of rouge to polish the edge.

The point was never what paper wheel/where paper wheels can be bought, but explain how to use them...

MDF

@@FirePantsFabrication nisam vas razumeo sta znaci skracenica MDF? Ako moze malo detaljnije objasnjenje. Hvala unapred!

@@FirePantsFabrication If you can give a better explanation of what MDF is, what kind of wheel is it made of, how can the horse manufacturer find it in order to move it? Thanks in advance

@@jordanpoposki1081 Its medium density fiberboard, I don't know how else to describe it.

sure

Ill pass thanks. These wheels are very dull, you'll get a friction burn if you touch them. Secondly, if it had guards, and you were sharpening something small, you risk having it getting sucked into the guard, and thtown back right into you. Lastly, these wheels are oversized (for clearance over the motor) and the OEM gards do not fit.

where do I get this paper wheels??

Mate did you manage to find where the parts come from?

Learning takes time

I used mdf and made 2 wheels, and they're awesome. and inexpensive. I put 220 grit sandpaper on one of them, and cork on the other one.. I charged the cork with white polishing compound and it works great.

@@7Spankster7 Thanks. Did you glue the sandpaper to the wheel?

if you have the means, go for it. I would too.

random glossy magazine paper. A dull blade will never catch it. but yeah, kinda creepy.
