Have you ever used the tsprof KO3, if you have how would you compair the beveltech to it and versatility? Can you use other brands of stone like ATOM or Venu stones?

@HonedByJones 14 сағат бұрын

I’ve never used a TSPROF system… I think I’ve seen one in person and felt how it worked… but I don’t think I’ve ever actually sharpened a knife on one. If the stones are the “standard” 1”x6” stone then they can be used on the edge pro. I’m assuming you meant Atoma and Venev? If so, the answer is yes, they both make 1x6 stones that will work perfectly with the Edge Pro BevelTech.

My experience is that Cody at Edge Pro is really responsive to calls or emails. I would message them directly if you have questions about stones. EdgeProInc.com

Morning... I started out with the KME, and then the Work Sharp "Ken Onion" rig. Finally went for the KO-3 model by TSPROF - which I've only done a handful of blades and maybe three pairs of scissors on. I'm still learning as I go along. I find sharpening to be very therapeutic, gets my mind off things, etc. You've really got a nice shop set-up, I no longer have my shop and have been using my desk and hall area as my shop/work bench. I sure miss having my shop, but downsized several years ago. I considered the Edge Pro, and then the Hapstone before settling on my Master Kit. Enjoyed your presentation, that looks to be an excellent system. I like that it's manufactured here in America, too and I've heard many very good things about Edge Pro's customer service. Thanks, and take care...

I’m lucky. My sweetheart’s dad has always had huge workshops. His current one is as big as our house. So when I brought up to her taking over a 1/3rd of the garage it wasn’t looked at as being unusual. I think there are so many good systems now. They all have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Thanks, Warren! I live in a small town, and have been very frustrated with the farmers market organizers. They used to do them once a month but post Covid, they sporadically do them, and maybe only have four a year when the weather is nice in our desert town. I love the idea of going to a local grocery store or brewery and making your own schedule. Thanks for the great tips!

@HonedByJones 7 күн бұрын

Would it make sense to start your own Farmer’s Market? Manage it with a friend so you can still sharpen? Then you don’t have to wait on anyone. That’s why I like the pop ups too. They’re kind of a market of one - me. No fee to do a pop up either because I’m bringing extra business to the location. Anywho, best of luck to you and hopefully you’ll figure out what works best for you.

Not the wind, it is the lack of weighing the tents down properly as instructed to do. I have never had issues with tents, and I set up on the harbor of Port Washington in Wisconsin. I doubt there is stronger wind than there. All the vendors have tents, and we have no issues. But there are literally 5-gallon pails filled with concrete that some tents are bolted to. It takes more weight than most would think to properly secure tents. Nice video as always, thank you for sharing!

whit all the shapenning system you have for what kind of knife do you need the Edge Pro for ?

Versatility is the name of the game for me. Means I can say yes to a tremendous variety of blade types without having to worry about whether it will be convenient to do on a particular machine. Also, I really like doing scissors on the edge pro BevelTech so every pair that comes thru gets done with it. I’m gonna do 7 sets of upholstery scissors for a gentleman in his 90s who has been doing upholstery for 60 years next week. I’ll do ‘em all on the Beveltech.

@bwillan 16 күн бұрын

When would you use the BevelTech vs your belt grinder or any other powered sharpening system? Sharpening as a business is a volume game.

@HonedByJones 16 күн бұрын

I use the BevelTech on every pair of scissors as well as on knives that I don’t feel comfortable putting on a powered system for whatever reason. Could be handle or bolster shape issues. Could be because the customer asked me to sharpen it by hand and so I’m charging them extra for that. There are so many different types of blades that I’m not an advocate for only having one system. I like having versatility.

I had to customize the platen. I unfortunately didn’t make a video. 1. Measured the width I needed the platen to be to fit the angle guide. 2. Used a marker and a ruler to draw out how I needed the platen to be modified. 3. Pulled out my angle grinder with a cutoff wheel on it and cut the platen down to size. 4. Slid angle guide onto the newly modified platen.
