    Thank you so much! The detailed commentary on the grinding wheel helped me understand what I do wrong when arriving to the tio of the blade🙏

    Thank you for yet another great video!
    I've been sharpening knives for many years, both free hand and guided. And I love watching these videos to pick up som new ideas. And it's great to see other sharpeners conferm some of my own theories and ideas about sharpening knives. I really want that thin jig for my T-8! I may have to save up for one.👍
    Thank you to both of you.

    Oh my goodness! I can stop buying Sloyd knives when they go dull and sharpen my own now! I have the Tormek set up (It's the older one like what's shown) but mine doesn't have that wheel. Wish me luck sir! I just subscribed and added your channel to my watchlist. Do you have a membership channel as well? Thank you again!

    Great! Can you explain why one doesn’t want a concave shape? And what about a flat grind with a secondary bevel?

    • @nicwestermann4206
      @nicwestermann4206 4 місяці тому +2

      A full concave is very aggressive, it will tend to dig in as the edge is tipped into the wood by the back of the concave grind. A secondary bevel is sort of the opportunity site scenario , the flat grindl provides no guide or support so you have to tip into the edge to find the biting point, useful for some cuts but not so good for smoothing or planing cuts.

    @simonbarnard1861 4 місяці тому +1

    Great video - would a 6” CBN wheel be appropriate for putting the hollow in or is this too much of a radius? (I have the tormek bench grinder set up so would still be using jigs etc)

    • @nicwestermann4206
      @nicwestermann4206 4 місяці тому +2

      An 8" wheel is certainly ok, 6" is going to leave rather deep hollow but I guess it would work as well, if you are doing rough work then to reduce the likelihood of damaging the edge ( as there's less steel supporting it even at the same edge angle) you might need to use a slightly thicker tramline to start with, however as the hollow is deeper it should still last as long or longer.

    A very welcome set of videos with Nic, thanks Zed. One quick question, if I were to invest in a diamond wheel to replace my stone 250, what grade would you recommend? My instinct would be a course….

    • @nicwestermann4206
      @nicwestermann4206 4 місяці тому

      Yes coarse, you aren't actually forming the edge, just making clearance for the flats over hollow, the scratch pattern really isn't that important.
