That’s a great addition to the lineup of attachments, I’d love to see a mower blade sharpening attachment sometime in the future! Great work 👍🏻

[@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks]

I thought you guys already did a video on the sharpener, but this one is much more detailed. Thanks! Love my mastery package. Glad I went with Ameribrade! I would love to see detailed videos on all of your attachments. The surface grinder was great also.

We've got several more videos coming down the line, so keep an eye out.

The sharpening attachment is well worth the purchase. Along with the Ameribrade 2x72" belt grinder saves a tremendous amount of time in the sharpening process.
Buy a leather strop for your grinder. Your sharpening process will be quick and simplified. Thanks guys for your great products and service.

I just got mine yesterday, and worked my way through it, but was glad to see this video this morning. Being the owner of a Tormek, it was fairly intuitive, but your tips will help me out today. I'd recommend people keep the speed down on the grinder both to slow the process a bit and keep the heat down as well.

Great video - I wish I had seen this earlier - it had several good tips. Thanks for making it.

[@ridehungry]

just ordered one !

[@AmeriBradeOfficial]

thanks for the order!

I love your presentations,

Would this work on the 2x48 grinder?

[@Platoface]

Looks easy enough. I know it is demonstration purpose but sure looks easy to take the temper out of the tip. (Im new to this game so if that is not the proper term someone please correct me). I imagine very little mass creates heat very quickly in the tip so quenching often between is key nearer the tip.

[@AmeriBradeOfficial]

absolutely. It is necessary to run the belt nice and slow and to not linger on the tip for very long. especially on really thin pointy tips.

I ordered a grinder with the knife sharpening attachent about one week ago. Thanks for this video. Are going to make a detailed knife sharpening video, too?

[@AmeriBradeOfficial]

Oh man. That's a deep topic buried in myth and opinion. We could give it a whack if we bring someone in to back us up

[@guitarzarfun]

Have you tried using this to do main grinds in knife making? looks like you could clamp the handle part and do main grinds pretty easy.

[@AmeriBradeOfficial]

Theoretically you could, but there are a couple things that make it not ideal. Main bevels should usually be at smaller angles than the clamp can do without hitting the belt. But, if you're hollow grinding, that helps because the wheel curves away from hitting the clamp.
The second thing is just how securely the clamp holds the blade. It's plenty secure for the light work of sharpening, but may end up moving a bit if you're doing heavy grinding. But, if you're careful, its possible to keep it in position.

[@Delozane]

What is the maximum size blade a jig like this would be able to handle? And it is only compatible with grinders that can run in reverse?

[@coffeeoutlaws7783]

curious could this even be used to grind bevels in a knife?

[@AmeriBradeOfficial]

theoretically, but there are some practical reasons that don't make it ideal. Most bevel angles on flat grinds are too shallow and would grind into the clamp itself. Hollow grinding could solve that problem with the correct size wheel since the wheel would curve away from hitting the clamp, but heavy grinding might shift the knife in the clamp. It holds strong enough for sharpening, but it isn't intended to hold that well.

Thanks

[@MrNicovdw]

do you sell the clamp handle set up alone too ?

[@AmeriBradeOfficial]

It isn't on the website, but we can handle it manually if you email us at [e-mail]

[@MrNicovdw]

roger that , do you ship outside the USa , to Belgium ? @@AmeriBradeOfficial

[@AmeriBradeOfficial]

@@MrNicovdw We can definitely do that. Duties and taxes will increase the shipping charges in additionto what we charge though.

[@robertmunguia250]

That 1.5 blade attachment will work with other grinders/sanders?

[@AmeriBradeOfficial]

absolutely! Most grinders have had success running this attachment.

[@robertmunguia250]

@@AmeriBradeOfficial how can I get a hitch receiver that would fit that?

[@AmeriBradeOfficial]

@@robertmunguia250 The attachment is for sale on ameribrade.com with the option for 1.5" or 2" accessory arms, but I might be missing something in your question. I'm sorry. I'm not sure what you mean by a hitch receiver. The grinder frame itself? What type of grinder do you have? You can call or email us if you want to have a more in-depth conversation too. [e-mail]

@@AmeriBradeOfficial ok I was talking about what is that jig going into?

[@robertmunguia250]

Will that jig work on the 2 by 48? Kamimura?

[@Jason315NY]

Do you make these for your 2x48”??

[@AmeriBradeOfficial]

Not yet, but we plan on making it soon.
