Introduction to Sharpening on a Belt Grinder
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2023
- Demonstrating basic knife sharpening on a belt grinder using 120, 240, and A30 grit belts finished with a felt belt with blue compound. As I stated in a previous video, don’t sweat exactly which number angle you are at, but remembering “the lesser quality steel, the greater the edge angle.” Also focusing on the consistency of the angle from belt to belt. I hope this also dispels the idea that edge trailing sharpening creates larger burrs that are difficult to remove.

Spot on practical sharpening. Love the video. I totally agree on the part of angles and being practical about it.
A great power sharpening lesson! Thanks for sharing Ryan!
My pleasure!
Great video!! Thank you for taking the time to make it!!!
Nice video, I've been to this shop many times, great selection, helpful staff. These guys have what you're looking for 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thank you for this amazing quality video
120, 240, 600, felt/blue ... great video, Thanks!
A30 is 800 grit
Thanks for the great video.
Informative and very well explained without wasting time.
Great video, Ryan! I wondered how you handled the knives I see all the time. Reassuring to see how close my process is to yours!
I learned a lot!
Spot on
Thanks Ryan, good video. Trying out those Klingspor's 👍
Havet watche the vid yet.. just needed to say how much I appreciate that your name is Swanson and you look like Ron Swanson...that is all.
Just found your channel. Enjoying your content ✨️
Well done
Right on with the burr. Not harder to remove edge trailing but it is noticeably bigger and maybe a little bit more work to remove for some people.
I’d like to know more about your grinders, and your rounded platons as well. Maybe a video? Please thank you.
Regarding your radius platten: What sort of radius do you think or thought your would use to allow you to work in those hollow grind areas. 24in radius, 30in radius, 36 in radius?
Ron, you mentioned the A30 for veggies. What do you recommend if the customer uses it for meat?
I see you are using a soft platen there. Does this help with vibration?
What is the backing you have created behind the belt?
Yes
Yep once you've done a few different knives and seen them come back between uses you get a feel on steels and what should get what. I agree, don't get hung up on numbers on average steel the fundamentals are far more important.
Exactly!
Nothing beats whetstones. 220 on a grinder then straight to whetstones.
Great video. May I ask what type of felt belt do you use and is it better than using leather belt?
I get this felt belt from Supergrit.com. I like them better than a leather belt because they don’t stretch, giving them longer life.
Do you apply more pressure on the deburr? Sounded like it. I know little, BTW.
Slightly more pressure to deburr, but only because you can.
Would a 1x42 or 2x42 be better for knives?
I noticed on another video, JimsSharp, that he had a training session with you. Do you hold classes, if so, can you share the details? I bought my first knife from you years ago and have followed ever since. Thanks, JAH
What belt grinder do you recommend for entry level?
How to compare leather stropping belts vs felt?
what brand of belt sanders are those. thanks.
Where can I get the felt belt and blue compound? 🤔
16.05 degrees per side thanks for the info ;-)
I’m trying to make the point with a little humor.
@@districtcutlery Yes I was attempting to validate your humor.
.
Great video, so informative. My question is why you use a different belt grinder for deburring and what brand machine do you use?
I also would like the brand of machine you use?
Norse BDSG2x6

What's between the belt and platen? Is it foam?
What rpm are your motors?
What grinder are you using ?
Hey cool video. What was the third belts name again? And Where do you get the felt belts and compound?
Felt belts are from Super Grit. Blue compound from Above shears
Where do you get your felt belts?
Wherecan I get one of those belt grinders?
so many of the other guys just grind and grind and grind
What would you do with high end Japanese Knives? most don't like them to be sharped with belts, thanks
We sharpen many Japanese knives on stones. But if there is damage in the blade, which is not uncommon, we use the belt grinder. We are very aware of watching the heat and use a gentle touch.
@@districtcutlery
Hello,
can you post the brand and type of the beltgrinders
THX in advance
Cheers 🇦🇹
( You're doing a 💯% really good job)
How fast is the belt running and do you have problems with overheating?
Heat comes mostly from using too much pressure when sharpening. A light touch and heat is not an issue, if you know what you’re doing.
Where do you get your belts from??
Great Video, whats on the plate of your belt grinder ?
Small radius platen I made. Reduces heat.
@@districtcutlery thank you, a Video about this ore how you thin on the belt grinder would be very interesting, your instagam has also very nice content
Where can I find a felt belt?
Hi Ryan, I was wondering what brand belt sanders you are using there?
Hi John! They are 2x42” from Grainger. They have the Dayton motors on them.
@@districtcutlery OK. Thanks. Gonna start up a knife sharpening service to add to the shear sharpening. Looks good.
I saw the shine
Hey man, what kind of belt grinder to you use, I see people using kalamazoo in the USA, I'm from Canada. Thanks for the video!. Cheers.
It's a 2x42 by palmgren. Just search for 2.42 and it's the main one.
@@districtcutlery Thanks man. Appreciate the info.
when on the felt, what angled you try and use?.......why blue.......? thanks
Leather belts stretch rather quickly whereas felt barely stretches at all
What is the machine your using?
2x42 from Grainger
What is the blue stuff? Where can we buy that?
Try Above Shears
What brand is the grinder ??
You've got an answer?
If you know the brand/type PLS post it.
Cheers 🇦🇹
