Remember to lubricate the roller. Mine got seized up and stopped rolling and gain multiple facets.
YES!!!!!!
I love mine , makes my sharping perfect 😊
Your tuition is very good.
Thanks
Learned something new today!
Good!! I'm glad!!
Awesome and very helpful video, thank you! 😎
Glad it helped! Thank you!
Great video tutorial fella 😎
Thanks for the video! Do you know the distance between the marks on the blade carrier at 3:04 are measureed at? Seems like the 1" and 2" marks are pretty close together.
It is 1 and 2 but not 1" and 2". They have the marks set for the iron width so it centers it in the jig. Thay is just a reference so you know put it here for a 2" iron. Hope that helps!
Your tool videos are amazing. You should do some more build videos on your channel.
Thank you!! I plan to this summer. I just keep having tools fall in my lap for reviews that I can't pass up. Lol but builds for sure! I miss making things haha
Shop tour? Or plane collection video!?
Thats on the list :) Have a few videos in front of it tho
Have you ever heard of Nano Hone Sharp Skate? I found the site by accident, but it is from a company that was started by a guy that worked at Shapton USA. The Sharp Skate looks different. I wonder how well it works.
Never heard of them but I looked that up and it seems pretty cool! I would be interested to try it, I'll add it to my list! Thank you!
@@BatCaveCreations The whetstones look intere$ting too. I wonder how the 1 micron compares to the Shapton 12,000. Edit: Or maybe the diamond resin plates. Hmmm
@SaintFredrocks yes they do!!! I am so behind on videos right now thay it's gonna be a while but I do have a test like that in the works!
You have a link for that jig? Looks good.
No Lee Valey doesn't do affiliate links :(
My MK 2 honing guide had a bad roller that caused it to cut a crooked bevel: they sent me a new one.
Their customer service rocks!
Some folks should take a breathalyzer test before sharpening. If they fail it, then they should not be allowed to complain about un-square blade edges. 🍷🍻🍸🍺🥂🍾
Hahaha valid! No booze in the shop!
One additional note; if you use the secondary bevel knob, be aware that it only lifts one side of the roller, so if you're relying on the roller, things aren't going to be square -- concentrate on your pressure on the blade, basically.
Are you referring to the micro-bevel knob? Because it offsets the entire roller on an eccentric axle, not just one side. I use it all the time and the micro-bevels are always perfectly square and even across the width of the iron. Or maybe I'm just completely misunderstanding you.
Sorry Allan I have to agree with @Wintermutt here. It shifts the entire roller not one side. You may notice that the micro bevel isn't a perfect line all the way accross. It will ether catch up with itself or things aren't dead square
@@BatCaveCreations Interesting. Back when I bought mine, it seemed that everyone had that the issue that I described with the micro-bevel, and that was the received wisdom as to the reason. I chalked it up to a learning experience, moved on to the L-N honing guide, and pretty much never considered Lee Valley as an option again in my tool purchasing. Any no, this is not the Mandela effect, I can look through the forums that talked about the issue at the time, and still find those discussions. Starting to wonder if we were all just dealing with a bad batch or something. Will have to find where mine is and look at it more closely.
oooh that would be a horrible choice on Veritas to make it so the entire roller doesn't move. I am going to reach out to my Veritas contact and see what they say!
Our contact stated this is a myth they are aware of. He stated: "The axel in the roller is off center, so when you change the knob the entire wheel shifts. its eccentric. The parallelism is maintained when you adjust the knob." / I asked if past models were different and he stated nope, the wheel mechanism has changed but it's always maintained parallelism.
Bevel down bevel down bevel down???
I'm sorry? I don't understand
