- In this video I show how to re grind using my static belt sander. I made a simple jig to set the grind at 25 degrees and re ground a couple of decent make chisels that had been abused - they were actually in the corner of a garage for scrapping.

*This is exactly what I needed for trimming the edge of oak boards **MyBest.Tools** I also used the disk to round edges while building an oak - walnut cabinet.*
Brilliant jig!! I can't finish this video to make one fast enough, thanks brother
You made it look really easy & handy...a simple jig does the job.
I tried this a few weeks ago, never saw a video before, got some more hints here. Thanks!
Cool sharpening is one of the things I need to learn more about thanks for the tips.
My old lecturer used to stay if you can't shave with it then its not sharp enough. Good video
I'm going to make this Jig. Very great idea Thank you
brilliant video, learnt quite a bit here, thankyou!
Man you make life simple! Thanks.
+bongie67 I try my best ;)
Now, thats how a REAL man shave, wiht a chisel. Happy New year. Really enjoying your videos how to maintain airguns. Cheers from Sweden.
What a great idea! I am building a jig!
Thank you for an informative tutorial on easy chisel sharpening. I went out to the shed and tried this AND IT WORKS! I modified your method and took the chisel straight to the polishing wheel on the bench grinder with polishing compound after the belt sander. Brings the chisel up razor sharp.
Next step is to make the jig so I don’t have to keep checking the angle.
By the way, using you belt sander flattens uneven oil stones too. Be prepared to ditch the belt after, but that’s cheaper than a new stone.
Blow out your sander with compressed air afterward as the stone dust will trash your bearings.
nice job and an extra thumbs up for using the oilstone I've been using oilstones for over 40 years got some stonkling washita stones and charnley forest. I do have diamond plates but prefer my oilstones. I search the boot sales for old joiners tools saws planes chisels oilstones . just completed my set of marples boxwood handled bevel edged chisel set from 2" to 1/6" . have a lot of very good quality tools for little outlay . please keep up the very good work . PS also have a tx200 and a bsa lighting xl.
Wow, I haven't seen anyone use that hand strop method since my grandfather showed me how to remove the burr off plane irons, fifty years ago! As for the belt sander? Got to be really careful about the heat, very easy to burn the edge.
Yeah my Dad in his mid 70’s said you don’t need to bother with a strop use your palm. No scary sharp system for him one oil stone and that was it in his days. None of this sharpening on 10’000 grit water stones
A Shaving Sharp Production :-))) Great Work!!!
+Mark Anthony Stringfellow thank you sir. I am very pleased with the results. Plane blades next :)
shootingatdawn Exellent, ive Still got Some of My Grandads old Plainers in the Shed, with the old school Stanley blades possibly a Bailey no 4 but heres a nice old school pic of the 10 1/2 Sheffield England:-))) www.picclickimg.com/d/w1600/pict/322517643387_/Boxed-Stanley-No10-1-2-Carriage-Makers-Rabbet-Plane.jpg
Like the wording of your explanations what you are demonstrating appears foolproof and simple, which, while it might be so for yourself, is definitely not so for the average Joe. I started sharpening iron blades and chisels on primitive water stones long time ago and did it better than the men who showed me how to sharpen, without understanding how or why I was able to do it as well as I was rated. To me it was all the way I felt about it. You were explaining it so very simply as to make it seem that anyone can repeat what you were doing. They cannot. By the way the cutting sound of your chiesel did not sound as if it were as sharp as you could have made it. You are very good and modest, and I appreciate your video.
very nice.. great idea, think ill make one.. thanks
Good idea mate... I’ll suggest you add some pieces of timber to the sides of the jig that will continue down the side if the belt sander either side to keep it centred and stop it from moving around. A leather strop with some polishing compound is the best way to remove the burr for a superior edge too, and safer for any novice learning rather than the ol’ palm trick 👍🏽
I thinking about buying one of them bench sanders👍
Great stuff, thanks.
great vid just got a clarke 4" belt sander for knives only to realise its no good for purpose as you have those shoulders which stops you grinding to the handle, but thanks to youtube saw a vid that shows flattening of wetstones on it and your great little jig for chisels, guess there will be some more stuff to find, as an old godger its never too late to learn new stuff thankyou
can you show a photo of the other side of the belt sander "stop" mine is long gone and I want to make one.
You could put a guide on your jig to keep it at 90°. Great video! I take great delight in restoring knackered chisels from a car boot sale.
To keep it square, I clamp the jig to the sanding guide on the machine. To keep the chisel at 90 degrees to the surface, I use the sides off the jig. It's pretty easy to use. I also get a bit of a kick from restoring good quality chisels that other folks are ready for throwing away :)
Ive sharpened on belt sander using honing guide
Good video I've been needing one that looks simple enough. Where did you the oil stone and what grit is it? The sanding belt you're using what grit is it?
The belt grit I used for this was 120. The oilstone was an old one I picked up cheap that had been been worn so it was no longer flat in the middle. I used grinding paste , a sheet of glass and some effort to get it flat again.
@@shootingatdawn Thanks
Will a belt sander be ok, if it can be inverted on a work bench ? What grit size on the belt eg 130 grit ? Thanks.
I would imagine that a belt sander might do it but I have never tried it so cant say for sure. That grit will be fine.
HI GREAT VIDEO WHAT GRADE BELT NEEDED FOR SHARPENING
I re grind the chisel using the belt sander. For sharpening I use an oil stone. Grit doesn't really matter but not coarse. Medium or fine grit for a nice finish.
Try clamping your jig in place. Half the time taken getting to the point!
What grit paper do you use on the sander please
james partridge
120, 150 , 220 or anything higher would do just fine
The sand belt just bevel the chisel
Heh heh no more hairy hands. Oops ahh yeah well that's the bone inside my hand and ohh there's the blood. Next tutorial how to bandage a hairless hand👍
your chisel should be ground to 25 deg to the back of the chisel not the front,, you didn't take into consideration that chisels are tapered at the front face so back and front are not parallel.
Well , while it might not suit someone who is creating fine crafted woodwork and takes an extreme and pedantic approach to their sharpening. it is perfectly adequate for allowing for regrinding and sharpening of blades for the hobbyist. These blades are extremely sharp and work beautifully. Most people do not have access to horizontal grinders, professional jigs or tormek machines etc. This method gives people a cheap and easy way to regrind and sharpen blades to a perfectly good standard.
@@shootingatdawn hi there, yes i understand, i use a belt sander also with almost the same system, i made a similar jig to yours but with mine the chisel is guided from the bottom side of my 25 deg board referencing on the back of the chisel, my jig is a little higher and leaves all chisels with the same angle,, keep up the good work, thanks for the videos, Stay Safe..
@Kieran good point, but this issue occurs literally on all sharpening jig where front is the reference surface (to the jig), i use the eclipse...
Literally 7 out of 10 of my chisels are tapered...
AB
@@attilabori4734 the 25 deg is not really hypocritical for most of us if you hone your secondary bevel to say 30 deg to help retain your edge, after all that's the edge your cutting with,, thanks and keep up the good work..
@@kierannolan8859 thanks for replying...
The jig you mentioned (the one you use) is it for the belt running horizontal or vertical?
I do like the the jig in the video , with little changes on its fixture (to the frame) and some added finger-protection on mine..
Kindest regards A
I like the jig, but I would not recommend anyone use their hand as a strop .
PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR DISTORTION SYSTEM**DR KEL
That’s ridiculous. You need to spend at least a thousand pounds to get anywhere near razor sharp. Try it. Mortgage your house and get a Tormeck. Then you won’t look back ... or sideways ever again.
That's not sharp. If you were to do that with mine you would be going to the emergency room.
Yikes, your sharpening demo of scrapping your hand, that’s not a sharp chisel 🥺
If I did that with my chisels I would be down to the bone within seconds
Good video but in reality you didn't make the chisel sharp with a belt sander you used the old sharpening stone; all the belt sander did was grind the blade to the correct angle.Nevertheless well done.
very nice.. great idea, think ill make one.. thanks

+chris birkitt nice one. Decent chisel are Marples. Hold a nice edge :)
