Thanks! No reason in particular. I like to run wheels up and away so it wouldn't be ideal for me going the other direction. All my wheels are on separate machines with better clearance. The Bucktool with a deburring wheel would make an excellent all-in-one machine though.
Awesome setup! Quick questions. How do you run the power in the van? Vehicles DC? Solar, batteries? And I have some high-end knives (ZT's, Spyderco, hinderer, etc) I always struggle sharpening with manual sharpeners like lansky and the likes. I have a 1x30 angle grinder and it looks do-able. What's your take? No worries! No blames to you if I screw them up!👍
Thank you. I run everything off a 100Ah battery and a 4000W power inverter. It's also hooked up to the van's starter battery with a split charge relay so it charges the other battery whenever the van is running. There is some more detail about this in my Van Tour video which you can find on my channel. I sharpen lots of nice EDC/pocket knives on 1x30 sanders. It's totally doable but easy to mess up so make sure you get plenty of practice on cheap knives first.
I'd say go for the same angle. Too much angle will remove the burr quickly but round the edge. Too little angle and you are just polishing the bevel without removing the burr. It's a balance. In my experience as long as you're close to the same angle and using good technique (light pressure, alternating passes with compound) it's actually pretty forgiving.
@@alsmobilesharpening I sharpen up to 1200 grit and it’s so tough to even see a burr when I go that fine. How do I know when the burr is removed when I go that high?
@@vinnym5095 Feel the edge with your fingers on each side, if a burr is present one side should have slightly more roughness to it. Another way is to test cut on paper. If there's a burr it will feel rough and have more of a tearing sound.
Very well explained. I do a lot of sharpening on my 1X30 as well and if you have a bit of experience and know to be consistent, you can get a SCARY sharp edge in less than a couple minutes. Then go to strop like you did and it will cut like butter. You explained everything very well for people still learning and showing close ups of the burr and the stropping was nice too.
I think this will be the subject of the next video. There's a lot to say. I use the edge of a sanding belt or a convex diamond wheel depending on the type of serrations. Video coming soon.
Nice work. Thanks for posting…
Great video! I noticed you removed the grinding wheel on the Buck tool. Just wondering, any particular reason?

Young man you don’t boast of being very experienced or the best, but you sure fooled me. You did one heck of a job. Keep doing what you’re doing.👍🏻
Much appreciated sir, that means a lot.
Check out Grizzly 1 x 30 variable speed belt sander, around $150.00. 😎👍
Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and maybe getting a dialogue going.
I always say light is your friend when sharpening. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated!

Great video - thanks for posting this, you made identifying the burr really visible.
Makes sense. Always do edge leading but will give it a try the other way around 🎉
I would love to see a van tour
I'll be happy to do that. Coming soon.
Your a good teacher
If you’re sharpening at ‘X’ degree let’s say 17°, are you keeping the same angle when you deburr or a different angle?
I'd say go for the same angle. Too much angle will remove the burr quickly but round the edge. Too little angle and you are just polishing the bevel without removing the burr. It's a balance.

❤ Sou Brasileiro e amei este vídeo. Me ensinou muito. Mesmo sem falar inglês. Gratidão amigo!
Muito obrigado senhor, estou muito feliz que o vídeo tenha sido útil!
Man, this is the best sharpening video I have ever watched. Congratulations from Brazil.
Thank you so much. More videos will come.
It's very interesting what you do. Could you show the device where you rest the knife to sharpen?
If you mean the angle guide for edge leading, it's this one: a.co/d/9qe7B0Z
I will be making a video showing this method very soon.
@@alsmobilesharpening Thank you so much!!!!! what you do is very good
How do you sharpen sereded knives.
Thank you for answering

You have a serration wheel with the sewing machine motor? You use that?
Yes, I use it constantly for bread knives. Deburring them is the tricky part. I'll plan a video on that too.
