Got you! What a great idea! Learned something today! Keep up the good work! Thanks
I have been sharpening for some years now and have a fairly good handle on a couple of different methods plus a bunch of money invested in one of the more expensive sharpeners. In the last two days, I have learned a TON about belt sharpening from this channel and wish I had stumbled across this earlier. The speed with which you can obtain a good working edge is impressive!! Thanks for all your tutoring!
Love your videos, Cliff. Lots of practical tips and very practical demos. Much appreciated. My Rikon 50-161 VS arrives in 2 sleeps😊
I like how you’re using the sander positioned..very nice
Thanks 👍
I do everything the same way, same tools etc. I am a retired electronic tech and I don’t enjoy getting shocked so I have a wrist ground strap & wire attached to the ground point on my sander. I attach the ground to the blade handles or other metal objects I am working with when possible to prevent static shock. It helps.
Technically, that knife was a santoku before it was broken. Santoku's generally have a bit of a rounded belly and don't usually have much a point at the tip. It is now kind of a santoku/chef's knife hybrid. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Very nice work refinishing the surface. I have re-ground several broken knives on a regular bench grinder, and I have GOT to get me one of these. Love the box idea.
Thanks Cliff for your advice on the variable speed motor set up.
I love the router speed control, and the 90 degree tilt box.... Never thought of the!! Now I got to make a box!! Personally, I would not have removed the back curvature... It is good for rocking cutting of vegetables... Like cooks knives. PS - I like to use the top part of the belt that is unsupported by the steel backing. It is more forgiving with amount of pressure you put on the belt..
Thank you so much for sharing..i really enjoyed this and I’ve enjoyed speaking with you!! Your work is amazing!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Nice work, i like doing this kind of work also in my home shop.
Awesome!!!
ALOHA 🤙🤙🤙
Learning alot from your videos. You really show that you can do a lot with a 1x36 grinder.
Glad you like them!
I am interested in knowing where I get an angle guide for my machine, very informative video
Hello ALOA Cliff
Thank you for all the hard work of informing us and our common passion that you transmit via your channel. I know that making a video and editing it takes a lot of time.
Could you occasionally make a video of sharpening large kitchen knives 35 cm long 12inch to 15 inch on the port or long thin flexible fillet knife. Thanks again for your informative channel.
Just bought a 1x30. Did you make some of these belts like the leather/felt ones? It'd be awesome to know how since I have a bunch of diamond compounds I could use to get an extremely polished ~15000 grit edge.
At 28:47 in the video you have an angle guide for the bevel set at 15 degrees did you buy it or make, I would like to get one.
Nice job 👍👍👍👍
When I'm sharpening on a 1by30 Central not not touching the machine just sending the knife I get static electricity from it would you know what's causing it
Dry air tends to do that. Machine can act like a Van DeGraph generator.
Attach a wire to the platen(make sure it wont get tangled) then send that wire to green earth ground has had good results
I am very interested in where you bought you speed reducer and what the cost was. Thank you.
Cliff were can i find that info on the speed reducer?
Where did you get the speed controller
Great demo with very useful tips . may u ask what is that speed controller that you attached to the B grinder ? Thanks in advance .
He has a couple a videos discussing the motor adaptations.
If you did 800 or 1000 grit belt would you still need to strop it or use the diamond paste?
somehow i missed the video - found it this morning........i like it
Sad thing, there is some good information IMHO back in here but the lack of good lighting, sound quality, and video length too damn long make it so many people wont get it.
@@theIndoCurrys This video is for the true believers. 😲✌
i need that motor on t5hat sander lol is it for sale?
Would it help at all when blade feels warm/hot to place it in an ice bath or is a sponge or towel just wet good enough? Nice walk through on sharpening and repairing the knife.
Use a bucket with room temp water, never ice water.
Also use the coarsest belt you can buy
Did you create your own 'angle guide'? That 15degree?
Hi did you make your angle sharpening jig, or did you buy it ? I don’t have a Harbor Freight grinder i have a Clarke 1x30 but they look very similar! 👍
They are available around I have them for sale on my website:
www.currycustomcutlery.com/products
Great video 👍🏽 Does the angle guide come with the sander?
angle guide available from several places including our website at:
shop.currycustomcutlery.com
Good job on the video. The scope shots were nice. I'm kind of new to sharpening (trying to get my salmon knife up to speed), one thing that wasn't clear to me in your presentation is when were you rotating the belt away from the blade (stropping?) & when was it going towards the blade (sharpening?)
Edge trailing(away from blade) must always be used for stropping and scotch brite belts...sharpening can be done either edge leading or trailing...Hope that helps, I just re-watched this video and its a bit long and confusing.
where to get that variable speed box?
Its an aftermarket variable speed DC motor with controller. Also industrial sewing machine motors work. Either way some modifications are needed. Mounting holes need to be drilling in the frame and the drive wheel needs bored out.
Love the video!! Hey on your 1x30 did you upgrade the motor or how did you make it a variable speed? I have 2 of these grinders and love them since I’m a beginner knife maker and can’t afford the big 2x72 right now so was just asking whoever I can for some info on how to make my 1x30s better than they already are! Please and thank you for a response?
I have a wheel upgrade kit that works with a sewing machine motor so you can bolt together.

Could you remove light scratches with the scotch brute ? And what size grit of scotch brite?
You can to a small extent. Anything more then very light scratches and the scotch brite wont remove them, what scotch brite does do well is take an old dull blade and make it look shiny again. A combo of sandpaper and a final buff with scotch brite works great.
Where did you get the speed controller?
Sadly Denns the speed controller and motor are no longer available. Never got to really share it with the world
But, you gotta do the extra steps. That's the fun
Nice video. for your consideration >> At 16:00 you comment about setting the angle on your jig at 15 (dps I assume). So 15 + Primary Bevel angle = dps of secondaries. It appears that in your videos that you reference that you angle guide setting is the same as the resultant dps edge bevel, without consideration that you are placing primary bevel on your guide.
Yes. Some knives have a natural flat that can be sharpened from, and some have a 1-2 degree primary bevel to sharpen from. The overall inclusive DPS(degree per side) measured from center line of knife would be the sum of the primary and the secondary angle. I dont mention it for easy of use. You sound like a Wicked Edge user? :-)
Yes, I understand some knives have a "natural flat" (example Saber Grind - High or Low Saber Grind). My comment, however, was specific to the knife in your video and other vid's you have posted where you are placing primary bevel on your guide (would be same situation with a High Saber on that guide you are using).
RE: your reference to primary bevels at one to two degrees, I find most I sharpen are at 3-5 dps or greater, and 11-13 on Scandi Grinds.
Why would you assume I use a Wicked Edge ... I do not ;-)
My comments are meant in a positive meaningful way, as simply a suggestion for you to consider. I find many people really just don't consider what they are doing when they talk about angles and sharpening.
I like your videos (especially with regard to what appears to be a DC Motor Mod & Variable Power Supply) and had hoped to contribute to you in a positive manner.
I use variable A/C belt grinder for larger work, and also a customised Edge Pro type system for flat bevels and secondary transitional bevels for controlled convexing or multi-beveling secondaries.
All good I didnt take your comments in anything but a constructive manner. :-)
When I was "training" on my Wicked Edge, the people there are very scientific and comments such as this would come up often. Tolerance, variance, 10ths of degrees of angles, etc. Very precise calculations...I can mention it for others in a video as it is an important detail Ive never bothered to address so thank you very much!
For a similar kitchen knife with a full primary grind from spine to edge bevel the inclusive angle I just measured was 2.05 degrees, or 1.025(lets call it 1) degrees per side. If a true 15dps was critical Id adjust the angle guide down by 1 degree.
For ease of reference and repeatably when sharpening various items I just keep the jig/guide at 15 and call it 15, knowing in my mind that the actual measured 2nd bevel angle will be a fraction off but close to that.
+Gravity Roller I have noticed that when I cut tomatoes with a knife sharpened at exactly 15 dps they taste real good, but if I prepare a salad with tomatoes cut with a knife sharpened at 15 dps +primary bevel, that is 15+1.025=16.025 dps the tomatoes taste awful and I have to discard the salad away. 😁✌
Tape your handle so you don't scuff it
Hello friend, could you tell me where I can buy this machine that you are using I am here in Brazil!!
Look for 1x30 sander or convert or convert to metric 25mm x 984mm
Cliff. Is there a reason you didn’t just hack saw most of that off in the beginning?
More then one way to do it for sure but sawing thru tempered knife steel isnt on my preferred list.
That's a huge amount of material to sand off. Why not cut it off with an angle grinder?
Angle grinder would completely ruin the temper for real of whereever it cut...It was a big re-profile for sure but that is how I chose to do it. Aloha
Curry Custom Cutlery I see.
In your opinion, What's the best angle to grind a kitchen knife ?
Simple question and Ill give an easy answer. I sharpen at 15°
@@CurryCustomCutlery Thank you
I probably would have drilled holes in a line and break off the excess broken blade.
Just bought this machine from Harbor Freight. Can you tell me which sanding belts I have to buy to sharpen kitchen knives. Thanks
I'd start by checking out my latest belt review video. Seriously, not a plug, just has all the info on every belt out there n where to get.
How goes the sander work? Thinking about getting one myself
Hey Cliff, I'm about to get a 1x30 but have zero experience so will be checking all your vids. That angle jig is that something you made or are readily available to buy?
Angle guides available on our webstore along with a full line up of excellent belt products.

I'm stumped here.. have you reversed the machine so that you're actually sharpening edge trailing? I thought sharpening edge-leading on a belt was dangerous?
There is alot of mis information that gets repeated out there. In general edge leading is dangerous and should never sharpen with belt moving towards you for sure.
But when using an angle guide of this type is removes the danger and allows for a very accurate method of sharpening.
Soft belts like leather, felt or scotch brite still always need to be used edge trailing away.
@@theIndoCurrys Thanks for your reply! I was actually just watching another of your videos. So if you're convexing an edge, then you work edge-trailing?
I'm picking up a belt sander this week, hoping it'll be a game changer for markets. Spades and hedge clippers have really been eating my Tormek wheel quickly. And the bloody farrier's hoof knives...
So, despite finding that mound of metal shavings on the magnet, you STILL do this work without wearing safety glasses? Playing Russian Roulette with your eyes is not something to showcase on UA-cam.
Safety glasses are a must. I always wear glasses when sharpening. Thanks for mentioning it!!!
😮
too bad there is no way to slow that thing down a little
This primary machine I reprofile with has a variable speed DC motor running from 1000-2000rpm. Stock speed is 3450rpm. Keep an eye on my page, may have something new shortly "of interest".
I imagine a light dimmer switch (rheostat) would allow you to adjust speed?
@@DeeegerD A dimmer will slow speed but also will lose power and would render the motor useless.
@Curry Custom Cutlery I know this is a super old video for you. When I first setup my 1x30 sander I was stropping the very 1st knife I sharpened on it when the stropping belt let go at the seam. I was tentative as it was but when that happened it was loud and it nearly pulled the knife out of my hand. 🫣
I have some really good Cyanoacrylate adhesive and instant adhesive activator spray and thought... What the heck, I have absolutely nothing to lose so I very carefully glued, clamped and sprayed it. Being paranoid I waited overnight but probably could have only waited a few minutes and it would have been fine to use. I've been running it 2+ months with no issues. The manufacturer sent me a replacement and I'll definitely glue the seam from the backside before using it. 😆 Question for you, I see you now using a 600 grit Scotch Brite belt in your van setup. Do you prefer it over leather for kitchen knives and pocket knifes?
Thanks buddy. 👍
I keep moving around my final stropping step, from leather to felt belt to leather wheel now always adjusting and learning how to "play the instrument". We have great quality leather belts and wheels on our website too along with diamond emulsions that work really well with them.
