If you think Tormek is a great wet sharpener have a look at my new sharpening system. It has 2- 10"X2" diamond resin wheels, 2- 2X42" belts and all can run wet or dry. It runs forward or reverse. Fast 1000 rpm or slow it down to 200 rpm. The belts can lay flat or quickly swing to vertical, forward or back. The custom designed DC motor is extremely torque so if you like to use pressure you can. ...

Bro just finished the main arc as a side character better than the mains😢
I love your content! Wow this is informational ❤
I watched the whole vid but never heard you explain the actual technique to remove the micro burr. Could you elaborate or point me to a video where it get's explained? Also I think the focus should be on edge retention testing, not on sharpness testing. A micro buss can get shaving sharp so you will still end up with Bess scores below 100. That means you can't make a distinction just by measuring sharpness. But a micro burr tends to fold over quick, hence giving you bad edge retention. So with edge retention testing, you could actually differentiate between a fully deburred knife or one with a remaining micro burr just by seeing how well the edge holds up.
As a Norwegian, I'd rather by anything but Swedish, but the Tormek is simply straight quality, and you have to respect that. If you can afford it, buy it, you won't regret it.
@@BjørjaBear agree. Pride of ownership is much higher with Tormek. But when is budget friendly if you can’t justify the cost. P.s. I used 2 wen after my Tormek needs enough parts I could just buy a second wen and not have to deal with the Tormek’s cancer rust
This makes sense for someone who’s in the business of sharpening knives. Can you recommend one for someone who does their own knives, family, friends knives only. For fun
@@jesusalfrb wen wet grinder. See my video on it. I used it for years no problem
You're a cool guy thanks for all your videos!
English or Spanish at the top text, and the song.
@@The_puppet_who_gave_anxiety- I don’t understand but thanks for the comment
Well now I see it's not nice to comment on things I know nothing about, especially while drinking. My bad I was on the understanding that a roll pin was used so I'm taking responsibility for my arrogance and ignorance. I did however get on Cuttermasters web site and found this "The 250 mm wheels that drive high speed belts and reverse are now keyed to our axles." I hope you will except my sincere apology.
Parcel pil..
I enjoy your videos and am subscribed to your channel. FYI there is a difference between a keyway and a roll pin. A keyway is a square grove broached or machined on the wheel and shaft with a square piece of key stock locking the two together. A roll pin is a round spiral pin that goes into a round hole.
@@youngsapling1 they have a keyway on the axle. The hole to receive the brass pin is on the wheel close to the center 1/2 hole. It’s only needed when reversing, if even then. The center screw will hold on its own I think sense the reverse button is soft stop/start.
These machines are so amazing. This is on my 2026 Christmas list.
I recieved the new AC version. 1.5 HP Insane torque. Im loving it.
@@FREEHAND.WETGRINDER Now that is just showing off. I am so jealous
Bro unlocked english or spanish mode💀
I started with the original WEN wheel and found it to be really inconsistent with course parts in the wheel and smooth parts of the wheel. Some parts were "harder" and other parts were soft and shed out faster. Overall, it worked, but I felt that there had to be better stones out there. I moved to the Jet wheel, and thought that was an improvement for sure. It shed nicely, so I wasn't getting that burnishing with metal stuck in the wheel as much. I did notice that my first Jet wheel was super soft on one side and hard on the other so it went out of round quite quickly. The soft side was always course and the hard side was smooth and it made it hard to get a consistent grind on the blade. I bought a second one, and it was REALLY SOFT. I put that away and just called it a loss, and chalked it up to manufacturing inconsistency. My THIRD Jet wheel was really nice and consistent. I could control the grit and grind very well. After truing the wheel a couple times, I'm now into a section of the stone that is SUPER soft. It's usable, but I have to smooth it over a lot or it's too course for the work I do. And you are right about there being little "rocks" in parts of it that you can feel. Not great for a last pass on a knife as it puts large grooves into your fine edge. I've been wanting a stone that is really consistent all the way through in hardness and grit. I just got my first Tormek wheel and I'm excited to get it on. I'm really grateful for your extensive comparison on the wheels; doing your work over months and noting the characteristics of the wheels thouroughly and not just "unboxing". I do a few hundred knives a month at work, and when you're struggling with the stone, you really feel that impact your efficiency. I'll gladly pay the extra money to have less frustration. Anyways... Thanks for the great video.
@@BenRobinson-p6s try a resin diamond wheel from cuttermaster. It is consistent and will last you for ever.
Do you offer your sharpening services via mail?
sorry no. Contact "the Sharpening guy" hes amazing and does mail-order.
put a neodym magnet in the water - it will pull and collect a lot of the metal flakes after removing them.
Really appreciate this mini series, your reviews and videos have helped me finalize a lot of things as I’m setting up a business and has given a lot of useful info. Definitley a great foundation if your looking to start a husjness
Same idea as turning a brake drum.
If a power drill can be reversed by simply throwing a switch, why aren’t bench grinders so equipped?
@@eronavbj bench grinders are designed for one purpose. And sharpeners are the ones who use it for a different purpose, working on top. For this it has to be turned around or reversed
Great video. Thanks. Maybe raise the volume if possible? Hard to hear on my iPad. Did you fabricate the stand for the Rikon? Looks interesting.
Something has happened to the volume? Im looking in the editor on YT so I don't have to replace it and loose the history. I did make the stand on the 1X30. I have seen guys with out welders make wood stands.
@@FREEHAND.WETGRINDER 👍 Very weak volume. Difficult to hear. Great content.
@@scottydudley5700 something happened to the volume

How does it becomes out of round in the first place?
@@sydrider6023 the mineral gets packed in the mold tighter on one side is my guess.
@@FREEHAND.WETGRINDER your comment makes me think that it could be a consequence of leaving one side of the wheel in water for a long period of time after use.
@@sydrider6023 I’ve been told that. But I run continuously when sharpening then dump water to travel home.

Still a great video with some great tips. I'm flat out getting 400 knives per wheel. If my maths is correct (53,000/17) you're getting about 3,352 knives per wheel! That's extraordinary! Must be your edge trailing method. I'm guessing you probably also grind at one grit without changing the grit much. I change the grit from rough to smooth(er) on almost every knife but I had no idea it was costing me $45,000 in lost income per wheel. I'm in shock. Unless I've missed something. I miss a lot of things.
@@iSharpen I bought the WEN to have two grits. Or better the new cuttermaster edge AC.

Can you put the link to the laser ?

Hey Pete, I've had the the wheel come a little loose one time, you mention this in the video - with the old locking "knobs" I think the pin must not have been properly set in the open slot I'm not sure, just happy I noticed before it came all the way loose. Anyway you said you had a fix for it would you elaborate on that? Nice to see you going good, I spoke to some people though they said the new Apex wouldn't be in the store before 2025? I can see they have the ones with the new axle now but is that also with the new AC brushless motor?
Slide your fingers on a newly sharpened knife ? Yes you can but never along it, across it is correct, you can easily feel a burr. You are just feeling with the ridges in your fingerprint, and by how easily the edge catches the ridges. Somehow the sharper the knife the crisper the edge feels.
Is this the Wen BG4270T thats featured in the video?
@@budmonk2819 the numbers change. It was reversible. I don’t think the changes to the number reflect any actual changes to the machine.

Hi Pete! I certainly enjoy your videos. Great stuff! As a fellow sharpener and so to be Tradesman Edge Apex BOW owner, I just want to find out if your neoprene honing wheel has experienced any mishape from the tensioned belt when thinning knives on it? Let me know how the neoprene wheel is holding up? Thanks, Pete.
@@KennethRomanyshyn it’s holding up fine but when I shot the last video I had my new contact wheel. It has a soft neoprene 1/2” thick wheel. It’s better but not available. The one cuttermaster has worked fine as a stand in before I got the thicker one. Remember to contact me before ordering your edge. You will receive the laser I used in the video as a thank you
@FREEHAND.WETGRINDER Thanks for your response on the honing wheel holding up under belt tension. I had a Multitool 2x36 setup, but I left my belt tensioned up over a weekend, and it totally flattened my rubber contact wheel to smithereens. I just don't want to repeat that issue with a new Edge Apex neoprene honing wheel. Thank you for your kind offer of your laser; but my new machine was ordered before I came across your TH-cam page. Actually, my machine arrives tomorrow afternoon.... I can't wait to set it up and learn to use it well. Keep up the good work, Pete. You have a fan from the great white north ... about 1500 miles northwest of you. Cheers!
Pete! Amazing trailer! Would you be willing to share how you built those fold out awnings?

I like watching build videos so all your trailer builds are appreciated here. The more details the better as far as I'm concerned. I'm not mobile yet but I'd like to be one day.
@@iSharpen check out “Peter built IT” look at custom boat build & e-bike sidecar. It’s not sharpening related but if you like builds you might like my other channel.
@@FREEHAND.WETGRINDER awesome!
Based on your review I ordered an apex with two belt over wheel attachments. This was several weeks ago before this post. I mentioned your post to them and referenced it as how I wanted mine to be set up. If you need details about the order I can provide them. FYI my right hand BOW came damaged my left hand shaft came milled to shallow and I wasn't able to tighten the insert until I ground about an eighth of an inch off of the set screw and the small wheel on the left BOW was so wobbly I ended up replacing it as well. All the problems are now fixed and it works great. If it doesn't work out for you to send me a laser can you give me the Amazon reference?
I first saw these at a woodturning convention 10 or more years ago. I think they were originally developed for resharpening the carbide bits for the CNC machines. Diamond wheels, even on slow speed/1760 rpm, would degrade quickly because of heat build up. Never got one, but their CBN wheels were very good too.
Use them wet with a spray bottle
