that pencil rubbing was one of the cleverest show don’t tell things I’ve seen in a long time
Only thing I could think of to show the track marks
It was the perfect illustration
Hello John,
Sharpening such knives has always been a problem for me. Thank you for this nice useful information. I will try this. And now my knives will be sharpened. Thanks again for showing the details. (I admired that sharpening tool) nice content. See you. I wish you have a nice weekend. Big greetings.
Take care, my friend.
I have the Record power machine and have access to the top of the range Tormek one at the college where I work. What I will say is that the Tormek spills water the same as the Record, where it scores is the adjustable up and down of the water tray. The cost was a lot of money whereas the Record one which I got direct from Record power on eBay was cheap as chips. For the difference in cost which was several hundred pounds its not much better or may I say worth it either. With regards the jig to sharpen planer blades, I think I will stick to a wooden block with angled cuts and run them over some wet and dry paper on my planer bed. It works very well and costs just a scrap of wood and some paper. Very good vid and if you can afford the attachment it can be a good investment, certainly better than sending them off to be reground at a specialist.
Good to know thanks
nice video never thought you could use tormek jigs in a record sharpener you have saved me a nice bit of money
Thanks John
Glad to help!
Instead of going back and forth you should do complete passes one at a time. Just go from one side to the other then lift the jig. With slow, consistent passes you'll get an even grind without oversharpening the belly. Extra important with knives.
With this jig it is impossible to over sharpen the belly as you suggest. The blade runs along a jig guide giving a maximum removal of material along the entire length of the blade. When any given part of the blade reaches that limit it will simply ,as is known in the saw doctor world , spark out that section until the rest of the blade catches up. During this spark out period the movement back and forth will actually refine the edge to best the edge can possibly become. Reducing any kind of machinery chatter marks and reducing the effort required to hone the blade at completion
@AdamNiddrie Knife Grinders AU has a video demonstrating how wrong you are. You can end up with an oversharpened belly, effectively turning your knife into a recurve blade, lol. If the stone were a lot wider, you might not have the problem. But if the stone were a lot wider, the machine wouldn't be able to sharpen recurves or blades with sweeping curves. At least, not with a simple jig.
(former tormek owner) - an unbelievably expensive and slow solution. if there is considerable wear on the knives, I can't imagine waiting for the tormek - for three knives. it's slow even grinding hand plane irons, which is why I am a former owner and not a current owner.
Woodworking demands patience.
If don’t have patience for the Tormek your not a woodworker.
Hi John . Just spotted you on TH-cam and had to subscribe. Keep up the great work
Awesome, thank you!
Top job John, hopefully I can get back in the workshop soon
Hope you're feeling better.
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed Thanks John
Almost a 50k subs John, well done.
Cheers Cillian
I bought a tormek 2000 second hand and its been brilliant. I would stretch to the tormek new as think itts a life long investment
At the moment the wife is asking me to sharpen the kitchen knifes again 😂
You don’t have to crank down the knobs when securing the blade. You will warp the fixture. Do you even know why you marked the cutting edge of the blade? You marked it but you just proceeded to start sharpening without checking the contact area. Have you ever really used this jig? I’m also quite surprised that you didn’t check your progress before going too far. The Tormek sharpens quickly and you probably took off way more than needed.
Amazing stuff John !!!
Nice video thanks, but it would have been better if you explained the circular adjusting nuts with numbers on them on the two mounting posts are used to adjust the sliding jig so it is exactly parallel to the grinding wheel. If they are not used there is a risk the newly ground edge will not be parallel to the back referance edge of the blade.
questions: how fast does it remove deep chips in the blade? (like from a nail)
how fast is a blade sharpened in generell (without a chip)
how straight is the blade afterwards, comparable to a new one?
Now that you have some experience with this machine setup, do you find that you are able to grind the planer knives perfectly straight so that pieces run through the machine come out at the identical thickness, no matter which portion of the knife did the cutting?
Nice one John looks a good jig and that wj=heel upgrade you have done is pucker, I wish I had gone for the larger wheel I have the WG200-PK/A, as yet i have not been able to find a diamond stone for the 8" version... Do RP do the same sharpening Jig? Cheers Paul
Tormek make a 200mm diamond wheel for the t4 so you can get them now
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed Hi John, Thanks matey, I actually found them earlier, they are a new Item... Your video has encouraged me to buy some Tormek jigs and a 200mm diamond wheel (£165).. From Norfolk Saw Services and Ebay (I got a second hand SVH-320 Plane Blade Attachment for £100... Now I know the Tormek jigs fit the RP, like you I might start using it now.. Thanks John...👍👍
@@paultay23 glad to help, you won't regret getting it.
Have you made any more upgrades since?
Hi John, I really like the long planters you made and I would like to make one for my front garden. I am actually thinking of making it double height. How tall would recommend the frame and feet should be?
Thank john
No problem
Hey John, no offence. But it would have been smart to save the planer blades when you bought new ones. That way once you got this setup you could have sharpened all the blades. And that's the advice if give anyone in that situation. If you buying new blades for your planer. And there's a chance you might get a setup to sharpen then at some point. Save your blades so you can sharpen then all. And recoup some of your money. Just my thoughts. Thanks for another great video.
I did save the blades, I sharpened them aswell. Now I have a spare set ready to go.
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed heck yeah man good thinking. That's a smart move. So since I'm throwing away money.
Nice jig :) I’m saving up until I can afford something with a spiral cutting block though!
A spiral cutter solves a lot of problems
You need to get a helical cutter for it!
I am struggling with this jig, because the planer knives I have are not quite as tall as yours. Therefore I am unable to actually have the edge touch the stone at any angle. Does anyone have suggestions?
That jig is over 200e which could give me 4-5 of brand new sets to keep me going for 2 years. Just wondering if there is anyone in Ireland who can professionally sharpen blades in County Kildare preferably. Would rather pay someone who knows what he is doing than myself ruining blades 😆
Its HSS steel why would someone be using coolant ? water is absolutely all that is needed, there is no carbide nor stellite that would require extra coolant or non corrosive coolant with the water?Great video mate but maybe best not to mention things that are not necessary with the material you are working with so as not to confuse beginners thinking they need coolant when they dont. Or it maybe a conversation piece to elaborate in your video the differences , however be prepared for the many natural and synthetic options available if you choose that path and the extra time it would add to a simple video.
This has to be right up with the poorest demonstration using the planer sharpening jig.
Thanks for nothing
You talk too much 😴😴😴
