Matt, love the effort you go through to help out other makers. Really appreciate it . Great video as always
I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your process Matt! I have always struggled trying to get a mirror finish.
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Very nice finish! You are right about the grizzly motors, I have a W1843 Shop Fox Knife Belt Sander/Buffer, and it is a beast.
I’m super happy with those buffers! Very strong
Thanks so much for making the video I asked for. I have a set of those wheels but didn’t see the same results. Now I know it was user error on my part. I was too timid to put that much pressure on the blade. I’ve heard the horror stories about buffers and seen some of the after effects, so wasn’t really into it. Now I feel safer and I’m sure my blades will look better. Thanks again
👊👊
Thanks for the helpful advice on polishing blades.. I struggle sometimes getting the finish just right. This will help me a lot. As usual great video and very helpful! Keep grinding 👍👍
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! Your videos are solid gold for us novice makers!
Thank you!!!
I've been looking into getting this system but I wasn't quite sure about it. You talked me into it I'll give it a try. Thanks for the video 👍
It’s really fantastic! You won’t regret it
Thank you Matt.
Thank you for watching!
I've tried a couple different methods including the airway wheels. I had trouble removing scratches from the 3 wheel kit from Red-Label (even using the included abrasives). I've had success using a sisal wheel after sanding. It's very good at removing sanding marks and doesn't seem to take as much pressure as the airway wheels. I'll give the extra-coarse airway a try.
I’ll look into that! Thanks for watching
Great video! Going to pick some of these buffing wheels up
They are really a game changer
Love your videos brother.
Really appreciate that!!! 👊👊
You bet.
Thanks!
Can’t thank you enough!!! And thank you for watching!
Checking the links, different buffer. No matter, nice work.👍🍻
Yea I see that now! Same specs just different brand
Awesome 👍👍👍👍.
You’re awesome!
Thanks for sharing this Matt. Tried using this system a little while ago on a damascus blade, but had issues with the etch being very patchy which I'm sure had to do with compound still being on the blade. What do you use to clean the blade after buffing, but before the etch?
I’ll clean with laquer thinner twice prior to etching. Once just never seems to do a good enough job.
Always great content and so informative. What do you use to etch, please?
For the damasteel I use muriatic acid
That's really sharp. Why not go up to a trizac or similar belt before hand sanding, wouldn't that save some of the hand work?
I find anywhere past 220 isn’t really worth it in my opinion. As far as time and belt expense goes
Id rather take a beating than to have to hand sand. Is there a belt progression that can minimize it? Like maybe up to 400 and then a series of trizact and conditioning belts?
Definitely! I’ve taken them up to 800 on the belt then straight to buffing. Those belts just ware out so fast the cost isn’t worth it to me
👍
👊👊👊
will 1084 steel polish as good as the stainless steel that you are using in vid. ?
Yes!
Safety First
Can you (relatively easily) polish Magnacut at 63 HRC with this setup? I've got the Maveric/Combat wheels and compound - It's super easy buffing on Damascus and carbon steel, but darn it takes me about a forever and a half to polish Magnacut. Let me know if those make it much easier. Cheers
Well it’s definitely challenging but it can be done . The hand sanding just takes forever
@@gentrycustomknives8008 thanks for the reply! Wasn’t sure if the Red Label wheels were more aggressive on harder steels. Also, where do you find the super coarse wheel and compound? Can’t seem to find it on RL’s website. Cheers
@@samuelbelangerdallaire6486 I don’t think it’s available yet on the website but I’ll check with them and see
@@themichiganangler4746 thanks!
I need to get a buffer. I’m just afraid of them. They’re probably the most dangerous tool in anyones shop if you don’t know what you’re doing.
I’ve hurt myself a lot more with the grinder, drill press, oven lol. Just pay attention and it’ll be fine
Good job! Thanks for sharing
Mat do you use the same wheels to get that awesome finish on your handles? Thanks
@@trainwon5699yes!
Except buffing from a low grit to a mirror orange peels the surface. Might be able to hide it on camera but somebody that knows what a proper mirrored blade looks like is gonna call it out.
What’s a low grit?
@@gentrycustomknives8008 I would say anthing below 1500.
@@gentrycustomknives8008 Anything under 1500 but ideally 3k or higher before polishing for a show knife worthy finish. For that dead flat mirror with no ripples, waves or dips in the finish.
Hmm That's funny, I could have sworn I replied to this comment twice. Guess my replies vanished into thin air. 🤣
I see both comments? But are you saying my process is incorrect?
Id be careful encouraging people to use a buffer without a lot of good safety first information. Its the most dangerous machine in most peoples shop and if not respected it will hurt or even kill you like it has done to many makers already.
Angle grinder
I’ve buffed a lot. ALOT. And if you just pay a little bit of attention it’s very safe. Nothing to be scared of with proper technique
@@gentrycustomknives8008 Wearing long sleeves is always a bad idea when using a buffer or anything that spins. And you also are buffing above the center line sometimes. So if it does grab and throw the blade it will shoot it right at your legs.
Airway buffs are a decent bit safer than sewn buffing wheels.
Which makers have died? You always hear people throw this narrative out, without disclosing the proof/facts. I bet you can’t link one instance.
Fantastic finish on your blades but please use safety glasses 🥸
