Razor Sharp Edgemaking System - Knife Sharpening

If you want the best ever finish for your knives then whetstones are going to take some beating. They do though require quite a bit of skill to master and get good results. It's also not a very fast process. I decided to go down the paper sharpening wheel route and find it produces excellent results in a very short time.
I've been using these for nearly 3 years to maintain my knives and those of friends and family and am nowhere near needing to 're-grit' the wheel. But I have the grit in the kit to do so numerous times if I ever do.
You might be able to find these in the UK but these may need to be shipped from the USA. They are worth it though. You can buy these here amzn.to/3u5jiX1 The manufacturer's site is here nextgen.sharpen...
Just an advisory note, the edges you can achieve with these wheels are crazy sharp so when you have finished using them please don't just toss them in the washing up bowl like my friend Paul did, because his partner came along, put her hands in the dish water and badly cut her finger. When you have finished using your knife, wash it, dry it, then put it away. 😉

Thanks for the video. I bought one of these sets about a year ago and am finally about to set it up on the grinder. This was very helpful

[@GeeWhizRS]

Good luck with it. 👍

[@curiousgeorge8]

Great video thanks 👍🏻
There's no need to strop the knife with this system then?

[@GeeWhizRS]

Thank you. The edge will be highly polished so I wouldn't say stropping is required. You'd want to use a little more pressure than you think on the smooth wheel. That makes a big difference. 👍

Very well explained Sir.thanks

[@dojifly]

Many thanks, great video!!

[@imrithvishwamitr8770]

Well explained Sir. Is the angle always 25 degrees.

[@GeeWhizRS]

It varies depending on what angle your knife has been sharpened to. Just raise or lower your position on the wheel to adjust.

Thanks for video 🗡️👍

Which model is it -the Sealey BB1502? There is also the BB202? Been looking a while for a way to sharpen my lathe chisels etc and this looks good. Would want to do same and reverse motor so want to get one I know you can do this with. Thank you!

[@GeeWhizRS]

BB1502 👍

[@BarryM60]

@@GeeWhizRS Ah! Thank you I was squinting at it and thought so but wasn't sure. Thank you for a quick reply :) Ever tried to sharpen a Roughing out gouge - they have a curved edge?

[@GeeWhizRS]

@@BarryM60 Not needed to do that. Surely you just sharpen the outside edge though? The RPM on this buffer might be a a bit high for that. A 1750 RPM might be more suitable.

Update: gave up on regritting the mdf wheel, made an 8" plywood wheel, glued on 240 grit emery sandpaper, lasting over 50 sharpening and still going without any signs of failing!!!!

[@GeeWhizRS]

Good stuff. I’m glad you found something that works for you.

[@robmaggs2827]

Can you help me because my grinder spins true but my paper wheels don’t so does anyone know how to overcome this many thanks rob

[@GeeWhizRS]

You will just need to nudge the wheels true. Spin it by hand and note which way the wheel is out and nudge it the opposite way. It should be easy enough to do. They don’t need to perfect.

[@robmaggs2827]

@@GeeWhizRS thanks I’ll try that

[@paulr5027]

I've got the razor sharp wheels, work great for about 5 knives, then need regritting.
Trying different glues, anyone having grit retention problems/ fixes? Razor sharp says should be able to do 100 knives......

[@GeeWhizRS]

Are you sure the grit is actually coming off and you’re not just clogging it up with the grease they include in the kit? If the grit is coming off that’s not right.
Think the right glue is Elmer’s pva glue.

[@paulr5027]

@@GeeWhizRS yes, even when brand new, 1 knife was throwing grit everywhere!! Looking at actual sandpaper now, cutting to size and gluing it on

[@GeeWhizRS]

@@paulr5027 might sound daft but you have the knife the right way round don’t you. The wheel should be running from the spine to the point.

[@paulr5027]

@@GeeWhizRS yes.....

[@GeeWhizRS]

@@paulr5027 maybe contact the seller then and see what they say. I haven’t had to regrit once yet. Probably 100 knives or so.
If you’ve tried regritting it and finding the same issue I can only thing you may be applying too much pressure. Other than that I’m out of ideas.

[@usamasiddiqu4159]

Sealey

[@GeeWhizRS]

Yes that’s the brand of buffer.

it's a shame that you have to appease the youtube range safety officers...
