Dear Bonnie, I've been following you for 2 years. I've made up my mind and I want you to be my icon or example in this job. It took me this two years to research and and established my own in Ghana here . All what I need from you is deeper knowledge as a great investment. Thank you.
Hi... I like to watch your vids, i learn a lot from you, well sometimes I have some frustrating experience when sharpening with some blades, I check that I do all steps as it should, but blades just doesn't cut!! Well the only solution is to put a new cutter...and it works fine... If you once find what's wrong with these cutters...I would like to know.... Saludos from Chile
Oh and one more thought. Get our clipper serviced. I was pulling out my hair wondering what was wrong with my sharpening and it wasn't the sharpening at all. It was the clipper with some warn out parts.(that plastic piece that oscillates the cutter for one) Once I had it serviced the blades all worked great. Figured that out after having to re-do many blades for many months
You can’t do this without some type of professional clipper hone. Attempting to sharpen by hand on a stone will eventually make the clipper unable to cut by removing the hollow.
$9/blade? Still? Can I send you some blades? I know you don’t like the time it takes, but I appreciate that you take your time to not just do it right, but to do it WELL!
@@bethderrico5259 it’s an older video. We charge more now. But check the website on how to send blades. Better yet, come take the class and learn to do your own blades.
Again, dear I ask, I would like to find out, is the hone ( the disk ) a complete metal ? The reason why I'm asking this question is because I want to form or create a Clipper blade sharpening machine
I have been trying to get my oyster blades sharpened. We are in the NEK of Vermont. May I send them to you to be sharpened? Although I can tell you do not like sharpening clipper blades. I have approximately 8 pairs.
I am a retired Barber and I don't take much metal off at all when I sharpen my blades with a 1000 and 6000 grit wet stones. Now watching you I wonder what am I missing ? LOL
If you only have the one clipper hone, it would be best I would assume to sharpen mostly on the outside of the plate where there is less slope. I do very few large animal blades. Thank you for the suggestion.
@@BonikaShears You can get great results on the larger blades with a flat diamond plate hone. I think most people have a flat hone if they sharpen anything professionally. I'd do simple figure 8's with light pressure on a 220 up to 800 then polish on a water stone. In the end, it's not THAT critical on the large sheers because the hair is far thicker and less apt to push or lay. Thanks for the great content!
Hay una cosa que no llego a entender, si los cortantes de metal sí o sí se los afila con el disco de alumino con ángulo, por qué los de cerámica resultan quedar bien en una piedra de diamante plana. A caso y al final no es tan necesario realmente lo del ángulo, por más explicaciones teóricas que hacen al respecto. Supe comprar un disco en mi país, Argentina, el centro del mismo no se usa, tiene quitado un diámetro de 10 cm., en donde lleva una base que va al eje del motor para soportar el disco. Desde el borde del diámetro central de 10cm. hacia afuera del disco, tiene el ángulo de inclinación de 1mm. tallado, pero en una superficie de apenas 7cm. para tallar las cuchillas, cortantes y peines. El resultado es un debaste para nada cóncavo, sino que gasta más en un borde que en otro, osea, talla el ángulo de caída plano del disco, pero deja la cuchilla con tal desbaste desprolijo. O el ángulo en vez de ser de inclinación plana, con pendiente hacia los bordes del disco, en realidad debe ser un ángulo convexo, así de esa forma talla una concavidad en la cucilla? Creo me estafaron, y de paso resaltar la mala intención de ello. El disco es marca Filoscan modelo serranita.
I'm so sorry. Between Google translate and the technical language I'm at a loss to answer you. Keep in mind my specialty is scissors not clipper blades.
a suggestion from one sharpener to another, ( I also hate doing these!) Take out some steps, I think you can get away with skipping the ultra sonic cleaning. ( this will save time and get them done faster) I demagnetize after sharpening then use a nylon brush in warm soapy water to clean off the grinding dust.( I found this amazing brush on amazon that has really long bristles that works great for getting into those really thick blades) Also if you are testing the blades after sharpening I think you are safe to eliminate the rub block. These steps don't take much time but it sure adds up. Thanks for the video! I had no idea you could sharpen ceramic cutters on a diamond stone. I will be trying this out for sure. - Cheryl
I would take out some steps but as you see it passed the rub block but not the fur cut. A sharpener called me today and suggested a good brass brush would have removed some burs between the teeth and would have made it glide through the hair better.
@@queryads1000 "Carlisle 4002000 Sparta Hand and Nail Brush, Polyester Bristles, 2" Length x 5" Width Block" (put this into amazon and it should pop up. I've started to think it is likly too soft to knock off any burr but with it's long bristles it's great at cleaning out the blades that have more depth. It's pricey but I love it
@@caldonsharpening9643 I'll check it out. I have been doing okay with a toothbrush (medium). Holds natural in hand. I'll still check your solution out. I bought a microscope and I see that it remove all blurs after 2-3 small baths with dawn dish
Two or more people I know confessed to me that when they sharpen their clipper blade with the sharpening machine it gives the blade excellent results but after a month and some days the clipper blade get destroyed, no longer useful. Please what is the cause ? What they said had made me lose interest in clipper blade sharpening machine? My focus is on the rub block instead of the other one. Please help me understand. Thank you
I think they did not properly clean after sharpening. The demagnetizer is important. Without that some grit may cling between the teeth then after use will work it’s way between the blades dulling them. All the grit must be removed after sharpening.
My new video which is step by step is 100 times better and less confusing. This is the one I send out before training. I’ll be posting short clips from it in the near future. Please keep in mind, my real expertise is in beauty shears.
1 hour to watch a demo? Seriously, please edit and make these shorter. Too much talk, wasted time. Its not an effective demo. I don't have a whole hour. Way too much talking, which hurts the ears. We can see. This is a video, not a radio show.
The title of the video was “demonstration” not “tutorial.” As noted, I don’t like sharpening clipper blades and yes I rather talk and postpone it than sharpen. Lol…thank you for your comment. Yes, you are on target. Will it change? Maybe not. It is much harder to film blade sharpening than shear sharpening.

Wow, thank you
❤your work ethic you try to do the best job you can .Having the right tools and the skills make you a great teacher.
Thank you.
I just got the Treyco for clipper blades. researching which scissor machine to get now.
Take a look at the Scimech. It’s the best. Www.bonika.com
Thanks its been a good video very informative and nice to know.
Glad it was helpful!
You are doing fine job thank you
So nice of you
Nice job dear 👍
Thank you so much 😊
Please what kind of liquid did you pour into the bowl ( small basin ) to clean up the the blade ?
I was using an ultra sonic cleaner and used water with a little degreaser soap.

It's possible the cutter was sharpened wrong by someone else or was defective from the manufacturer.
Is there any advantages in using your clipper blade sharpener vs. the Treyco 3000?
I know people who do a great job on both machines. I have never used Treyco but I understand it has slower RPM's.
@@BonikaShears Thank you

Yup. I've done that too!
Sorry, I meant remove the burr first( really last) before assembling to test cut
Demagnetize then brush the burr off.
How else can that be done if I don’t have that type of sharpener?
You can’t do this without some type of professional clipper hone. Attempting to sharpen by hand on a stone will eventually make the clipper unable to cut by removing the hollow.
So the honing disk is a convex surface. I wonder what the radius of the convex is?
Is the purpose of the string just to keep the blade perpendicular to the edge of the wheel, or something else?
I must keep the blade lined up straight from the center of the plate to the edge.
$9/blade? Still? Can I send you some blades? I know you don’t like the time it takes, but I appreciate that you take your time to not just do it right, but to do it WELL!

I don’t make the hone. It is made by EdgePro. I would recommend you buy theirs and not make your own. They have put decades of research into this.
@@BonikaShears oh ok .

Are you talking about Oster clipper blades? This is the link to send them. bonika.com/products/clipper-blade-sharpening-with-pre-paid-mailing-label
Lâminas da Oster
Substitua a corrediça da mola pela da Andis que dá certo.
A canaleta da Oster é muito larga para sua corrediça original
If I test on an Andis and the customer has a weaker clipper, it may make me happy but the customer sad.
@@BonikaShears replace the slide for the Andis
Don't you have to remove the burr first?
The brush removes the burr. There is no burr until after metal has been removed.
I am a retired Barber and I don't take much metal off at all when I sharpen my blades with a 1000 and 6000 grit wet stones. Now watching you I wonder what am I missing ? LOL
You are missing the hollow grind. Eventually after enough flat stone sharpening it will be gone and they will stop cutting.
Large animal sheers should be flat ground as opposed to hollow for small animal and human hair clippers.
If you only have the one clipper hone, it would be best I would assume to sharpen mostly on the outside of the plate where there is less slope. I do very few large animal blades. Thank you for the suggestion.
