*This is exactly what I needed for trimming the edge of oak boards **MyBest.Tools** I also used the disk to round edges while building an oak - walnut cabinet.*
Hey Cap'n, as I always say about our troops here in the UK.... "if ya can't stand behind em, feel free to stand in-front of em". These brave folks deserve the highest respect.
I've owned and used the hell out of that same sander for over 20 years. Other than replacing the drive belt once, it's never quit. In fact, since starting woodturning, it's what I've used to sharpen tools on; just freehand standing in front of it rather than behind with a jig. You're right on - *fine* edge on the tools and next to nothing removed from the tool itself. :-) I'm going to try rounding over the bevel on a skew like that... interesting idea.
Capt, like everyone else I'm thinking that this is a great idea. Mine is the HF version that was purchased late last year and one issue on my version is the platform, it's made of aluminum and mounted on an articulated arm so the bracket/platform you show wouldn't work, but there are several bolting points in the body below the belt that could be used to mount a shop made platform so it should be no problem making a something to fit. Thanks for another great tip Eddie.
Hey bud, great videos and awesome advice. I love your attitude towards doing things yourself and saving money. I just got into wood turning and you have been a great help. I will be modifying me one of those beauties very soon. Thanks
I have been using my Sears version since I saw the Sorby system introduced. What I did was mount the table in the belt position and drilled a hole for my Oneway. I also have a HF system that I got in a yard sale for $25 a year or so. It was missing parts, so I ordered replacements. The piece you modified cost me $1.36.
capt. eddie anouther brilliant idea. i need all the help i can get because being ex navy seal not much money so its harbor freight tools for me. in having to replace all my lathe tools because of a break in. i just replaced my lathe and in the process of buying new chisels they took all but a 1/4 inch parting tool and thats real hard to make a box or bowl but i found a way to do it so all the ideas i can get from all of you fellow wood turners are greatly appreciated. i watch as many as i can especially you , you make it all fun. sorry for rambling on so wano by from texas wooen things II
Hey Eddie thanks for the inspiration I have been getting my boss to sharpen my tools on his sorby which means I have down time waiting for him to have time to do them so I got a grinder with a belt sander and got creative in the metal shop i spent some time taking measurements and pictures of the sorby I am still building it but it will have the tool rest stops to obtain the required grinds I will send you a picture when its all done think you will like it
Hummm~I have a Black & Decker 3x24 & 6"disc unite. {I have a wielder but I wield like crap] so I'm thinking I could add an extension by Pop Riveting a piece of scrap. Then use the BlackHawk rig I just got from you. [nice set up by the way~thanks] I also have a Black & Decker 1" belt sander. [never use it~~there was a 75%off sale] I also bought an "S" load of both size belts..
Some people do what you're showing, but they reverse the direction of the belt so that it moves up, away from the edge rather than down into it. I think they feel that reversing the belt means the tool can't be snatched and thrown if you goof and dig into the belt. Have you ever felt the need to reverse the belt direction? I'm setting up a machine right now and it runs much smoother in the normal direction vs. reversed.
Good idea for using my JET JSG64 (looks similar as your DELTA). Only one thing I keep in mind - safety. Is it really safely? What may be happened in case of sander belt damage caused by sharp edge of chisel? Perhaps better to use 6 inch disk and extansion table with jig? Anyway a lot of thanks! Looks good! Alexei
that table is pretty flimsy. the drive gears are weak as well. I have two in my shop right now with stripped gears but I found a cheap fix. drill through the gear and bolt it to the wheel
Hey, Eddie, I've got a sander just like that one. It's a 6 inch disk sander. What happened to the cast aluminum table that came with it? I think it'd be easy enough to use that instead of adding the tab, but that's just me. Take 'er easy, Larry
Hey Capt'n I am wondering if you are selling tabs yet or if I can send you mine, I am a new turner and my tools got dull and I took them to a shop that said they could do them, well they worse than what I took in to them. I been looking at the sorby proedge and its like 500 bucks, id prefer to spend that money on something else since I have the harbor freight version of this. And I been picking up a lot from your videos IM WATCHING!
Hey Eddie. About Harbor Freight. Just about everything I bought from them has lasted a month if that. Table saw fence, handle broken off, not to mention the blade is set at an angle creating a heel. Impact driver lasted about 2 weeks. All of the clamps snapped off. I even broke pliers clean off, I know I am a strong guy, but not that strong. Harbor Freight is absolute crap, wish ou would stop advertising them.
14:10 video and it took you 11:17 minutes to actually start showing us the "how-to". You're a windy kinda guy right?!!! Just giving you a bit of grief "big C" .. keep on keeping on bud!
Hey you Ahole don’t see you making videos this is a man with a lot of experience so who are you the safety monitor if TH-cam don’t have problem with it Why WHY Should you u dread

lol love the fire story :) love your style too keep up the good work mate.
Great video. You are just a very knowledgeable and wonder man. Thank you!
Captain your a freakin legend
Hey Eddie thanks for the inspiration I have been getting my boss to sharpen my tools on his sorby which means I have down time waiting for him to have time to do them so I got a grinder with a belt sander and got creative in the metal shop i spent some time taking measurements and pictures of the sorby I am still building it but it will have the tool rest stops to obtain the required grinds I will send you a picture when its all done think you will like it
Thanks again Captain. Excellent video. I am going to modify my belt grinder guide now.
Capt. Eddie how are you doing. I thank you for your knowledge I've learned a lot in my turning. Keep it up.
Hummm~I have a Black & Decker 3x24 & 6"disc unite. {I have a wielder but I wield like crap] so I'm thinking I could add an extension by Pop Riveting a piece of scrap.

Hi Captain Eddie
Another advantage to your grinder is that its a flat grind rather than a hollow grind (stronger edge).
That table is holding up the end of the A/C unit. All it was good for.
I like your style... great idea, looking forward to giving this a whril. (thats a technical term...whirl)
Do they sell any with a leather belt on it
Some people do what you're showing, but they reverse the direction of the belt so that it moves up, away from the edge rather than down into it. I think they feel that reversing the belt means the tool can't be snatched and thrown if you goof and dig into the belt.

Sorry it has taken so long to complete the freedom pens. They will be going out this week. Great videos.
Hey, Eddie,

Take 'er easy,

i really apreciate your vidios
I'm wondering if you sell that jig
Very useful thanks Eddie Mark

Still selling rbe complete jig system? Cost?
you talk to the camera like it’s going to respond lol
Hey capi good tip Do not combine the sawdust with the sparks of the steel, if you do it you'll burn your ass
Hey Eddie. About Harbor Freight. Just about everything I bought from them has lasted a month if that. Table saw fence, handle broken off, not to mention the blade is set at an angle creating a heel.

Everything from harbor freight comes with a 90 day warranty so i hope you got your money back

So you don't believe in you get what you pay for ?
HeiCap,N Too much talk.Your safety protection is zero.
Hey you Ahole don’t see you making videos this is a man with a lot of experience so who are you the safety monitor if TH-cam don’t have problem with it Why WHY Should you u dread
great rig, glad to see the cap' happy again last video I think I seen steam coming out of your ears.
