Since I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, finding evermore things to add to my "Gotta Have It" wish lists is still ongoing. The back flattening set-up is especially appealing. No more wearing out the edges of six inch long by half inch wide x 0.020" thick stainless steel rulers or shim stock.
Another demonstration of why your company is so terrific! The products are great and reasonably priced, but the fact that Mike is an ACTUAL woodworker (!) is the reason why I'll continue to buy from Taylor! Great tip on setting the chip breaker. Thanks!
Great video Mike Thank you for sharing as a new woodworker iv purchased several things from you guys as my money allows and will continue to when I can but Thank you for always sharing your knowledge and great tips.
Disagree with the prior comment. There was nothing but helpful information in the entire 14 minute video. Maybe they are very experienced but I’m not and it was all great information for me. Thanks so much.
The MagSwitch magnet trick is golden! I have the TayTool U-build-It sharpening system and its the BOMB! I'm actually bracing up to re-grind a 20 degree on my brand new Blue Spruce paring chisel which is 25 degrees from the factory. I thought a paring chisel was always 20 degrees for fine paring.... Excellent video, excellent production quality, thank you!
Thanks for the advice about the importance of setting the chip breaker close to prevent tear-out. What about low-angle planes (bevel up) that don't have a chip breaker?
Curious...have you done a head to head comparison with a Tormek? I have both and like both. Looks like both go to 1000 grit. If I can get same sharpness, cubitron wins due to time saving and ease of use. Thanks in advance
So many cool things I want to get, wish you has a Canadian location as buying in American dollars and then paying duty and shipping makes things too expensive, and we dont have a company like yours with reasonable prices for good quality materials 😀
My concern is I've tried samples of the lapping film and cubitron, and they seem super effective but also extremely consumable. I don't know if I'm using them wrong ? I can't tell if it worth it as if normal wear or user error . I have to import most of this being up in Canada which adds a LOT of cost. Is there anywhere or thing to show average usage/wear/expenditure of the consumables ?
There's nothing to show average wear. One thing that I've found that extends the life on the cubitron is to not press too hard as this wears the abrasive off before it can cut. If I apply moderate pressure they last twice as long.
While it does greatly speed up the initial flattening of the back of the plane iron. If you're using a jig for resharpening afterwards, however, the down side comes in avoiding creating a back angle on the back of the iron behind the bezel/bevel when you de-burr after honing.
I never use the ruler trick as I van get a really flat and polished edge using the magswitch. Plus the ruler trick might interfere with the way I put my chipbreaker so close to the edge.
@@TaylorToolworks, Now that I have increased the number of DMT diamond plates to include the Extra, Extra Coarse, I'm going back through all the ones that came "Hilly" from the factory that I'd used the ruler trick on. "But I only have to do this once" I keep telling myself - again. :)
You just took 2 minutes to explain how you take out the camber and then a minute to show how you put it back in. Why not simply finish sharpening the iron with that camber it had from the first procedure.
Ahhh TH-cam. Where the comment section can artfully dodge any amount of useful information to find something utterly unimportant to gatekeep. Never change, sweet child.
Useful products, very interesting. Just one thing shocked me - after all thecar and attention you put into honing the edge, setting the chip-breaker, and the blade depth, you committed the cardinal sin: you put the plane, blade-down, straight onto the bench! Then you picked it up, made a couple passes on the wood - and did it again! I couldn't believe my eyes. This was hammered into us at apprentice school - never put your planes blade-down on the bench, in case there is a screw, a nail, or some other hard fragment there that will put a dent in the edge and produce a mark line on your work. Tut-tut!
Sounds like DOGMA to me. Are you blind? Are you in such a hurry you can't bother to LOOK? Do you know that a (steel) plane iron in much harder than wood? As for my planes, I LOOK at (WATCH) what I'm doing when I put down a plane. I suggest you learn to think for yourself if you can. If you can't it won't matter because something else will go wrong.
A blade that can slice through wood isn’t likely to be damaged by simply setting it on wood. I’ve seen that rule myself many times but I’ve yet to see an example of a blade being damaged by violating that rule.

Glad I could help!!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for demonstrating this for us. I'm sold!
Thanks!
Thanks for the tip on chip breaker placement! Excellent info, Mike. The results speak for themselves.
lovely 14 min video demonstrates 22 sec technic...
Sorry about that!!

I was just about to suggest making this very video. thanks!
Been meaning to do it for a long time.

Agree with your comment on Purple Heart, but it is nice when you turn it or with inlays.
Agreed!

Thanks!
Great video, very informative.

You should change the title of this video to replace the really informative information on chipbreaker setting at the end. Thanks for sharing!!

Can you use this to re-grind primary bevel (25 degrees) as well?
If the sharpening process occurs so quickly, why would you make a second bevel?
What size magswitch do you use?
Magjig 150.
No Charlesworth ruler trick?

Thanks for putting this on here sir, I learned a lot. I appreciate how anal you are, I suffer the same affliction
Anal is good to a point. Haha

PLEASE take note planes have irons not blades.

Yeah then it might take him another 22 seconds to fix that blade! Kidding aside, I don't think he's got any stray screws or nails in that workbench.
Ypu are correct but I make sure there is nothing below my plane but wood. I would never set it on top of anything but my bench.
Sounds like DOGMA to me.
Are you blind?
Are you in such a hurry you can't bother to LOOK?

I suggest you learn to think for yourself if you can.
If you can't it won't matter because something else will go wrong.
Two plane experts Rob Cosman and Paul Sellers continually place their planes sole side down.
A blade that can slice through wood isn’t likely to be damaged by simply setting it on wood. I’ve seen that rule myself many times but I’ve yet to see an example of a blade being damaged by violating that rule.
Oh dear , either you are not a Carpenter or your sharpening is no good at all bcz your planning is so bad , pardon me , it is ugly to see.😢
Waffles too long
Ive got a lot to say and not enough time to say it..
Those are called shavings, not waffles : )

No offense bud but one should learn to enjoy the process. Fast is not usually worth it.
