they mention 10 000 hours of operating time, does it go garbage after reaching such hours ?

Does anyone sell the FVB? I just picked up a T4. Thanks

Thank you very much! Very honest and practical guidance. Super helpful.

what was the name of the German company for CBN wheels

Excellent video, thank you for making it.

wunnerful

Do you prefer the KO elite, or have you tried MDF/paper wheels for sharpening (looks like they’re in background)? I can’t decide whether to get bench grinder with paper wheels or KO elite.

Too much talking

Good job

🙏

I have the same RCD that(flashes when switched off) and switches itself off when the washing machine Starts turning Fast,do you think this bastard is to fault?Thanks

Great video! Im looking at purchasing a FVB for fixed angle honing. Im curious if youve tried Tormaks multibase? Ive only found one company that makes a FVB and they are currently out of stock. What are your thoughts?

Excellent explanation, I watched a lot of videos and only got clarity on the issue after watching this.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it and help us newbies :-)

One thing I’ll add before watching the video…this is essentially a slack belt system giving a convex edge. So angle isn’t going to be super exact just based off that. I love this setup though for getting damaged edges cleaned up.

What if: a 6000 belt with the worksharp?

Great video!! Thank you sharing.

Stropping is completed with the 12000 belt on tbe work sharp

I have the new worksharp mk2 I’m shopping a pair of 6 inch scissors I can’t seem to get them sharp. I ruined a couple any advice. Thank you.

I have a challenge for you. I am quite old with tremors. I would like to fashion a fulcrom that cushions the knife in "saddle that controls the drop slowly. maybe with some reducer gears to control the decent that is consistent. there you have it!

Nice honest opinion 👍 I have a Tormek T8 coming and the next order is going to be the rotating base, the machine cover and the MB-102 Multibase, which is the part you are talking about. Yes, it's purely for home use and the extended family. I already have the "Edge Pro" Professional Kit that I have been using for around 10 years now. It is an excellent product which will give you razor sharp edges to splitting hair if that is what you desire. It's only downfall is that if the knife edge is badly damaged then it takes a large amount of labour/time and stone material to get them back profiled. It also can't really do bigger items like axes/mower blades etc. Also the honing strop on the Tormek T8 will come really handy as its easy to give the knifes a quick touch up with the honing wheel.

I just purchased the worksharp Ken onion, and now I have perfect edges on 2 of my fixed blades, 2 of my Leatherman surges, and all of my folding knives. This has to be one of the best tools I’ve ever purchased

I’m thinking of buying a t-8, the black anniversary addition, any thoughts or ideas that might help?

Dziękuję , nie rozumiem co mowisz , ale jak pokazałeś to teraz wiem jak używać kontomierza 😊😊😊

Hi, what is that attachment you have for side grinding?…Is it a Tormek product? Cheers

Verygood explaination thank you

One thing that still puzzles me is that you use the same wheel for course and fine sharpening by re-profiling the wheel with the profiling stone. Doesn’t that excessively wears the wheel if keep changing it from course/fine multiple times a day ? What am I missing?

Cheap Chinese made knives when you are first starting out are a great learning experience. Learn all about bannana, twisted, pinched, soft steel, and other blade evil.

I have been sharpening friends' knives that had been used for years and sharpened free hand using steels or stones. From my small sample, 15-16 degrees seem to be the most common.

How do you sharpen the section of the blade closest to the handle? Where the top of the handle is higher than the bottom of the blade?

Thank you for the information…but very little detail on the difference of each wheel regarding their cutting capabilities

I have experienced a nasty stone grab and am looking for information if I can sharpen edge trailing on the Tormek. Using CBN 400 and 1000, also any idea about a 10" leather wheel instead of changing the rest angle.

I was never clear on how to use the angle setting jig until your video. Thank you for the clear instructions.

Speed talking, sure wish I could understand you. Nerves maybe or fast talker, your video go ahead I will find another site.

Does the stone come tru?

I assume that it would be easy enough to make an extended slide for that by juat getting round stock and threading it? I have a 12" brisket knife, and one of the only units I have found that can handle that is a wicked edge. I'd rather not spend the $$ on that one. This unit looks great for a home/hobby usee.

Any suggestions on sourcing CBN wheels for the Tormek T-8 in the United States. Reputable manufacturers or suppliers?

Nice video! Now that Dr. Vadim is gone rip… do you know where i can get same size cbn wheels?

Question for you, if you have the time. Your lift technique worked perfectly. I'm able to lift a burr for most of the blade, but as I approach the hilt, the burr decreases or disappears altogether. I've already learned (on crappy knives) that a slight delay near the hilt creates an uneven bevel. Do I then keep sharpening the entire blade until the burr appears near the hilt? Perhaps I've already answered my question! Thanks again.

Question: how do you determine where to place the jig on the knife, eg. large sweeping curve (like a skinning knife)? Or a deboning knife? I've watched the Tormek 'How to' videos and refer to the manual, but as a visual learner, was just wondering what you do. Thanks!

Perhaps its because we both speak 'Canadian' (!) but I finally understand the concept. Thanks again for the time you take to film and explain.

Interesting to see the difference but what about the use of the KJ-45 holding jig, whith I think one could pivot instead of of lifting?.?

Is there a Reason your using the old obsolote knife jig?

I have the same issue using a Worksharp Ken Onion Elite. I'm going to adapt your method. How do you deal with a kukri or any other weird shape knife?

Thank you

Thank you for a great video. I’ve started watching you over the last few days you’re putting out great Content. What Wheel are you using in this video? Thank you.

Excellent video, I have been having issues with the curve and nothing was ever clear on the handle angle. It makes sense. Thank You

Great video! However, the 0.5 difference could be your manual adjustment of the angle of the Elite; your movements when sharpening, etc... The fact that all of these bits, pieces, and parts come into play and you're only 0.5 off of dead center - you and the Elite are working near perfection together.

Thank you I’ll check out your links

Just found your channel. Great content, thank you. What software do you use to determine grinding angle
