Bring Old Carpenter's Chisel Back to Life with Belt Sander • Complete Sharpening Series Video 6

- AskWoodMan.com/ This is the sixth video in my complete sharpening series. In this series I will use the following tools and machines: Makita 9820 electric water stone with an after market sharpening jig, Bosch belt sander, Porter Cable belt sander, Mitutoyo combination square, General Sharpening Jig, DMT Diamond Stones, and various chisels, plane irons and scrapers.
In this sixth video I take an old chisel and bring it back to life using a 4" X 24" belt sander and 120 grit paper. It's a good idea to grind as much as possible before taking your chisels to the diamond stones. This is a great alternative for those that do not own a Makita 9820-2 Horizontal Wet Wheel. You'll be amazed how quickly you can get your chisels back to a 25 degree bevel using this technique. The key is to have a light touch and also to keep the chisel steel from overheating. When steel overheats it can weaken and damage your tool. This will affect the hardness properties of your knife, which means it won't cut as well.
This video is just one in the series where Allan Little shows all his sharpening techniques that he has refined in the last 25 plus years to attain the sharpest chisels, plane irons and scrapers. This series will show not only how to hone and sharpen using the diamond stones, but also how to grind on the Makita 9820 course wheel as well as belt sanders. This series ends with chisels, plane irons and scraper demonstrations.

A belt sander is an amazing tool. It can do fine delicate work or get positively medieval if necessary. Fantastic for end grain.
It's nice to see someone do this without a fancy jig, thanks.
Excellent video. Thanks for illumination. 😊
@wdworking You will see in the later videos just how good it is. I was shocked during the demo portion how well it cut. I am using it on a regular basis I am so pleased with it.
I have a chisel that I have been renewing like this since 1977. It is a little shorter than it used to be, but it still works great.
Nice work.
Love the train whistle in the background
That is the Missouri Pacific that goes right through downtown Austin.
I may have mentioned to you earlier that I also have the sanding frame for the Bosch. It is one of the reasons I bought that machine in the first place. I did a pretty major overhaul on mine last summer and it seems to be fine. I use mine mostly for metal now. I really like the 4x24 size. Great selection of belts at good prices.

Very steady hands. Nice how the grind is a perfect 90 at both point and heel.
Check out the new videos about using the new sharpening jig I invented I call the Ultimate Sharpening Jig. People are using it to sharpen jointer knives because of the incredible flexibility of the angle adjustment and tool holding mechanism. The videos are here on my channel and also on VerySuperCool Tools vsctools(dot)com. Thanks for watching and writing. Allan
waste not, want not. great video!
Nice work Man Quality Joiner 👍
Think your dog was saying there’s no raspberries left- think that’s what they were eating in the background.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for the video. I'll try using 120 grit first.
I'm just getting back into woodworking and have a number of tools that need to be tuned up. This looks like a great way to deal with sharpening to get it close so as to use whatever your preferred way is to do fine honing of the blade. Thanks for video it will save me a lot of time.
I do have a question as to the direction the belt is traveling? It looks like the point of the blade is pointing against the direction th e sand paper is traveling. I would have thought that would cut the belt as the blade get sharp. Am I missing shaken or are you doing something to avoid this from happening?
Looks like a convex grind
Next tool has to be a Belt Sander mainly for signs ( I need to sell just a few more!) Will keep you informed !!!! of course
All the best Richard
Hi Woodman, Great Job and a nice education video.
Hey partner, do you mind enabling auto-generated captions for this video?
A belt sander is an awesome tool for woodworking and for doing stuff like this.
I have that little baby Porter Cable I show in this series that is fantastic for pruning shears and axes. You can watch the sales and pick one up for $85.
@materiasacra No was just adjusting the camera. I used that belt the whole time and it had some life left in for some other grinding as well. I like portable belt sanders because they cut really fast and the belts are not expensive. I almost always use that Bosch upside down. It is so heavy and powerful it is hard to control. Write me at akswoodman @ gmail and I will send you pics of clamping setups for the beltsander.
Quite gud
Really useful vid. Thanks a bunch
Great series, this is so helpful. Would you ever sharpen planer/jointer knives using a similar method if you did not have access to the Makita?
Good video! 👍👍
I love me m Bosch 24x4 sander I'm just ticked off they stopped making it. Mine is getting kinda of ratty the belt comes off and the adjuster is so tight I have to use a pliers to move it. Other than that still works great. It's been through thousands of homes.
@DatBluesGuy And so tools like scorps, inshaves, draw knives, adzes, joining axes which all work by cutting towards the craftsman are too unsafe to use in your world. So I guess no chip carving tools either? No whittling with a pocket knife?
@DatBluesGuy I guess you are really going to have a fit when you see me grind lathe tools on a 10" bench grinder. The edge could maybe possibly perhaps catch.
Hi friend,
spectacular video, I have a hitachi sb 110 sander, similar to yours, the
inheritance of my dad, but it has a problem, after 5 minutes of use,
without forcing with additional weight, just making it work with the
weight of The machine is cut THE BANDS, this is
all original and the bands are new and the measure that correspond, to
my understanding the band heats up and cuts in the UNION or PACKAGE, you
can tell me if something similar happens to you ?, service here In my country there is not and since you are a professional you can help me !!! And is a new machine that almost has no use, greetings Marisa
It`s seem a shame that you replace that expensive " Swiss Champ " Just because the main blade is worn down, Perhaps ? you could remove the scales, Drill out the rivets, Then replace the main blade { Or even add one instead of say ? The fish disgorger } With blades taken from a Chinese copy penknife { Just a few dollars each } Then put back together with some sort of small nut and bolt ? The scales can also be replaced with a thick layer of strong model glue which is my preference
Doesn't the swiss army knife have a scraper? Lol I too have shop knives used roughly
Swiss knife ad.....
good thing there's no shortage of hall monitors on youtube
a wire wheel works great.
Disagree. A wire wheel blunts all the crisp facets.
@DatBluesGuy Watched the referenced portion. Just don't see it. And why would I be in your shop?
haha your dog in the back left is trying to eat something
Should I get a nice belt sander to use it to get the nicks out of my axes.
6:12 Hello from Melbourne, Australia. I see a kangaroo. :)
That is a Wallaby yogurt container. Pretty popular brand nationwide here.
RE: comment "why would I be in your shop" Ha HA gold. Mind you if you wre in my shop I would have let you use my Einhiill grinder with a wire brush !!!! Have had some Texas heat here (hit the 30s)!! I suppose to you thats a chilly day! had shirt tails out like you did, she nearly had me.I could see u shaking ur head. No need for leather apron its RAINING again ENGLAND= vest, shirt and jumper tucked in! Use the grinder ++++ for shaping mainly signs. Restoring old tools nothing likeit gr8t fun
Yep same question as Petelo Tuipulotu ;o)
Hi Rob. I just answered Petelo. I miss that comment so thank for reminding me. Are you in the US?
UK I'm afraid although eBay can work wonders :0)

Don't hesitate to write me at askwoodman@gmail.com if you want to bounce a potential purchase off someone. Allan
@attainableapex Yes they like to graze. I have a dachshund that can find something to snack on a bed of rocks.
MacGyver!
Hey mate, where did you get that kind of combination square from? and what brand is it? etc. would love to get my hands on one of those.
I think it would be very useful on building sites in Australia
Hi Petelo. Sorry for the late reply. That is the protractor head of a combination square set. It is a Mitutoyo from Japan. The other really high quality brand is Starrett. But many companies have them available in all ranges of price and accuracy. That set I have is almost 30 years old and is still in fantastic shape. Machine shop supply, Amazon and Ebay are a good place to look for them new and used. Truly a shop essential.
Are you in the US?
Thanks for the info Allan. funnily enough i saw a protractor head in the hardware store yesterday, though it was a cheap chinese one, I live in Australia
Petelo Tuipulotu
I think the Japanese Mitutoyo are the best. They make hardened and plain cast. Mine are the hardened and still look and work great after many years of active use. I would not hesitate to buy the Japanese versions used on ebay. A combination square set is one of the most important tools I have in my shop. Keep me posted on your search. Let me know if I can help. Allan

Did you put any kind of oil or wax on after you cleaned it up?
I generally use mineral oil to coat my chisels after sharpening. Sometimes Zoom Spout Oil. Wax in any form is banned from shop. It is a grime attracting contaminant.
jimjam Ha q
Oh.. if you'll be replacing your swisschamp let me buy it from you, replacing the blade is very cheap ._. I can get it done for like... I don't know, 4$ or so..
oh my god, hes a grown man im sure he knows what hes doing, he didnt cut his fingers did he??
Lol I abuse my all of my knives except my case knife
what speed on the sander ?
ginger tompuss
Most have 1 speed
Just be gentle. Don’t bear down the chisel
Light touch !!
