- čas přidán 3. 08. 2020
- Large animal clipper blades are used to shear and clip sheep, llamas, alpacas, goats, large dogs, cows, horses and even exotic zoo animals. These blades are sharpened a little differently than other standard clipper blades. Bonnie Megowan demonstrates the difficulties of sharpening these blades and the problems these type of large animal blades present the average clipper blade sharpener. #sharpening

Abraços do Brasil vcs são muito bons
I need one of these for my berniedoodle
Love your signing for timing ❤
The song changes with the seasons.
You do great work.. you truly care about the end product and it working well for the customer. Quality over quantity and it’s great to see
I appreciate that!
Great video as always Bonnie and a wonderful reference. I do not do a lot of these because there is not a large market for these types of blades in my area. However, these blades do come into the shop from time to time and they can be very time consuming. They require a lot of cleaning and multiple charges on the wheel. Definitely not my favorite sharpening task but always challenging.
So true!
Excellent video. I wish you were around years ago
I was, but I didn't know what I do now so it wouldn't have done you any good.
Awesome vidio.
Glad you enjoyed it
Is it beneficial to use the flat side of the hone when sharpening big animal clippers?
I love this video!! I went down and bought sonic clear and rust cleaner but I can’t find those baskets? I went to dollar general and a couple other places do you have any idea what they’d use them for otherwise? Thank you
It might have been Family Dollar or Dollar General. I cut them in half, they come two hooked together with a handle.
Awesome video. You got lucky on that blade , I had one jump all over the inside of my van one day. I hate when that happens.
I am a mobile blade shear knifes surgical etc sharper.
Great video.
Thanks
Hi Eagle Eye, I'm a knife/scissor/tool sharpener in New Zealand. Just curious, what does your surgical sharpening involve? What kind of tools do you sharpen there, what sort of industries?
I have found a good light and good magnification are essential
Yes they are!
Do you share on the Bonika website about where to purchase the rust remover and cleaners?
The rust remover is on Amazon and other places.. We sell H42 on our website www.bonika.com
What is the type of metal the cylinder is made of!!!
What are the materials that you spray and wipe the cylinder with before working on it?
Please reply..I am from Syria
I wiped the rub block off with simple alcohol. The rub block can be ordered. It is made of steel and very flat.
You think you could do these on the little red honer?
I know people who have. This was our first clipper hone and we used them at the stables here in Atlanta since it was portable.
I found that I used the Combs on the freshly charged plate and the Cutters after it's been used for a while
I'll start doing the combs first. The fresh grit will work better on the large comb it seems.
Hello. what type of laser light is that, also what solution do you have in your wash tank? Thanks in advance :o)
The laser light is the Stanley brand and is easily found at many hardware stores. I use a diluted solution of Evaporust in my ultrasonic cleaner. About 1/3rd water. We don't sell Evaporust, but you can order in on line.
@@BonikaShears Thank you!
Sheep shearing metal has a concave grind. Shearing sharpening machines have a convex face. Combs and cutters are held in different positions relative to the convexity. Flat grinding will produce a comb and cutter that works briefly but will heat very quickly. A properly sharpened comb should do 50 sheep and a cutter 25.
Yes, our equipment will put a hollow into the blades. You are right about the concave grind.
The heiniger machine for sheep llama etc is totally different from the Nebraska system, I use a heiniger type plate machine for pet and horse, but not sheep, the sheep machine is vertical and uses a pendulum cutter holder. There are videos on line, usually Australian demonstrating these. The discs are grit on paper glued to the rotating disc the comb and cutter use different arcs on the pendulum. I steer clear of these as the geometry is totally different.

I had trouble translating. Are you asking the grit on the Nebraska blades machine?
Nice darling
Thank you sweetie.
Hello. 🙏🏽 what oil, spray, & grit do you use while charging your plate? 🙏🏽
H42 to clean. Lard oil to hold the grit.
Thank u so much. U are so sweet. I love watching your videos. 🙏🏽
Everybody talk about how to set blades but nobody tell you about repair or where to get parts on shearing Clippers..
I can't help you there either. Check with the Edge Pro.
I've done many of these and they can be very time consuming and use a lot of grit.
I don't like then. Jason Sturm says sometimes he must recharge the plate before he finishes one blade.
@@BonikaShears Yes that is my experience as well. I actually started using a 400 grit diamond plat for initial sharpening and then finish up on my wheel. Still very time consuming.
Are you singing Bonnie? :D
Yes. It's "Round an round, round and round..."
I was just wondering.... is there music playing... but then the music shits off when you stop sharpening. I sing while I'm sharpening too... usually Fleetwood Mac or Dolly Parton hahah
You said that they are flat.
Or not?
You need to do a video on how to drag out a 4 minute video into a half hour...
I did one. But. It was 3 hours long.
