    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.

  • @dmelfa1
    @dmelfa1 4 месяца назад

    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?

    • @greatedgeltd
      @greatedgeltd 4 месяца назад

      Intuitively it would seem so, but in practice very little material is removed, and as long as you have a way to accurately measure wheel diameter you can use it for a long time. I would guess more knives than a CBN wheel but I don’t have data to support that.

    • @ToreDL87
      @ToreDL87 Месяц назад

      One thing you could do is get two wheels, one for fine sharpening and one for course, simply swap between the two. Or even two Tormek's, one lower grade 100-200 dollar one used for course, and a new higher grade one for fine precision work.

    @JamesFunkify 5 месяцев назад

    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.

    • @greatedgeltd
      @greatedgeltd 5 месяцев назад

      That part of the blade is tricky to get just because it has less contact time. If it is the only part not to have a burr, what I do is dwell on that part - moving the knife slowly - and then once I’m clear of it I move much faster. That allows to not over grind the part of the knife that already has a burr, but also keep it smoothly blended in with the part you are having to apply extra time to… I hope that makes sense. It can sometimes help to apply a bit of marker to the blade as well, just so you can see where the area of focus is.

      Convex and concave edges are done by lifting and lowering the handle respectively - I have a video about the latter from a few months ago (called ‘sharpening concave edges on a tormek, or something like that)… Concave is definitely trickier because the point of contact for grinding is so small, and when you have concave and convert on one blade that is trickiest of all to blend it all in smoothly. Hopefully this video and that other one will help, but it’s certainly something that needs practice…. Good luck!
