Thanks for the video Peter. I like this machine. Question I like a machine that also has other options such as me running two of my Tormek diamond wheels, or other CDN attached to this particular machine. -Have you tried this with various other CBN wheels? -Have you tried it with Tormeks diamond wheels? * I understand you need a particular type of pin to attach to this unit when I want to run Tormek wheels. Is that correct?

Nope not for the price I seen online. But hey great for you.

If nothing else I love the box of bandaid in the background. Like some sort of Easter egg.

Actually, I’m sorry, buddy. It’s not these machines I’m questioning. It’s the tradesmen Bell over wheel and your other video.

Again, don’t get me wrong. I love belt over wheel convenience of application. I’m debating these machines. I too for knife sharpening. I love the torque. My wheels totally slow down if I’m adding two cbns on my Tormek T8. It’s unbelievable. It totally slows down to a stop. Maybe I should check my shaft my washers on my T8. Make sure everything is in place but it’s happened many times.

Question Peter, why is it that you’re the only one other than the company itself talking about these machines? Is there any other RUclips videos of others? Don’t get any wrong. Yours are very helpful. I was just wondering why aren’t others talking about these machines?

Great video thanks Pete. Do you know the ballpark price for the perfect edge system? I'm intrigued but I'm still far off something like that but it might be a good goal to shoot for.

Now there’s a Swedish company that only charges $20 US for shipping for their CBN wheels and they claim they can be run in water normal water tapwater. That company is slipakniven. Then I don’t know if you heard about the other German company that you can run them in normal tapwater as well they’re called shcleifjunkies I have them as well and all of Tormek’s. I like ones that clean, they can be run in water in a wet trough system

There are other RUclipsrs they get the cheaper ones from Wood Turners. They’re called the Spartan wheels. I have them as well. I don’t have the tornado My other friend Paul did a test on RUclips although Wood Turner doesn’t clean they can be running water. He has tested them to be OK to be run with water but he suggests to add honerite solution, I’ve tried it as well. They work fine.

I guess those are the tornado by Wood Turners

Actually, I see your phone number and email. I just found it up top in your entries.

Thank you for the video. I’m not finished going through it all but I had this thought in one of ask a question sir, at low-speed what would you say the RPM is, and that high-speed what is that RPM? Thank you upfront Phil.

I do agree these are great machines. I’ve been looking at them. Seems to me this freehanded is for more advance and experts such as yourself, sir. Me being a Tormek T8 user so far anyway I’m working with jigs and the universal support bars. So being more of a newbie and I certainly do like the two 250 MM wheel set up and then a, what was it 2 x 42” belt great convenience set up. But again if I wanted to hook up a water bath such as the tormek and a universal support bar with a jig so I can get the angle correct is that possible? These machines are great and I’m certain they’re made well but damn they’re expensive. Why wouldn’t one just use a combination of Harbour Frieghts let’s say for example one by 30s with some buffing wheels machines, and do the same process. And it’s a fraction of the cost. For example, presently I’m using 2 T8 machines, a Harbour Frieght one by 30, a toolker with variable speed one by 30. Anyway, I’m just trying to justify the cost for this machine although convenient on one machine are you still have to change out the belt. Yeah, I’ve considered this machine if we can be set up with a universal support bar and jig. Again, we’re not all professionals. but maybe this is more advanced users that don’t need an angle guide of sorts

Is there attachments for controlled angle, grinding for newbies?

I used my WEN for years with no issues.

Be proud tou were strong

It sounds like it's on its last legs. That would grate with me after about 20 minutes.

Bro just finished the main arc as a side character better than the mains😢

I love your content! Wow this is informational ❤

I watched the whole vid but never heard you explain the actual technique to remove the micro burr. Could you elaborate or point me to a video where it get's explained? Also I think the focus should be on edge retention testing, not on sharpness testing. A micro buss can get shaving sharp so you will still end up with Bess scores below 100. That means you can't make a distinction just by measuring sharpness. But a micro burr tends to fold over quick, hence giving you bad edge retention. So with edge retention testing, you could actually differentiate between a fully deburred knife or one with a remaining micro burr just by seeing how well the edge holds up.

As a Norwegian, I'd rather by anything but Swedish, but the Tormek is simply straight quality, and you have to respect that. If you can afford it, buy it, you won't regret it.

This makes sense for someone who’s in the business of sharpening knives. Can you recommend one for someone who does their own knives, family, friends knives only. For fun

You're a cool guy thanks for all your videos!

English or Spanish at the top text, and the song.

Well now I see it's not nice to comment on things I know nothing about, especially while drinking. My bad I was on the understanding that a roll pin was used so I'm taking responsibility for my arrogance and ignorance. I did however get on Cuttermasters web site and found this "The 250 mm wheels that drive high speed belts and reverse are now keyed to our axles." I hope you will except my sincere apology.

Parcel pil..

I enjoy your videos and am subscribed to your channel. FYI there is a difference between a keyway and a roll pin. A keyway is a square grove broached or machined on the wheel and shaft with a square piece of key stock locking the two together. A roll pin is a round spiral pin that goes into a round hole.

These machines are so amazing. This is on my 2026 Christmas list.

Bro unlocked english or spanish mode💀

I started with the original WEN wheel and found it to be really inconsistent with course parts in the wheel and smooth parts of the wheel. Some parts were "harder" and other parts were soft and shed out faster. Overall, it worked, but I felt that there had to be better stones out there. I moved to the Jet wheel, and thought that was an improvement for sure. It shed nicely, so I wasn't getting that burnishing with metal stuck in the wheel as much. I did notice that my first Jet wheel was super soft on one side and hard on the other so it went out of round quite quickly. The soft side was always course and the hard side was smooth and it made it hard to get a consistent grind on the blade. I bought a second one, and it was REALLY SOFT. I put that away and just called it a loss, and chalked it up to manufacturing inconsistency. My THIRD Jet wheel was really nice and consistent. I could control the grit and grind very well. After truing the wheel a couple times, I'm now into a section of the stone that is SUPER soft. It's usable, but I have to smooth it over a lot or it's too course for the work I do. And you are right about there being little "rocks" in parts of it that you can feel. Not great for a last pass on a knife as it puts large grooves into your fine edge. I've been wanting a stone that is really consistent all the way through in hardness and grit. I just got my first Tormek wheel and I'm excited to get it on. I'm really grateful for your extensive comparison on the wheels; doing your work over months and noting the characteristics of the wheels thouroughly and not just "unboxing". I do a few hundred knives a month at work, and when you're struggling with the stone, you really feel that impact your efficiency. I'll gladly pay the extra money to have less frustration. Anyways... Thanks for the great video.

Do you offer your sharpening services via mail?

put a neodym magnet in the water - it will pull and collect a lot of the metal flakes after removing them.

Really appreciate this mini series, your reviews and videos have helped me finalize a lot of things as I’m setting up a business and has given a lot of useful info. Definitley a great foundation if your looking to start a husjness

Same idea as turning a brake drum.

If a power drill can be reversed by simply throwing a switch, why aren’t bench grinders so equipped?

Great video. Thanks. Maybe raise the volume if possible? Hard to hear on my iPad. Did you fabricate the stand for the Rikon? Looks interesting.

He's just standing there MENECEINGLY

How does it becomes out of round in the first place?

Felt this Aura all the way from Instagram

Stand proud you were Strong 😂

Bro think he was kurt cobain

Bro is training to destroy humanity.

Still a great video with some great tips. I'm flat out getting 400 knives per wheel. If my maths is correct (53,000/17) you're getting about 3,352 knives per wheel! That's extraordinary! Must be your edge trailing method. I'm guessing you probably also grind at one grit without changing the grit much. I change the grit from rough to smooth(er) on almost every knife but I had no idea it was costing me $45,000 in lost income per wheel. I'm in shock. Unless I've missed something. I miss a lot of things.

Stand proud Rat, You are Strong Felt his aura radiating as soon as I got a look at him

Can you install a diamond wheel or cbn wheel on a WEN?

😂 I sharp 10000 knives weekly since 2015

hi, can you just turn the grinder backwards, instead of taking it apart?

Hi. I’m doing a popup vending trailer conversion. I like your awning design. Where did you get the brackets?

Standing on business 🔥💯🧬🪲
