Sharpening Wheel For Razor Sharp Blades! MDF
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2017
- Sharpening has never been so easy! Stones are great but also very expensive and time consuming. With this MDF wheel it takes a matter of minutes and the material is extremely cheap. I saw many using and making wheels like this one, too many to name them all, if you want to make it and you are looking for more information a quick search here on youtube will give you plenty options :)
Rate, share and all that good stuff guys :)
Thanks!

Now, I'm a lazy prick, so if I can get max results with min effort, i'll try it. I needed something, since I suck on a whetstone. So I bought a Lansky. That was good. Finally, I could get a shaving sharp edge, but I wasn't consistent and still needed to spend considerable time doing it. Anyways, found a 20 mm thick piece of plywood today and gave this a go. Holy crap! I shit you not.....3 kitchen knives to scary sharp in 90 seconds. On my Lansky, that would have taken 30 mins and not as sharp.....not even close. I love trying lots of youtube tips and tricks and some are ok, some suck, but this has got to be up there with the best I've ever come across. Thanks for sharing.....made my day!
Haha!! So glad to hear that Mike! :) Thank you a lot :)
Mike Wasowski haha mike wasowski.... isn’t that the guy from monsters inc?
I use the lanky system, and it's amazing. However, you're right about the time it takes. I'd say 30 minutes is generous! I'd recommend getting the sapphire lanky stone. I've never had a sharper knife, but it takes me about 2 hours.
Nonetheless, this rouge method is fantastic. A video describing angle, pressure, and what you're actually doing would be a good idea, too.
Possibly build a jig for us idiots.

@ The edge of either MDF or plywood will have lots of end-grain wood fibers - which is what carries the buffing compound, and rubs on the metal of the knife blade edge. There's really not too much difference in the amount, nor angle of the edge's wood fibers between the two.

Back when this process was new, the wheel was made of plywood and the compound was Silverline Fine White. I ordered the compound about a decade ago and plan to actually make this wheel someday. It's amazing how time passes.
A sharp edge is often described as "Two perfect surfaces meeting together" and polishing them is a very good way to get close to that concept.
Great project!
Thank you sir :)
Knife building friend of mine showed me how to do that with a wheel made out of chip board a long time ago. Never considered MDF . Thanks for sharing.
Your MDF wheel is a marvelous idea. It works well and gives a perfect burr to my knives. What i did in my setup is i use a grinder with variable speed to make it more precise. Also i polish on the back so the wheel spins upward. In case my knife is caught in the wheel, it just fly upwards and away from me. Thank you so much for sharing.
Amazing! Bro…you successfully just brought every stone and sharpening system down single handedly! I so wish I could have this, and because of how easy it is to make, I CAN! Thank you!
Absolutely one of the best videos ive seen demonstrating this. Great work !
that's a great idea thanks for sharing. I found that a buffing wheel is brilliant for restoring or finishing a cutting edge.
i've seen several knife sharpening builds this is by far the simplest i will have to try thankyou for sharing
Thanks man :) You won't regret :)
The top edge of a car door window works also
This is incredible dude! Totally gonna go find some old motor to strap some MDF to now!
I’m always impressed at peoples building abilities ...... thanks for encouraging me to try something new for myself!
I'm more shocked howmuch effort and time he put into it. Way to much for me lol
I am in need of this. I will be making one of these this week. Great vid. I cannot wait to try this out.
I can't believe that worked! I will do a mdf wheel on the lathe and give it a try! Thanks for the idea 👍🏼
How'd it go?
Yep! What Mike said! I'm building one soon. I spend an hour on wood chisels and blades for planes and they're sharp but poor. Wit the help of a hammer I can get a jagged cut through paper(LOL). This will put me back on the job where the tools are 90% of the craft . Cheers Mr.. Top effort thanks.
quick simple and obviously effective, amazing job
Thanks man :) :)
Been using the compressed cardboard wheels similar to this for years. I run them backwards on a grinder motor so the rotation is moving away from the edge just as you do. There may be a bit more heat with MDF due to a higher friction coefficient, so a lighter touch may be required. The system comes with two wheels, one for sharpening with 300 grit powdered carbide glued on the wheel face. The other is plain for stropping with compound. I now wear a faceshield due to having a 14" Khukuri thrown into my face just below my nose. Luckily it was the spine that stuck me and not the edge. Still had to get stitches and clean underwear. I also run a foot pedal switch.
Damn! :( I'm sorry for you bro... I hope you recovered fast!
Yeah, just a few stitches at the ER that left a non-noticeable scar under a nostril. But the mental aspect of it still haunts me every time I fire up that motor. I now make sure my better half checks in on me in the shop. Been working with machines for 45 years and that was the first injury. Could have been my last....
You say 300 grit. Is that close to jewelry Sam or rouse, polishing compound? It looked like the sharp edge was facing rotation? Is that correct?
@@placitas52 milk ml? NJ omni hi by by DJ no 9
@@placitas52 no ...away from edge
I like your idea, the way you used a pre drilled peace to make a perfectly vertical hole on the disc
That's the idea I'm taking first out of this video.
Gonna make a set of pre-drilled holes of my commonly used drill bits on a bench press, to use with a regular drill.
what a useful, helpful, valuable, practical tip!
Damn yet another of your projects going straight onto my to do list! Well done as always!
Haha! :D Great man :) Thank you a lot :)
Sir, EXCELLENT and simple. Thank you Sir, for sharing this idea with us.
Oscar
Great idea I have a spare 6 in grinder I will convert over to this now.
Excellent video and process. Thank you for sharing.
can't believe how well this works!!!😃😃👍👍
You made this man? :)
yes i did almost as per video (a little smaller) I now have a 4" square of bare skin on my arm from the newly share carving knife

The best so far, Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
Thanks man! :D You too
This is brilliant. I use plywood wheels to polish jade and other stone - pulled fibers kill them after awhile. Next time I'm trying MDF - the stuff is hard and UNIFORM - what a great idea!
Yeah! :) Thanks man, the idea is not mine anyway ;) Have fun!
Great job,and you are very skillfull in holding the knife at the correct angle :-) liked!
Awesome Truly Awesome, Cant wait to set this up in my shed, Thanks for sharing.
Baz (uk).
Thank you man! :)
I was considering buying a set of expensive Japanese whetstones but now I you came up with this.... Wow!
YES! Those wheels work so great!
Yeah!!! :) :)
Great idea 👍 I didn't expect wood to make so good job
Great video! I'm going to have to make one of these!
Thank you brother :) super useful!
One of the most helpful videos I've seen and no talking 👍👍 awesome 👌👌
This is it! Old idea that works better than All the fancy sharpeners and beats them in speed and price.
Yeah! :) Agree
It won't establish angles on a badly worn blade, but it will hone an edge pretty well.
Sweet! That was great! 👌👍 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you my friend :)
Great video,I have also seen sharping wheel's made from dance cardboard, or laminated leather!
Simply explained and simple to do. Thanks
Thanks!
Excellent video and tutorial, thanks!
Nice work!
Thank you!! :)
better half very engine
In my feed had to watch I think I'm hooked I think it's the music are you doing subliminal, LOL good vid
That looks like a concave grind. I do convex on my blades. I did like the trick on the drilling the holes with a hand drill.
I absolutely LOVE this.
I'm a fish cutter.
I wish I could get my knives that sharp.
Wow that's awesome! I'm going to try and make this too.
this is great man thanks for sharing
Thank you! :)
Awesome project Brother I need that! haha
Haha! :D Thank you my friend!
@@BlackBeardProjects does motor rpm matter?
Thank you so much for getting back to me. Much appreciated. I think i have got it now. I'm assuming you hold the knife horizontal at all times and just move it back toward you and down the wheel to the angle selected. On another video I saw a fellow that had a piece of armature wire at the position he wanted to grind. Now that makes sense. Again, thank you.
very instructive and nicely made vid mate. thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mark!
Cool man, never seen the details of this before, add that to the project list. You fucking rock bro!
Haha!!! Thanks Matt!!! xD
Thats on my to do list. You made it look too easy. Well done.
Thanks man! :)
That's freakin genius!!!!!
Haha! Thanks bro :)
Great tool. Try some 1 micron diamond paste (ebay about 2 bucks) for extra sharpness and shine. Also penetrates the wheel and lasts much longer than buffing sticks.
I made two of these set up on a double wheel grinder and can tell you it only takes one absent minded moment to lay the knife edge back to front on the wheel and it could be your last lol.
Awesome... it works like magic,. and after watching this video I have to make one to sharpen my knives ;-) I have just subscribed!
Grat!! :) Thank you a lot man :) :)
I've seen good MDF sharpener builds but that portable lathe/tool rest device is brilliant! Please make a video of that!
Hehe... I made that for a very different purpose xD Here is where I built it: ruclips.net/video/1VwN3BtWF50/видео.html
Black Beard Projects .
this video is so damn satisfying! I'm a huge knife freak, and.. yo! this video put me in a good ass mood!! great video
Thank you a lot mate :) I'm glad!
I am a printer by trade and cutting and folding paper is my gig. I can attest to wood fibers ability to wear away steel. Even tungsten and hard chrome surrender over time with just paper and a little moisture and a gentle rubbing action. Using a compound to assist, no contest.
I'm curious about the useful life of this type of wheel. What has been your experience?
And an unrelated question: how do you think the Maguire's buffing and polishing compounds would work to produce a dazzling mirror finish?
I thought you were gonna use the melamine side like a sanding wheel. That makes sense though! MDF is like an extremely fine polisher. Cool idea
simple but super effective and cheap!👍🏻
Thank you sir :)
Nice video very simple but great results
love you and your ideas
Haha thank you my friend :)
Many thanks for this video in which you show how to get the job done with basic tools that are in most people's toolbox. Simple and elegant.
*WOW!* Just wow. Now I have a use for that polishing 'soap' bar that has been languishing in a cupboard in my home workshop for years ...
That is a cheap and effective solution. THANKS!
That's interesting! High speed can polish and sharp even using such soft materials :)
Yeah! :D Thanks man :)
Dural Metalurg just think of what a leather strap does
I always recommend putting a drop of mineral oil on this then running it so it spreads on a rag! Best way to spread compound I’ve found.
First
Because of the bell button man
AWESOME AS ALWAYS
Thanks bro
Where your ideas come from, wonderful
I've seen these wheels many times here on youtube :)
Awesome definitely going to try this.
Watching that burr come up on that last knife was a work of beauty
I love the music in this one. Great vid too
Thank you a lot man :)
Hi, I really liked your video, help me.
I sharpen hairdressing scissors, would you have to use stone first to make a perfect edge? If so, would emery stone have to be used?
I’m going to have to try this. Thanks BBP😄
Thanks for the quick reply! Great videos Subscribed .
Thanks! :)
Cool, I made a video about this for the wood lathe and it works awesome.
Lots of knife nerd criticism though!
Hey, do you think it would work for gouges? i'm looking for a cheap and easy solution.. Thanks
gave up on regritting the mdf wheel, made an 8" plywood wheel, glued on 240 grit emery sandpaper, lasting over 50 sharpening and still going without any signs of failing!!!!
great project my friend I like that second knife the best though it's a classic. By the way I still haven't got a sticker from you just to update you.
Thank you mate! :) I'm gonna send them to you again monday ;)
Ideia grandiosa parabéns amigo valeu por compartilhar.
Thank you :)
Just made one myself, just need to wait for white polish compound to arrive. Hope it works :)
I made this, works great.
Yeah!! :D
I use a buffing wheel with jeweler's rouge. Does a great job.
Hello Black Beard! I have a few cuestions on same thing... At what RPM has to go the motor? Is that a very important thing? I mean, i have a electric grass cutter motor (a small one) but it has high revolutions... more power instead speed or a mix of power with speed? (like 1hp motor) THANKS!!! GREAT GREAT VIDEO!
What's interesting is you actually where able to put a bevel on those knifes with only a polish compound...! That was amazing
I'd love to do this for my mini polisher!
One thing confuses me. You must have a drill press to have made the straight holes in the drilling jig (unless someone else made it for you). If so, why didn’t you use it for the centre hole?
Also put self sticking sandpaper on the front of the wheel. I use that just as much.
And if you out a polishing wheel on the other side you can make your blad look good too. I have both.
I jurst made one,and it works wonderful!!
Glad to hear that man :) Thank you!
Just mdf nothing else?
Great idea! 👍
Interesting. MDF itself is also abrasive. It's notoriously hard on cutting tools.
Awesome gonna build myself one now
Great! :) Have fun man
This an old trick but its a good one because any one can sharpen a knife with this method. I have made many knives over the years and guitars made from magnesium as well lots of other useful artwork and tools Im going to subscribe.
That vise! Cool.....salvaged-resto?
**Edit:
Just found the resto video. That was neat.
Thank you so much ! I will make one like yours !
The thing using MDF means any way you 'shape it', there is even grain available for holding the compound, so turning specific shapes into profile means you can do curved gouges, and any non flat cutting tool. I made one with variable curve in it, from large radius to smaller, so many different curved chisels can be done in seconds..
Так чего он использовал? Я ноль,желательно с разжевкой,плиз))
My eyes started itching when you were truing up that wheel. Pavlovian reaction to MDF dust.
ottimo!!
:D
I use a fully stitched buffing wheel for my wood chisels and plane irons on a 10" bench grinder. The buffing wheel is actually 8" but make the point about the size of bench grinder because you can stall the wheel with inadequate motors. I find it only works with good quality steels as it rolls the edge on cheaper tools. I have a set of Chinese wood carving chisels I paid about $50 for, and buffing them after sharpening them on a 10" CBN wheel immediately dulled them. You do need to be careful doing this with wood chisels as it will put a tiny curve on the underside of the chisel if you work it too hard, and the chisel will not be flat to the workpiece. Easily fixed by re-sharpening them - I use DTM diamond plates - and remember to use light pressure on the underside. I probably use this method of honing about 20 times before reconditioning with the DTM plates to get the angles nice. BTW rather than slicing the paper at an angle, try approaching square on to the paper, That;s my test for truly sharp.
Hey. Thank you for the video. please tell me what you rubbed the disk for sharpening knives
Blackheads, you GENIUS!
Very interesting concept thank for sharing
