For removing large amounts of metal, it is recommended to work against the direction of the grinding stone. For finer and more accurate work, grinding with the direction of the wheel is advised
Hi Cliff, great to see you back in the shed making some swarf, even if tiny bits. After what you have been through it must have been a tonic! Great start to the new chapter, you now have some well ground tools to aid the re-building work. Cheers, Jon
Hi Cliff.Glad you like the machine, if even not a Tormek.In my experience as a self taught woodworker you see a new world when after working with dull tools for many years you happend to discover what a sharp tool can do.Getting better.Thank you.
Great review Cliff, it looks like a great addition. I had the big green Tormek and got it maybe twenty odd years ago at the Axminster Power Tool show in Exeter. Was fantastic for flat edge and turning tools and would still have it now except I sold it and replaced with the Sorby Pro Edge a couple years back. I would recommend making or acquiring a diamond dresser as you suggested I believe it does make a difference. As someone else said yes they soak up a lot of water. With regard to the stone grader it’s my understanding you need to apply a fair bit of pressure onto the stone for maybe 15-20 seconds. I used to rest mine against the metal support and push it into the wheel quite hard to regrade. This was how the Tormek rep said to do it. Presume it’s the same with the sheppach . Anyway good luck with it so nice to have sharp tools.
Thanks for sharing your initial experience with this device. Had been wondering if this style of sharpener were worth purchasing. Looking forward to more adventures as you progress with your shed rebuild.
Hi Cliff I had the same problem with the chisels not sharpening square even if you pushed the chisel right up against the stop and like you I had to tap the chisel to get it square. The tool rest can be moved to the other side of the machine when you are using the honing wheel but this relies on you being able to access both sides of the machine. Good to see you back doing something other than clearing up.
Wow. That’s was unexpected. The stone soaked up an incredible amount of water. Shame about the wobble in the stone. Overall looks like a very useful machine. 👏👏👍😀
Cheers Rob, my chisels have not looked so good since they left the factory! never been one of my strong points, too keen to get on with what I've been using them on! 🙂ATB Cliff
Shouldn’t the grinding wheel rotate away from the sharp tool edge ? In the video it’s working towards the edge which would move the grit against the sharping ?
Interesting! I just use a set of 3 diamond plates and then a leather strop with a little polishing compound on it, just putting on one angle, no bevel, mostly copying the methods of Paul Sellers from his RUclips videos and almost never using a grind stone. Some of the RUclips folk like to use mdf wheels in a grinder or fixed down drill with polishing compound, but for the amount of sharpening I do, the diamond plates work well and the edges I get easily cut paper. My biggest sin is carrying on when I know the edge has been compromised rather than stopping to sharpen, so I can see the advantages of having something setup that is little effort to use and gives quick results. Thanks for sharing!
Hole drilled Square, I think I know what you mean. I have the Tormak version, it’s somewhere in the shed, they do soak a lot of water up, have to be careful in winter ya stone don’t freeze
Hi Cliff, I have subscribed as I enjoyed your approach to the 300vs. Have decided that I will get one asap. I reckon that unless you have the dosh for a Tormec then you have to and can put up with the machine's foibles and such given time and experience. Now to watch your other vids.

Thanks for that Andy, makes so much sense to hold the stone grader against the rest, probably why it didn't occur to me! :-),
All the best,
Cliff
Looks like a quality machine Cliff, great to see you back at it in the old shed.
Best wishes, Dean.
Great To Have You Back Cliff , I Must Admit , I'm Not At All Impressed With The Scheppach 3000 Coming In The Shape It Did !
The great China-ing

Nice little machine, would be interesting to see if it would be useful for doing up lathe tooling too. Glad to see you back at it as you can again.
As an old fitter, when mounting a new wheel on a tool and cutter or surface grinder a diamond dressing point is used to true the wheel.cheers
Hello cliff great video. Can you do a video on woodturning chisels sharpening please.
Wow. That’s was unexpected. The stone soaked up an incredible amount of water. Shame about the wobble in the stone. Overall looks like a very useful machine. 👏👏👍😀
Handy sharpener Cliff. Nice to get accurately ground blades again. I think we all need one of these. Cheers Rob

Definitely an extravagance for the amount of sharpening I'll do, but a joy to use!

When you say it like that,🤔.
Get that Tormek uncovered and in use, is there nothing that's not in that shed of yours?
Atb,
Cliff
@@CliffsShed space. I don’t have space in there
@@Man-in-da-shed 😆😆😆
Thanks for the video Cliff. It's goood you are looking to the future. Keep safe and stay well.
Thanks Colin,
ATB,

Good one . I have often thought about picking one of those up to use on finishing lathe tooling .
Looks mighty handy Cliff, i don't do wood work, my magnetic broom won't pick the swarf up mate lol.
Nice review, Cliff. I hope things are coming together for you again. Greetings and best wishes (from Adelaide, Australia).
Thanks, feel like I'm on the up now, been doing stuff which isn't published yet, but getting there, slowly!
Atb,
Cliff
A lovely tool. Best regards
Frank
Cliff that thing looks sweet. Will be cool to see it in action!
Great to see you back pottering. Could you square the chisel against the side of the wheel. Like you would a parting tool against a chuck?
Hello Cliff,
An interesting machine... I can that you will make many attachments so it become a truly versatile machine...
Take care.

Thanks Bob,
I am very pleased with it, never had a tormek so can't compare to it, but my chisels and planes have never been better!

Shout out to the present giver.
look i nice tool thanks four the good vid on your channel keep up the good vids thanks lee
Cliff dont forget to flatten the back for a razor edge!
I will, and when I have a bit more time I can see a rabbit hole of sharpening time coming up!
ATB,
Cliff
Cliff I would be sending that right back to the shop mate not impressed at all
Not seen Cliff for a good while. Anyone know how he’s doing or if there’s been any progress?
I take it you didn’t watch to the end where he says despite the wobble, it’s done a good job and he’s very impressed. Also, it’s a present.
