I have been watching a lot of sharpening with belts, and this is one of the best, nice and slow to stay in the same angle, great technique

I feel like I just watched an artist at work. Quite professional.

Wonderful video! You can tell you did a wonderful job with that edge. You paper test at the end with newspaper... what a difference from most you see hacking through copier paper! Is that belt/ buffer home- made ? Does it use a planetary gear in the drum end ? I see the belt turns quite slow. What is the SFM ? Thanks for the video and your time.

Excellent job at sharpening. I caution you though about your hair, if it gets caught in that wheel you are in big trouble, please put it up and out of the way. It could literally rip your scalp off. Once again nice technique.

Which belt have you used for sharpening a knife. Please give manufacturer's name.

Excellent ! Where can I order this belt grinder ?

Hi Brian, great video. Is multitool spinning away from you? If so, did you need to reverse the grinder rotation direction?

Could you tell us a bit more about the belt sander please? Manufacturer, model? Thanks for the inspiration.

Anyone know what that rectangular bar is that he uses at the end, right before he finishes with the leather strop?

I'm having no luck finding grits higher than 400 for 4 in X 36 in sander. Can anybody point me to a source? Please and thank you.

Do my eyes deceive me? That machine appears to be running unusually slow.

Excellent demonstration. I liked your wearing a mask indoors. I do my grinding on machines outdoors (cart with flat frame) and wear a full face mask people use in cutting trees.

Hi, Where can I get a machine like that?
@brendanesposito 4 years ago

Out of interest... how fast do you have that belt rotating?
