    • Wranglerstar I watched your video about click bait and i know you're telling the truth and i know its not fare what KZhead is doing. I also read all the flack you got from critics along with the support from from likeminded people such as myself. and I thought about it again later, and I wonder have you ever paying for ad space on KZhead. I'm not sure if that makes any sense to you or if that's even something within your budget or if you would even be interested in doing so.

  • hey Cody have you ever tried dishwashing liquid as a cutting media on your stone. you love your stones so here's a little secret taught to me by a kangaroo shooter. Oils on a stone will clog the stone with tiny metal filings deeply imbedded into the stone. Because dishwash is both slippery smooth like oil, BUT water soluable. When you wash your stone off in water the dishwash bubbles out of the stone, bringing out the metal filings with it. it leaves the stone super clean and brand new looking. Every person I have shown this to so far has agreed and converted to dishwash liquid. It even leaves your skin feeling great. great for using in the kitchen, with all your cooking knifes. With a good clean stone, The blade will sing as you stroke it over the stone. I would love to see you do a video on this and give your thoughts.....

Roloc just refers to the mechanical type of connection between the backing pad and the disc. There are over a dozen other attachment styles listed on 3M's website.

    • The cheapest way to sharpen is with a file. Ideally put the axe in a vice or just hold it with the head in your hand, edge up, and the handle on the ground. Then Move the axe and file against each other at your desired edge angle. It will take a long time and create lots of metal dust so eye protection is good.

    @Shawn-rq4py@Shawn-rq4py7 жыл бұрын
    • My personal experience is that it is hard to find a good machete and by good I mean has good steel. A good machete, in my opinion, should have a slightly tapered blade and it should be tempered to be hard on the outside but a bit softer on the inside so it remains tough but not brittle. Should have a springiness to it.

    • Try keeping the bevel to an axe grind (some people call it a convex grind, but it refers to the same shape.) After you've gotten your bevel right, you're looking for an angle of 30 degrees on machetes and general purpose axes.

      @KamonPlays@KamonPlays7 жыл бұрын
    • G23, Try using a mill cut type flat file, taping the file every few strokes to clear the file. Never back stroke the file, as it will damage the file's teeth. Wear leather gloves when filing, leave several inches just above the handle dull and use a lanyard to secure the machete to your wrist. The machete is one of the most hazardous cutting tools to use, not only to the operator but to persons near you. Take Care!

    • Ken, True, it is also called "Hollow Ground".as are most all quality knives are made. Personally I shape my axes in this shape with a 7' metal grinder which minimizes sharpening time. My profession includes an axe as a tool I carry with chainsaws. I used to do the multiple stone sharpening syndrome but for all intents and purposes as with knives I prefer a hollow ground grind and a flat file for saving time. Using stones will leave cutting edges with inefficient profiles and convex shape after time. Not saying one is better than the other but I have other things to do instead of rubbing rocks on my tools for hours.

  • That Stone is the Norton IB64 round combination stone, it is an aluminum oxide, that is the I in the IB64. They also have it in silicon carbide, JB64, and they have it with a finger groove in silicon carbide, JB74. The finger groove is great if you're holding the stone and sharpening something, like a mounted planer knife or shear blade. The silicon carbide is not great for sharpening something as relatively soft as an axe or pocket/kitchen knife so i'd stick to the aluminum oxide, but you should be able to get any of these for around $25 or less if you shop around so you can try it out. I use the IB64 all the time to 'stone' the table of my mills and machine vises to make sure there are no high spots and I just bought one of them a few weeks ago from my local norton dealer so they are most definitely still in production.

    • *Mike* Yeah, that's what I got from it. A lot of people don't know how to sharpen freehand, I think it was a great opportunity to give a crash course on it. *Shady* By using the Russian sharpener, you're using good stones. They're just attached to a mechanical guide for ease and precision.

      @KamonPlays@KamonPlays7 жыл бұрын
    • The Russian sharpener is good for straight edges, but axes and hatches you use for splitting need a convex edge. You can see the way he rolls the blade forward and back while working the stone - that's how you get a convex bevel. A convex bevel won't cut as deep as a straight or concave edge, but it won't get stuck either.

  • Laziest way to sharpen: Work for a week in order to afford an air compressor and grinder

    @airsoftgunjk@airsoftgunjk7 жыл бұрын
    • Yeah those air tools are notorious for sucking down the air. with a big tank even the smallest compressor can make this tool workable for short periods. I happen to have two of those tools and a 'good" 5+cfm compressor and it is still not good enough for my use. I am constantly having to wait for that thing. It's annoying to wait and that blasted compressor is an oilless Dewalt that I swear you can hear for miles. I have collected the motor and intend to build a real compressor that is relatively quiet.

    • Even after you have purchased it, you have to dig out your air grinder and find/fit it with the right attachment. Unless you have it set up that way by default because you sharpen so many axes, lol. Compared to flipping the switch on your bench grinder or belt sander, this doesn't seem very lazy nor particularly fast. I suppose if you're really in a hurry to reshape your file-molesting hatchet, you could even pick up your angle grinder. :)

    • you know if you are going to go out of your way to purchase machiens for sharpening an axe you might as well just get a belt sander. i mean even my tiny work sharp knife sharpening tool works fastert han this all you need to do to get it ready to go is to put the green belt on and plug it into a wall. and i don't even have the wider blade atachment for it.

  • Hey Cody and everyone, your cherished axe stone is what is called a "bench stone." every machine shop here in and around Rochester Mn uses them to smooth nicks and gouges on mill tables, lathe ways etc. Anyway I did a search and it appears that they are still made by Norton. I agree they are a great multi purpose stone, and tough too: I can't count the number of times I saw a Machinist accidently knock one onto a concrete floor.

  • Hello Wranglerstar, I just recently found your channel and subscribed immediately. I've been watching all your axe videos and have a couple questions: Why do you use kerosene or diesel over another type of oil as a solvent when using your sharpening stone? Would you recommend using the stones you use or would a water stone, like some people use for their knives, work on their axes as well? Thanks in advance, Nick.

  • Nice video as usual. I switched all my axe handles to 17 inches instead of those little short ones. I know it's a gerber label made by fiskars and to me that's a ladies or a childs hatchet. The 17's come on the rig builders or bush axe style tools which I find work much better in terms of efficiency. Slower swing, less energy exerted, same results, more fun. I like to call them short axes or long hatches. Good tip on the stones, I've been using angle grinders with Makita rough 24 grit disks and they are a just so precise such that I don't have a super smooth edge but it cuts perfect and it's just going to get dull again really soon. After I'm done with a project I might polish up the edge but I've found it really doesn't need more than a smoother stone grind. Bench grinders are just as good if not better and you can get diamond coated disks for those too. I've not tried that but they look pretty spiffy. So to me the laziest way to sharpen any steel tool is with an angle grinder or a bench grinder. An edge is an edge, U just want to finish it off with a smoother stone if a few grooves bother ya. Ya know what's funny, if you want to get any work done you're gonna have to cut sum'n and you'll need that cutting edge... Always enjoy your video's
