Another excellent, informative and enjoyable video Mr. Brian! I’m amazed at how good you are at it. Cadence, content and even lighting is all done so well. Thanks for taking the time to make them and for sharing with us. You make video production look easy but I’m totally sure the reality of it behind the camera was anything but quick and easy.
It was cool how you started with a very dull blade. It demonstrated the process very well. It even showed how burrs start to form in some areas along the edge and then it’s time to move on to areas that don’t yet have burr. That’s one thing I really like about the Kalamazoo 1” belt. It allows for working in small areas along the edge so as not to have to regrind areas that already have burr which only results in bigger and more difficult to remove burrs.
I also enjoyed how you demonstrated using light pressure against the belt. A few more light pressure passes is always better than trying to hasten the process with heavy pressure. Heavy pressure always in bigger, tougher and gnarlier burrs that are more difficult to remove.
Oh yeah, I’ve often wondered why bevels get wider toward the tip. I had not thought how the tapered blade gets thicker towards the spine. Good info. Thanks for the lesson. I learned something new.
