In 20yrs of painting ....

Hi John,
so you're a painter trying to mix it with intellectuals on politics forums?
That explains it.
what intellectuals? In over ten years of posting I haven't seen any on these forums.

Just about everyone here is an intellectual compared to a wog like you.

The Ruixin knife sharpener has arrived and has already done one knife. Amazingly easy and accurate.

Good but what about a slip collar to keep the angles the same when changing the stones?

That 'ball joint' has a screw which binds it in place. You can see it if you look closely. If you can't, I'll take another photo showing it more clearly.

To change the stone, all you have to do is slip the long *whatever* steel rod out from the ball joint, which stays locked in place, change the stone, and bung it back in.

But he doesn't mention how to allow for stones of a different thickness.
It's an important point that is only mentioned on the links I gave you and the video.

Clamping the knife solid makes it a bit dangerous.
With the Edge Pro -
you hold the knife in place so that if you're bumped or lose your footing
the knife is not rock solid and can moved with you instead of cutting you.
Be careful.

REPEATED.


Aussie,
it's all explained here:
How To: Using the Edge Pro Drill Collar

The drill collar allows the user to pretty much instantly adjust for the difference in the thickness of each stone. Without the drill collar the user would need to manually adjust the angle arm which is difficult and time consuming. This method is fast and takes all of the guess work out of it.

Do you have a smart phone with a protractor/level reader? My iphone 12 does and that makes an adjustment very easy to keep the angle consistent after a stone change. The stones I have at the moment are all the same size in any event. Just different grit, as you'd expect.

Here is a photo showing how that ball joint is locked into place......with an Allen key screw.

dear Nef,
if you had a drawer full of blunt knives in the kitchen and
a whole lot of blunt tools in the shed then it wouldn't be boring. :)
