I just received the Spyderco 308CBN Webfoot as a gift. I can with a plastic stand that allows for a 15* sharpening angle vs the normal 20* of the Golden Stone and the Weboot. Total weight for both sharpening units and stand in their suede leather sheaths is 1.1lbs.

More to come, including pictures and videos, once I get some personal and family business taken care of.

Did you have to cut away metal so that the adjustment wheel can move forward all the way without the wheel hitting?

I'm at that stage, and it appears my wheel has clearance, unlike what the CCC video shows.

One of the first projects I'm going to play with is rounding the spines of some inexpensive kitchen knives I have. I like the way a rounded spine feels when holding a knife in a pinch grip.]]> Cal_Bowie Product Review/Feedback Fri, 09 Sep 2022 20:08:57 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,162,1234#msg-1234 Re: Harbor Freight 1x30" Belt Sander for Knife Sharpening https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,162,1234#msg-1234 Yeah, CCC should have the parts in stock now. I am planning to upgrade my machine step by step, the motor and variable speed will be the last thing I do. I like mine for regrinds and relief grinds, I usually use my Tormek T4 for sharpening or just sharpen by hand. An excellent coarse oil stone from Norton is about as fast as the grinder I have found. The grinder does do an awesome job at sharpening, especially if you have good belts. I use mine to shape the Kydex sheaths for the Victorinox Paring knife package I do.]]> jasonstone20 Product Review/Feedback Wed, 31 Aug 2022 01:33:01 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,162,1232#msg-1232 Re: Harbor Freight 1x30" Belt Sander for Knife Sharpening https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,162,1232#msg-1232
That video by CCC is very helpful. I just bought one of these on sale and am following his steps on how to get it to run better.

I'm going to use it for sanding wood and occasionally try to sharpen very dull knives, or knives without a decent apex bevel with it. I sometimes sharpen kitchen knives for friends and family, and they have some budget kitchen knives that it would really be nice to quickly re-bevel.

I'm not ready to convert the motor over yet, though having one with variable speed would be very nice.]]> Cal_Bowie Product Review/Feedback Thu, 25 Aug 2022 16:48:26 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,162,1220#msg-1220 Re: Harbor Freight 1x30" Belt Sander for Knife Sharpening https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,162,1220#msg-1220

I used it new out of the packaging, and it left a finish a little south of the DMT 8k Mesh (3u, ~4k-5k JIS). The diamond surface seemed uniform and set firm in the plate, unlike some cheap diamond hones I have gotten that shed the diamond surface pretty fast. All in all, not a bad deal for the price. The plate is very thin, so it needs to be placed in a stone holder or on a block to be used easily.

The things I like about diamonds are these:

- They stay flat
- They’ll cut all steel types without issue, even at low pressure
- They’re a very good option for apexing the edge

I like diamonds also for that same reason.]]> jasonstone20 Product Review/Feedback Thu, 24 Feb 2022 11:39:18 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,853,883#msg-883 Re: Norton Economy Stones, 8"(AlO) and 6"(SiC) https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,853,883#msg-883 Ryan Nafe Product Review/Feedback Wed, 23 Feb 2022 22:59:57 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,853,882#msg-882 Re: Norton Economy Stones, 8"(AlO) and 6"(SiC) https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,853,882#msg-882 Also the fact that they don't strictly require the use of lubricants, so sharpening is a lot less messy.

Only thing, although I never tried really coarse plates like dmt extra-coarse, a freshly conditioned oilstone is really hard to match regarding cutting speed, talking about changing bevel angles and thinning here
Also the edges always seem to came up on the toothy side, never really a problem in my use though]]> Millscale Product Review/Feedback Wed, 23 Feb 2022 22:40:07 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,853,877#msg-877 Re: Norton Economy Stones, 8"(AlO) and 6"(SiC) https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,853,877#msg-877

Yesterday I too went to the hardware store and found a small sharpening stone simply labeled "corundum, double sided coarse/fine", bought it just to try out. Unfortunately, no grit ratings to speak of. After a little bit of sharpening I concluded this little inexpensive stones was as good as a Crystolon C/F, if not better grinding very fast on the coarse side and leaving a very sharp edge off the fine side (effortlessly slicing paper towel, similar to a 600 grit diamond finish)
Sometimes those cheap hardware store sharpening stones perform horribly, sometimes they bring crazy value, this was 5€ and I'll definitely buy spares.

Millscale,
Yeah, I have a whole collection of hardware stones. I have about 12 6" stones, and I sort them into either being Soft (releases grit) or Hard (doesn't release grit), along with an 8" Update AlO stone, and an 8"x3" SiC stone that is about 2" thick.]]> jasonstone20 Product Review/Feedback Tue, 22 Feb 2022 22:54:19 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,853,875#msg-875 Re: Norton Economy Stones, 8"(AlO) and 6"(SiC) https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,853,875#msg-875 I was going to just use diamonds also, like how Joe Calton's does his edge until I watched these:

Also a small selection of needle and chainsaw files.
About the use, as you said they are very handy for tools like axes, sickles, billhooks etc, they work faster than even the coarsest stones and overheating is never an issue.

I have a few files, a well used Grobet that I bought new, a very nice Mercer two sided very coarse and coarse file, and a big 12" mill bastard that is just labeled "China'. I bought all three from the same local hardware store. I use them for sharpening my machetes and hatchets.]]> jasonstone20 Product Review/Feedback Mon, 17 Jan 2022 19:30:27 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,579,584#msg-584 Re: Greetings and comments on a good file https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,579,584#msg-584 Maybe I should have also tried a less coarse file, like a smooth cut, but I admit the result was a bit surprising.
I tried to find topics on many forums about filing hardened stainless, without much success, but
I know Stefan Wolf (Rip) once reground his spyderco salt using a file, I don't have any H1 steel knife, but I know for sure that steel doesn't have much carbide, if any at all.]]> Millscale Product Review/Feedback Sun, 09 Jan 2022 21:54:29 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,579,580#msg-580 Re: Greetings and comments on a good file https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,579,580#msg-580 Ryan Nafe Product Review/Feedback Sun, 09 Jan 2022 18:05:35 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,579,579#msg-579 Greetings and comments on a good file https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,579,579#msg-579 I've been a lurker on the old forum for a good while and I recently decided to join, thank you all.
I wanted to share with you my Stella Bianca bastard file, this model has a long cutting surface, very coarse teeth pattern, and according to the maker, is hardened to about 64 hrc.
I bought it after reading a topic on the old forum
http://www.cliffstamp.com/knives/forum/read.php?17,64834,64834][/url]
and I used it to reprofile a new Rinaldi hatchet, which only had a really thick and obtuse grind.
Even of fairly hard steel that dulled my previous file in an
heartbeat (silicon manganese tool steel, about 58hrc), it cut fast and clean, and in an hour or so I obtained a really nice cutting edge and a pile of perfect shavings, the file was still like new. In my limited experience, I've never seen a file working this good on hardened steel.
Next I used the file to regrind and thin a carbon steel Green River knife I handled from a blank a while ago, and it obviously worked perfectly fine on the even softer steel (54 to 56 according to the maker), but when I tried to do the same job on a Victorinox kitchen knife (stainless steel, about the same hardness AFAIK) the file started to skate and wasn't biting almost at all and the removal rate was poor.
I thought that maybe even minimal carbide content was enough to considerably slow down even the best files, simple testing done on similar hardness 12c27 (carbide volume and size more akin to simple carbon steel, the file hogged steel pretty weel compared to the similar but maybe more coarse grained X50CrMoV15) and on Spyderco VG10 (no bite at all) seems to confirm that.
That discovery was a bit of a bummer, but still a very good tool to manually reprofile any kind of carbon steel blade in my opinion, way faster than any stone I've ever had.]]> Millscale Product Review/Feedback Sun, 09 Jan 2022 10:54:47 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,23,518#msg-518 Re: Spyderco Golden Stone https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,23,518#msg-518 www.cliffstamp.com]]]> jasonstone20 Product Review/Feedback Wed, 22 Dec 2021 01:49:17 +0000 https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,23,312#msg-312 Re: Spyderco Golden Stone https://www.beyondt01micron.com/read.php?10,23,312#msg-312 Yeah, I Spyderco video on how to use it would be awesome. I just covered the basics in my video. The main reason I really wanted the Golden Stone was that the edges were elliptic to match my Spyderco Profile Medium 701M stone I have. The new Duckfoot would add a coarse stone to the set, and it is a great set of stones to have as it can basically sharpen anything. In my video, I did go over the trick (as did Nick) to use the scissor mode of the Golden Stone to get a 12.5° angle.

Also, it's used for serrations just like the Triangle Sharpmaker where you just slowly run the serrated edge down the corner. I guess Nick doesn't know that trick? Though the Sharpmaker video does show how to do it.
