Belt Grinder Knife Jig Manual Sharpener Holder Long Sharpening Locator Fixed Angle Jig for Belt Sander Belt Machine (Small)

Great value for money and easy to set a blade and use. Size is perfect for the current scale knives I am making. For the low cost the build quality is actually good. I am pleasantly surprised especially when taking into account the value some of these actually go for.

What a shame ....no instructions or even suggestions of how, and angles to grind knife blades....ho hum..into the bin she goes with the warning to others Dont BUY NO INSTRUCTIONS.

Me lo imaginé peor, la verdad superó mis expectativas funciona muy bien claro que hay mejores pero para empezar en cuchillería no esta mal. Este es el chico así que ya me siento confiado para pedir el grande.

works great

Even though in the end I returned this, I found it was well made and will likely work for most people. But for me the work holding wasn't sufficient for my particular blade design, no matter how many ways I tried, the clamping hardware would have just got in the way of the bevel grinding job, so I didn't even get to use it. If I had other designs to work on this might have worked just fine but the hole pattern and the screws were just too long and the angles I needed to hold the part just didn't work for me. I had considered modifying it to suit the job but the work I'd have to put into this would be better spent on making a custom jig. There are better low-profile work holding systems and methods I can try that will do a better job than whatever I could do to modify this thing. Probably the biggest gripe would be what others have also mentioned is the adjustment screw has no way to fix the angle without adding some extra nuts to the adjustment screw, it's really wobbly and certainly would work it's way out with the vibration of the machine. So at the very least this does need some modification before it's really usable. But a trip to the hardware store should remedy that problem. The price is also good for what you get, better materials on other systems might be worth it for some but I don't see a need to go overkill for something like this. The plates are thick enough and feels firm and solid and the hinges are tight and fixed well and doesn't have any noticable wobble to it. If I had any other project it would be suitable for I'd likely have kept it. But take all this with a grain of salt as I don't have any long term testing on this jig.

Very surprised with the quality, fit and finish of this jig, especially considering the price point (small version). It really is nicely designed and put together. I haven't ground with it yet but I have mounted a few blades and bar stock pieces to get the feel of it. Looking at this model, I believe I will pull the trigger and buy the bigger model as well.

Excellent product, works great to get your bevels nice and even. Little annoying to bolt/unbolt knife to flip around, some kind of quick lock or pin would be an improvement but for the money this cant be beat.
