I am considering getting a Wen 10" 2-direction water cooled sharpening wheel. Anybody out there have one of these? The YouTube reviews seem to speak pretty positively about them, but I am curious what real knife enthusiasts think of them.
I am planning to use it for more than just knives. I have some chisels and lathe blades to sharpen as well, but yes, in this thread I was wondering how it worked on knives, for thinning projects etc.
Waste of money. Bad for chisels, creates hollows in the bevel. A horizontal wheel is a better choice. These machines take skill to use properly, I wouldn't recommend using them until you are very proficient with material removal.I am considering getting a Wen 10" 2-direction water cooled sharpening wheel.

But with this small belt grinder the risk of overheating is very high? I have a "Peugeot EnergySand 200 ASP" with a much longer band and it´s very dangerous. Because of this problem i thin by hand like in my new video from today.
PS: I always use a new band too
