@MrOttmandus It makes a "V" edge (bevel edge). I'd never heard of a convex edge until now. It looks interesting! Perhaps others who use this sharpening system know if it can be used to make convex edge.
@jonagard Sharpening with a wheel will normaly result in a concave shaped grind. The larger the grind-wheel, the closer your edge will be to a "V" edge.
Hand sharpening normaly results in a convex edge, while rod guided systems normaly produce a "V" or flat grind edge.
There are exceptions to these rules, but 99% of the time it's right.
@dalefrybread@dalefrybread It's not a stone. Those are cardboard wheels sold by Razor Sharp Knife Service. This is the instructional video included with their product. I simply transferred it to my computer from dvd and uploaded it since I couldn't find it online anywhere.
@hackamore I end up doing it that way, yes. That is due to my lack of experience though! I have to make sure I actually created the burr edge because I still sometimes keep setting different angles every pass which will not create the burr edge. Clearly the person in this video who actually works for the company is good enough that they know they created it.
@licha5050 Based on the results, I would definitely disagree. But to each his own. The main point of the video anyway is to supply the instruction video for those who may have this or a similar sharpening system. it's not meant to persuade anyone to use a sharpening wheel.
Does it make a convex or "V" edge?

what kind of stone did you use on your grinder?

Don't you do one side, check for burr edge, and then do the other side and check for burr edge?

@jonagard So they're not actually doing what they say they're doing. Thanks for clearing that up.

Good job. I like how you are careful not to overload the wheels with wax and rouge.
