I need help

[rescue_171]

Ok guys I need help...
I got a Truangle broadhead file and the ceramic stone set to sharpen my Magnus 2 blade broadheads. But I cant get them shaving sharp.

Any tips on using this system cause all the reviews i read this is a good system to use.

Could the factory grind be different the the angle i'm trying to put on with this system?

Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks

its hard to say .i have no idea what you r doing , how you r attempting to sharpe them.
 i us a lanski system it has controlled angle settings . its still a lot of work at first on a new blade because it needs to be reshapen to the lowest angle the blade will allow i like 23deg. but some blades wont take it.it requires alot of time and patience.

I have used the truangle system for quite some time and get my Zwickey eskimos and deltas shaving sharp. First, the factory angle is different then what you get from the files.
 First use heavy pressure for 4 or 5 strokes each side, keep going back and forth until the angle is changed throughly. You will notice it changing the factory angle at this stage.
 After this change to medium pressure and continue for 3 or 4 stokes per side until it starts to smooth out. Then go to light pressure and 3 or 4 strokes per side until the edge gleams. Then you can use either a leather strop or a piece of cardboard to LIGHTLY strop the edge to take off any roughness. This produces a clean sharp edge more like a scapel-rather than a wire edge. Have used this method for a long time and feel that it promotes fast,clean wounds with good blood trails.

My wife says that about me too.

Use a magic marker on the rough edges so you can see where you are at in terms of the grind. .  

don't stop the grind till you get the whole side sharpened, that is, make certain that the grind on one side of the blade actually goes until it meets the grind on the other side of the blade.

You can usually see this by looking at the edge itself with a sharp light system.  A dull or not fully ground edge will look silver.  You won't see the edge if you did the grind far enough.

Make certain your stones are flat.  If they are worn out and curved, forget getting the sharpest blade you can.

After you get the grind right, start using finer grade abrasives and go softly.  

There is at least one "sharpen along" posted in the "how to" section.
