KMFS Vantaedge integral grinding system

Product detailed description

The KMFS Vantaedge integral grinding system is the latest evolution of grinding systems. Patented grinding system solution completely developed and manufactured in the Czech Republic. This grinding system is the first in the world to completely eliminate the effect of the raised facet at the tip of the knife and allows for completely precise repeated sharpening of the knife without any demands to repeat the knife clamping position.

The biggest change compared to all grinding systems is the introduction of reverse kinematics, where the system adjusts the other components of the set based on the exact angle to the blade so that the angle to the blade is always the same regardless of the knife clamping depth

The grinding system in the basic assembly includes a head with grinding angles of 15 °, 17.5 °, 20 °, 22.5 °, which are precisely observed along the entire blade and with each grinding. Additional accessories of the set allow grinding other angles as well.

Thanks to the Integral Klieme (chassis) completely milled from a block of Ergal 7075 T651 material, perfectly precise clamping orientation of the knife is achieved, maximum firm and light clamping. This is made possible by a double clamping clamp equipped with spherical bronze bushings of clamping screws, which eliminate unwanted clamping forces and enable perfect adaptation to the knife blade. It is not necessary to clamp the blade in both jaws when clamping the knife, even an ordinary one jaw provides sufficient clamping for grinding.

The maximum thickness of the knife blade 7.5-8 mm, the maximum length of the blade sharpened not one clamping 20-25 cm (the knife can be clamped several times during one sharpening without any problems) The KMFS Vantaedge integral clamp is symmetrical and by simply turning it, it is possible to sharpen the other side of the knife without having to turn the knife in the vise.

The set is completely equipped with ball bearings for completely smooth operation without backlash. There are 4 pieces of fully shielded bearings for rotation about two angular axes and 3 pieces of double linear four-row bearings.

The set has a grinding stone holder that is able to clamp all KMFS Rival stones and also most stones from other manufacturers, when there is no problem with the transition of the abrasive, there is no need to adjust the set in any way for a different thickness of the abrasive, the kinematics always reaches the right angle. The clamping segment of the stone held by a stainless steel spring has integrated brass pins protecting the hand against contact with the knife edge during sharpening. At the same time, the control wings of the segment enable precise guidance of the grinding stone.

Grinding is possible either by placing the integral clamp on the stand supplied in the package, or it is possible to grind only by holding the integral clamp in the hand (advantageous in the absence of a grinding table, for example outdoors)
