Edgepro Tutorial : Hard Mounting the Edgepro Apex
Published: 8 years ago
Here's a short video on modification to the Edgepro Apex that can really improve your precision and enjoyment sharpening knives with the Edgepro system. What I've done is hard mount the unit to the piece of laminate counter top I use as the top of my sharpening bench. This eliminates what I consider the weak link of the EPA system, the suction cup mounts. The video shows the unit as modified and how I did it. Here's the list of tools and hardware you'll need to complete the project:
Tools:
Cordless Drill
11/64" drill bit (not 7/64" as misstated in the video)
Pliers
Hardware:
2 -- 3" long -32 threaded rod (cut to length after assembly)
2 -- -32 hex nuts
2 -- -32 wing nuts
4 -- fender washers
