I picked up and have been using Kelley's motorized, vibrating uncapping knife. It's a horizontal blade, heated by a thermostat, and the cappings drop down into a cappings tank. I bought is used.
Looks great, yet has been working pretty average. I'm faster with my cold, serated uncapping knife made by RADA (sold by churches everywhere as a fund raiser). But there is part of me that thinks this vibrating knife is supposed to be faster.
On the Kelley knife, I keep moving the heat knob up but I've got a pretty good smell of burning wax/honey. It still seems to cut slow and at times, the blade "clogs" up with a wad of wax, even on newly drawn comb.
Do the blades need to be sharpened? Replaced? Anyone have any experience with this tool?
