The method of the second: how to put the scissors using sandpaper

The technology of work will be similar to the advice described above. To do this, take a small piece of the emery canvase and explore it with scissors in different directions. You can also lick the blade to the specified material, slightly pressed from above. It is necessary to use coarse-grained material that is easier to carry out processing. Be sure to take into account when working, it is necessary that the zone for sharpening is the outer edges of the scissors. You can not rub the inner surface, otherwise you can not "cure" tool, but spoil. Two data of the option, how to make scissors, are quite simple and available. But that other ways can be used to be better.

The third way: use a file

There are special bars that can be accurate not only but also scissors. These also include various blades for processing spend several times on the specified object that lies on a flat surface. One hand needs to press the bar to the table, and the other is to move with scissors (leaning the outer side of the tip) in the direction of the handles to the ends.

Sharpening in several stages

So, having studied all the options described, after all how to proper scissors? In case there are no special factory devices in the home use, to get better results Work is recommended in several stages. To do this, before machining, remove the accumulated dirt from the blades with a cotton piece or a rag moistened in the solvent. Depending on the purpose of the scissors, it may be land, the remnants of products, paint, fine tissue dust, etc. Removing a foreign layer will provide a better result. Then use the file first or coarse bar. After that, to secure the result, use rough emery paper, and then small. And in conclusion, slightly tighten the bolt, tightening the blades. After all, it may have been the main reason that the scissors do not want to "obey" the master.

Everything! The gun is ready to work!

Sharpening scissors is quite simple and not troublesome. The tool itself is cheap and you can just buy new scissors, but many housewives prefer to sharpen them, as they are accustomed to their scissors. In addition, there are many Chinese cheap fakes in the markets that are much worse and "live" not long. To sharpen the scissors in the home conditions, you need to get only a sharpening stone and that's it.

Detection of a problem

It is not always the cause of bad cutting of the material there are stupid blades of scissors. Most often weakened the fastening of the blades (bolt or rivet) because of which the blades do not fit to each other and "chew" material. This problem is treated with elementary tightening of the thread. It is also necessary to make sure that the tips of the blades converge and there is no distance between them. If the distance is still there, then you need to sign the limiters that are near the rings (metal or plastic small attacks). If these operations did not help and the scissors cut badly, the blades need to be sharpened.

Fundamental rules

1. You can not change the corner of the factory sharpening. You need to sharpen scissors under the same corner.
2. You need to sharpen scissors only by the movement from the "nose" to the rings. There should be no moves back and forth.
3. After completion of the process, you can handle the blades of shallow sandpaper to remove small burstages.
4. Everything! Scissors are ready to use.

How to check sharp scissors or not

1. Take a thin fabric and hang it out.
2. Try to make several cuts. If the scissors do not eat cloth and it turns out a smooth cut, then the scissors are sharpened well.

How to quickly sharpen scissors without tools

If there is no sharp tool at hand, and the sharp scissors are urgently needed, then you can temporarily sharpen using a screwdriver. This method works only 2-3 times, after which the scissors will need to be sharpened using a grinding stone or a file.

• Take fine-grained emery paper and just make several cuts on it. As a result of this simple operation, the scissors will become more acute.
• Take the Gypsy needle, install it as close as possible to the axis of the scissors and shoes them push the needle closer to the nose. This action must be repeated several times. Instead of the Gypsy needle, you can also use the neck from the glass bottle.

With the use of the working facility, the cutting objects wear out. At first it is noticed, then it comes to dissent. You can return the performance in several ways - to attribute the master tool or make some manipulations yourself. What is the cause of wear? What should I be foreseen? About everything in order.

The hardness of the material from which the tool is made, affects the sharpening angle. The indicator above, the sharper the cutting canvases are sharpened. Scissors for metal are made of durable steel, the hardness of which is 58-60 units on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The indicator is very high; It is required to provide an angle of sharpening at least 75 degrees. In this, their difference from, for example, kitchen (50-55 HRC, 15-20 degrees) or household (53-55 HRC, 45-60 degrees.) Knives.

The sharpening scissors itself does not take more than half an hour. The tool manufacturer recommends contacting specialists, but self-respecting master will return the performance of the blades on their own.

Stages and methods sharpening scissors

There are two methods of work:

• fast and ineffective;
• long and more efficient.

The first is relevant if a sharp cutting tool is necessary urgent. For its sharpening, one of the two products are used:

• sandpaper (fine grain);
• needle.

In the first case, it is necessary to spend several times on the sandpaper by each of the blades until small cuts appear. So the edges will become a little sharper. The way is convenient, a couple of minutes will go to work, but the scissors for metal will work for a short time.

Experts do not advise you to sharpen the instruments under consideration before the state of the razor. It sometimes it turns out that such a device is not capable of cutting the simplest surface like paper.

The use of the needle is more efficient, but there is also no disadvantages. It takes the product thickening, it is placed between the blades as close as possible to the fastener. Next, the scissors are compressed and squeezed, gradually pushing the needle to the edges of the tool parts. Having done the operation twice, the master is well infrontated by the edges and will return to the scissors.

A longer sharpening scissors involves the use of vice and solid abrasive, which usually acts as a file. The sequence of actions is as follows:

• the product is disassembled;
• one of the halves of scissors is fixed in the vice so that the sharp edge is located "from Himself," and the puffy side was on top;
• the movements of the file "from ourselves" dents and chips are removed from the cutting edge, while the edge of the canvase does not become perfectly smooth;
• the file work slowly, strictly in one direction;
• similar manipulations are carried out with the second half of the scissors.

It is not recommended to immediately collect the product. First, the blades are lubricated by anti-corrosion fluid, extending their life without the need for re-sharpening. Then the sharpened blades are combined, and the user starts work.

Checking performance

The traditional way to control the acute instrument on paper is inappropriate in this case. After all, even a stupid item is capable of cutting a sheet. The blades are better to check on the fabric. If it cuts easily, without jamming, scissors are considered correctly sharpened; They can be used for metal surfaces.

Knowledge of ways, how to sharpen scissors will help a novice specialist to choose the most suitable for specific conditions. It is desirable to know the material of the manufacturer, the manufacturer's recommendations, and also timely control the wear of the cutting edges. After sharpening, do not forget about the treatment with liquid. Then the product will work more than one month and will not give the reason to return to their sharpening.

If after that the scissors do not fit well enough, you should swing the heel limiter. It is near a hole with a bolt. Trying to close the blades do not need, so the problem will only increase.

If a rivet is used in the connection area, it should be squeezed. Pre-scissors are worth opening, put on any product of metal.

After with the help of a beard, flatten the rivet, check the blade closure. In the event that the situation has not changed and the tool still does not cut, it must be sharpened.
