Sharpening scissors using a machine
Features of sharpening scissors
The blades of scissors are sharpened at a certain angle.
It is regulated by current standards. According to GOST R 51268-99, the sharpening angle of hairdressing scissors should be 60 degrees. When sharpening them, deviations are allowed: from +5 to -15 degrees. The sharpening angle of metal scissors is 75 degrees. Other types of scissors, including utility and tailor's scissors, are sharpened at an angle of 70 degrees. The permissible deviation for them is +10 degrees. The cutting properties of scissors depend on the sharpening angle of the blade.
Device, types, technical characteristics
The main design elements of all types of machines are an electric motor and a grinding disk, which can be mounted horizontally or vertically on the shaft.
Horizontal machines are used for sharpening scissors: hairdressing, manicure and surgical. All other types of knives can be sharpened on vertical machines.
Most modern sharpening machines have a laser “sight” in their equipment. It allows you to accurately set the sharpening angle of the cutting edge of the blade even for a non-professional. To protect the eyes of a person working on the machine from dust generated during sharpening of products, a special visor is provided in the design of the equipment.
All sharpening equipment produced by manufacturers is divided into two large groups: household and professional. The latest types of machines can work for a long time without stopping. Household equipment cannot withstand this operating mode.
According to their purpose, the machines are:
for nail scissors;
for medical instruments;
for professional tools.
Sharpening machines can be universal and highly specialized. The equipment can have: manual, automated and combined control. Abrasive and diamond wheels and belts are used as a sharpening element in machines.
The main technical characteristics of the equipment are:
- power;
- grinding disc size;
- rotation frequency.
An important role in the choice of equipment is played by its dimensions and weight.
