Edge Pro Scissors Attachment and Knife Guide

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

This is a scissors sharpening attachment for the Edge Pro Apex Sharpening system. It is able to sharpen scissors between the range of approximately 13-45 degrees, which covers basically all angles required for various types of scissors.
I have designed 2 different versions:
1 - Scissors sharpening attachment only. (If no 3-point knife guide is desired)
2 - Scissors sharpening attachment combined with a 3-point knife guide and magnetic base for flat ground knives. (See photos.)
3 - All Individual Parts for separate printing if needed.
I recommend M4 brass threaded melt-in inserts for the 2 holes in the platform side of the clamp. Also insert a M4 brass threaded melt-in insert into the larger bottom hole of the small clamp. If you don't have brass threaded inserts, then you could probably use small M4 nuts for assembly. 3 x M4 screws of the correct length are also needed.
NOTE: If you're using my Scissors & knife guide combo version (with the magnetic base and guided 3-point clips), then also use a brass insert in the small centre hole of the table platform, and use 3 Neodymium magnets forced into the 3 recess holes. Magnet size 12mmx3mm round.
Simply remove the current adjustable knife guide from your Edge Pro Apex, and replace it with the platform for the scissors sharpener.
The clamp part of the scissors attachment can be used as follows: (See my photos)
Note - The bottom hole is for counter-tightening the clamp as described below.
Tighten the top 2 screws onto your scissor blade to be sharpened, and then tighten the bottom screw if desired (The bottom screw should only have a brass insert on the inside of the small clamp, so it basically then opens the bottom of the clamp up when you tighten the bottom screw, effectively forcing the top closed even tighter on your scissors blade. The top two screws are for lightly holding the scissors blade in place and positioning it, after which you tighten the bottom screw which then opens the bottom of the jaws, forcing the top to grip the scissors blade tightly.
