Tormek Scissors Jig Explained

Scissors Jig (SVX-150)

Give your scissors a turn on your Tormek with the SVX-150 Scissors Jig. It works with most types of scissors and shears, from small household scissors to large hedge shears. You can even sharpen pinking shears that cut fabric in zigzags and certain blades for electronic hand planes.

Why Choose the SVX-150 Scissors Jig?

Simple setup

The scissors or shears are mounted in a holder that rests against the support plate. The sharpening angle can be set so that you can repeat the existing sharpening angle exactly. You grind away the smallest possible amount of material every time, no matter what angle the scissors or shears are at.

Sharpening scissors and shears of various shapes

One scissor blade is often slightly convex, or sometimes both are. Tormek's patented design means you can follow the individual shape of each blade to ensure even sharpening along the entire length. The rotation of the grinding wheel presses the scissors against the support plate, so you can concentrate on moving the scissors across the grinding wheel while maintaining full control. Please note that the SVX-150 Scissors Jig is not recommended for hairdressing scissors due to their special geometry.
