Edge Pro Scissors Attachment and Knife Guides

thingiverse

This is a scissors sharpening clamp attachment and knife guide 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. All Individual Parts for separate printing are in separate files. I highly recommend a strip of rubberised tape for the inside of the clamp for a very secure grip. (I use "ISC Racers Tape" / helicopter tape) Also stick a piece of it over the magnets after you've glued them into place. This will protect your blades, give it extra grip and make cleaning the magnet surface easy. I recommend M4 brass threaded melt-in inserts for the 2 holes in the platform side of the clamp and for the 1 centre hole of the table platform (For the knife guide). Also insert 1 x M4 brass threaded melt-in insert into the larger bottom hole of the scissors clamp. 2 x M4 screws and 2 x M4 Thumb screws of the desired length are also needed. 3 Neodymium magnets are forced into the recess holes and glued in securely with a tiny bit of epoxy glue. Magnet size 12mmx3mm round. If you want to use the Large Blade attachment, then you will need 6 additional neodymium magnets - also 12mmx3mm round. Simply remove your original adjustable knife guide from your Edge Pro Apex, and replace it with my platform. 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 to position your scissor blade in place, and then tighten the bottom screw (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 in a cantilever fashion on your scissors blade to hold it securely in place for sharpening.

Remove the scissors clamp part and replace it with the vertical knife support when needed. 13 October 2020 - I added a Large Blade attachment that can be used to sharpen longer kitchen or other knives. You will need 6 extra neodymium (12mmx3mm magnets for it) NOTE: Some of my other useful designs: https://www.thingiverse.com/leadingedge/designs
