The manufacturer will use a belt sander or a grinding wheel to put the edge on their blade. Bauer uses the same approach to sharpening your shears.
First we measure the exact angle of the cutting edge. Then we adjust our machine to hold your scissor or shear at the exact angle. Then we move the blade across the wheel to take off a small amount of metal.
We only take off just enough to gain the correct edge. After this, the same process is used on the honing wheel to polish the edge to perfection.
You will find that with our Bauer Certified technicians your shears will be at least twice as sharp as they were when new. We use the machine pictured at your left.
Properly sharpened beautician, Industrial shears can cut through several layers of cloth from the beginning of the blade in the joint area to the tip without pinching.
Different cutting materials are used to test different types of shears and scissors.
An example would be medical scissors that are checked using latex rubber.
Whether your shears are curved, beveled, long, or short, Bauer can perform your scissors and shears sharpening at least twice as sharp as new.
I get scissors in almost every day that have been dropped with the end of the blade broken off, or scissors that have been used improperly. An example might be someone used barber shears to cut wire.
In most cases I can repair these problems. Please do not throw away these shears.
If you paid $50.00 or more, it would be cost effective to let us repair them for you.
