Can this be used to sharpen hair cutting shears?

My husband said that yes it could but the angle would have to be perfect and to use the fine side (not coarse side).

Hi Nancy, I use it for making sculptures. Not sure if it can be used for sharpening lawn mower blades. You could call them directly and ask. They might recommend a specific grit of belt or disc for that application. Good luck!

I don't see why not, this is what my barber uses and he has several different brand clippers.

It is possible, but it wont be easy because of the length of the blade. I have routinely sharpened 12" scimitars on 12" stones as well as a machete (20" maybe?). If you really want to get the sword razor sharp after working it on a stone, finish it by working it over on a glass bottle. I did this with the machete and was able to shave with it when I was finished.

Yes, of course it can be sharpened. Get to it! You'll be done in less than an hour! Cheers!

If you mean sharpen Manicure scissors, I would not know. But it sharpened my shears and small medical type scissors just fine. The part that sharpens the scissors is a white ceramic rod held loosely in the handle, as you pull the scissor's blades through the slots you see, it sharpens both sides of the scissors at once. (Like your trying to cut the rod in half as your pulling the blades through.) Best of luck, I hope this helped.

Yes, I believe it can. However, I am not sure what you would use to cut it. It may be too thick for a scissor.

Yes, you could use it for it but only if the blades of the pruning shears are as thin as a chef's knife.

It might be possible but really was not designed for that. Mostly used by wood workers to sharpen planer blades.

I would say it is possible but dependent on the size and shape of the bit and head of the axe you have to sharpen. This sharpeners primary intended design appears to me for putting a quick edge on typical knives. I have been very satisfied with the purchase of this product for that purpose.

It might work but it depends on how long the razor is. The tool is about 3 inches long. It's hard to use on short bladed knifes. That's just my thought.

Yes, to your answer. It can do any type of scissor, heavy-duty and household, its all about the angle. All I can say is this is a amazing unit, and you can buy attachments for it to do even bigger stuff with ease. If you don't have a shop and need something at home that does a variety of sharpening, this would be what I would get. you can use it in the house, which works well for me. if I had a show I really wouldn't need this, but currently I don't so this comes in handy.

I would think so. I have this KA-BAR Potbelly, and it will sharpen that. http://www.kabar.com/knives/detail/39

Depends on your skill level. It is shaped like a small lawn mower blade; if you have successfully sharpened one of those, you can sharpen this.

I wouldn't think so, the material is rather thin, wider, larger open fibers. I used this materials as a another option for cutains, and I feel it the material was too thin by itself. Looks great with shears though.

They have worked on all the tools I have tried them on including scissors. You will need to buy and use the appropriate ones for scissors. After you have sharpened your shears it normally only takes one or two passes the maintain the edge.

Yes, just be sure your shun is not a single sided edge. I have two shuns and it sharpens them beautifully.
