The SG is the standard.  The SB and SJ are considered special purpose grindstones.

The Tormek, in my opinion, isn't the machine for sharpening hairdresser scissors.

Juan,

I researched sharpening salon scissors, and quickly found out that it's a very specialized industry.  While the Tormek is great for sharpening knives and shop tools, etc., it's not the right tool for salon (hairdresser) scissors.  I'm no expert about this but we are lucky enough to have one member who is. 

Hopefully these posts will shed some light:
