Title: Deburring?
Post by: DoggyForager on February 03, 2025, 08:02:20 PM
Hi there, I often see folk say not to deburr scissors on the stropping wheel, but to run the edge over the end grain of some wood instead.

Is that the recommendation? And, if so, is it the case for all scissort action tools such as sheers or secateurs?

Thanks!

Hi, thanks.

So yes,it seems the advice for scissors and other similar tools is not to deburr but to run them over end grain of wood, or to close the scissors with a bit of lateral pressure on each blade to make them rub tightly.

Thanks very much
