Title: Sharpening Scissors for left-handed on Tormek T-4 Original.
Post by: maxisT on April 13, 2025, 08:14:31 PM
I'm looking for advice on how to set the Tormek T-4 Original to sharpen left-handed scissors. Maybe someone has some experience with it, and I would appreciate any info.
Thanks

The technique would be the same. The only difference is the shape of the finger holes and thumb.

Also the blade orientation is swapped. With right hand scissors the loose blade is to the left when held away from you. For left hand scissors the blade will be to the right when the jig is pointing away from you.
