I have been attempting to use the SV150 scissor jig to sharpen some pinking shears my wife has w/o success. The first pair were Weiss brand and I was able to use the jig and sliding rest to sharpen only one of the blades. The other would not mount such that the jig would successfully slide. The second pair were of the Fiskar type and neither blade would successfully slide for sharpening. I finally sharpened them on a diamond slow speed grinding wheel by free hand methods - not the ultimate way. I have the older 2000 tormek which has been rebuilt. Is there a way to sharpen these on the Tormek? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Jeff, I am presently rebuilding and refinishing my Supergrind 2000.  I have a new arbor and bushings.  I have everything off of the frame for refinishing due to rusting here in Houston.  The paint is flaking off and needs to be removed and refinished.  I did manage to get the outside grinding wheel washer off using a pipe wrench and hammer to loosen it.  However, the rear washer is firmly rusted to the arbor as well as the wheel.  I have the arbor with grinding wheel (9" diameter) out of the frame and resting in a large vise.  I have flooded the rear washer with wd40 and t9 solvent several times.  Tried to drive the arbor out using a leather mallet to no avail.  Have thought about trying to drill the arbor out - seems that would be a last resort.  Do you know a method to get the wheel off of the old arbor?  Thanks.
