General Tormek Questions / Scissor jig
October 28, 2013, 05:50:00 AM
Hello,
I'm new to sharpening anything but because I'm a seamstress I use my sewing scissors a lot.  I do not cut paper or non-fabrics with these sheers.   The problem is that although the local fabric store has a person who comes to the store and sharpens sewing sheers, I usually do not have time to take my equipment in.  I prefer to do the job myself.  I have 5 pair of sewing sheers and then I have the barber sheers that I use to cut my husbands hair. 
I have a grinding wheel that my husband had in his automotive shop 17 years ago (he's retired now) so I only need a scissors wheel, buffer and jig.  I do not know the brand of grinding wheel.  I do know we got it at Harbor Freight.
Can the Tormek scissor jig be used on any grinding wheel?
Where can I buy the fine grit wheel for scissors?
Thank you for your advice.
