FAQ
Is your plate single or double sided?
Single-sided.

What is the plate made out of?
Aluminum.

How many blades can I sharpen on my plate?
Roughly 800-1000 on each side, however, everyone sharpens differently and there are many factors that change this number. The only true test is to use a straight edge to test the plate

How do I do the straight-edge test?
You want to see if there are any low spots on the plate. While the machine is stopped, rub the straight edge in a straight line from the center of the plate to the outer edge. See diagram. You should have a continuous line from the outside edge to the center hub. If there are gaps anywhere in this line, you have a low spot and your plate needs to be resurfaced.

Does your machine sharpening hollow or flat blades?
Hollow.

Do you offer financing?
Yes, with approved credit

Do you offer training?
Yes, in scissor sharpening, clipper blade sharpening, clipper repair and knife sharpening. We charge $300 for an eight-hour class.

What is a test, or rubbing block?
It is a flat block of steel used to show you the grind pattern on your blade. When you have something that is hollow and you rub in on something that is flat, you are able to see the hollow grind. Without a FLAT rub block/test plate, you cannot see the grind pattern.

How fast can I sharpen blades?
The actual sharpening takes ten seconds. Taking the blades apart and putting them back together is rather time consuming.

Why do I need the center line?
To keep the blade in line with the center of the plate.

How many pounds of tension do blades need to have?
2 ½ - 3 1/2 pounds.
