Wet Grinder Scissors Jig

Tormek / Wet Grinder Scissors Jig Notes I designed this scissors jig to work with a Tormek T-7 wet grinder, which has a 15/32" diameter support bar, but it can be modified to work with others. I made mine from PLA, setting sparse infill to 50%, which has proved adequate so far for this application. You will need to print one jig support, one lower clamp, two upper clamps (if you intend to sharpen both right- and left-handed scissors; right-handed shown), and three knobs. Additionally, you will need two 1/4" x 1" NC20 hex-head bolts, one 1/4" x 1-1/4" NC20 hex-head bolt, and one 7-1/2" length of 3/32" stainless steel rod. The large longitudinal hole in the jig support is slightly wedge-shaped to grip the bar better than a simple round hole. Because the plastic is slick, however, I recommend super-gluing two 1/2" x 1/4" strips of 400 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper onto the two flats of the wedge just inside each of the two ends of the hole (four total) for additional holding power (see photo)
