how to sharpen mini dike cutters, nipper cutters?
Alan Horowitz wrote: how to sharpen the mini dike cutters and nipper cutters used in electrical & electronic work? They're too small to handle with jigs, and the blades don't even open very widely. Yet, their utility is directly proportional to how recently they've been sharpened/honed. I have tried to do this with swiss files and small pocket sharpening stones. it really isn't worth the trouble, and they never work as well as a good new cutter. Yes, I hate to throw them away, too. But, I have bought some good Xcelite and other cutters that have served me well for years in light production work. I don't cut drill bits with them, however. |
