Pn, By ANDY LANG QUESTION: My wife gave me the job of sharpening a pair of scissors.

I sharpened them and appear to have put keen edges on both blades. But for some reason, they still won't cut; In fact, they won't even cut paper. Can you tell me why this Is ANSWER: It could be any one of a number of reasons. The edges might be sharp, but not beveled properly. But the most probable reason Is that the blades are not accurately adjusted to each other.

Scissors depend for their cutting action on the meeting of the two blade edges. If they do not come together properly, they will not cut no matter how sharp the edges are.

The Idea Is to hit It just the right amount of times to get the right result. It you Mt It too many times, you may force the blades too closs to- gether which Is why you test after each blow. Should your scissors not have a screw arrangement, but just a rivet, follow the same prin- ciple of hitting one end of the rivet and then testing each time. The chances are this wllj do the trick.
