Equipment We Use for Our Sharpening Services
We provide professional sharpening services to both Salons and Groomers. Our services include sharpening for Clipper Blades, Beveled Edge Shears (Straight and Curved), Convex Edge Shears (Straight and Curved), and various types of Thinners, Blenders, Chunkers (Straight and Curved).
We use specialized equipment designed for each type of sharpening service. We have also received extensive training on how to use each machine and obtain a sharp and professional cutting edge.
Clipper Blades
The Treyco Model 3000 unit is designed to sharpen clipper blades giving a professional edge. With use of the two arms, an equal and efficient edge is given to both the comb and the cutter portions of a clipper blade.
Clipper blades are initially inspected to see how well they are working. Any chipped, broken teeth, or wearing of parts, will be identified and discussed. Combs and cutters are then cleaned and sharpened on a hollow ground machine to ensure the tips of the teeth can make consistent contact, providing a clean cut. Once that is completed, they are demagnetized to decrease friction and release and accumulated debris. Prior to re-assembly, the sockets are adjusted to eliminate rattling while using the clippers. Once the blades are re-assembled and oiled, the tension is adjusted to ensure blades glide smoothly and cut hair efficiently. Blades are also tested to see that they are clipping properly.
We currently sharpen all A5 detachable clipper blades, ask
about other blades.
All Shears, including Thinners, Blenders, Chunkers (Straight and Curved)
The SciMech machine is a versatile sharpening maching allowing for various types, lengths and style of shears, both straight and curved. With a variable speed setting and a right hand or left hand setting, we can obtain an effective and professional cutting edge.
The shears are initially inspected to see how well they are working. Any missing parts or special repair needs are identified and discussed. Shears are then disassembled and sharpened on a flat-hone system to maintain the original angle/shape. Blades are then polished to create a smooth clean and precise cut. Blades are re-assembled, oiled, set to proper tension and tested to ensure there is a functional and smooth cutting surface.
