    Remember to do both pieces. Mineral oil is a good lube for them, some actually come with a small bottle.

    When hand lapping hydraulic pump motor parts was taught to spin 90 degrees every few figure 8 to cover every thing equally

    AvE Sir, thanks, could you tell how many minutes did you spend to sharpen it? 2 min or say 6 min? so 600 grits is better for these things and knife too? what about nail clipers I have one that I am attached to.. thanks

    Out of acute cheapness I cut my own hair and I haven't even popped for an expensive hair clipping machine like you have. I do lap my scissors a few times a year even though the cost of quality emery paper is somewhat prohibitive.

    I agree about the sentimental value , i have an old German clippers that is working perfectly till this day , it's really worth keeping and fixing and also agree about the the haircuts price , like i need 2 haircuts a week and 4 beard trims , i dunno about other places but that's a whole amount of money here in Syria

    I just wanted to learn how to sharpen my clippers and OMG, I had to gather myself multiple times from laughing so hard from the bantering. This was one heck of a skit I tell ya. Oh, and I did actually learn something from this so thanks for that.

    Did u use glass or plexiglass? Was it water u use on 600 grit sandpaper? I used 220 grit and 150 grit on my clipper blades and it did nothing.

    Enjoy your videos but am wondering why you didn't sharpen both of the blades.
