Still helping people so many years later - thank you

I’m confused as to why you did the flat side on one edge and the face of the other edge because when you turn it around you flipped it upside down too why?

What kind of file are you using on the flush cutters

Thank you

Thank you I messed up my brand new pair . now I know how to resharpen them and make them like new again

You have two videos

Thank you ~

Cute

I could not tell if that was your camera being low resolution or if those cutters actually snipped that wire without squishing it.

Wish you have focus the camera, so will be able to see clearly how you were doing it..thanks for sharing though

Except now they aren't flush cutters anymore. But they are maybe good enough for jewelry work. Buy the best tools you can afford and when they become unserviceable, find a professional that orthodontists and podiatrists use and have them serviced correctly. Proper tools and service don't cost more in the long run.

step one - using the file.......... are you changing the profile geometry of the cutting blades? On mine- the backside appears to be ground flat with the blades together. And the angled cut only happens from the top. Seeing you file at an angle suggests to me your tool is different or that - you're just changing it up and making them better than the ruined state

I have found a long time ago that removing a burr with a file or diamond grind still leaves a nick. Removing that requires very much further grinding. If the cutter blades are with carbide inserts, diamond grinding is the only way. But often the cutters are soft enough to allow me to use a ball pein hammer for largely flattening the burrs. After that considerably less filing is required. No more light shining through the damaged and repaired “holes”.

What is that stone called and where can I get one

Amazing! This is so great and perfect when nail polish is getting old and isn't good anymore. Now I know what to do with my older stuff. I make nail art videos if you are interested in checking those out.
