Abstract
A magnetic sharpening jig, in particular for holding, by magnetic force, a cutting tool which is to be sharpened or polished and which includes a magnetizable blade, and for positioning said cutting tool relative to a sharpening and/or polishing tool, e.g. a rolling sharpener. In order to provide a versatile magnetic sharpening jig, the magnetic sharpening jig includes at least one flexible contact element with which the magnetically attracted blade of the cutting tool comes into contact during normal operation. Also disclosed are a set including a magnetic sharpening jig and a rolling sharpener, as well as a method for sharpening or polishing the cutting tool using the magnetic sharpening jig.
Claims20
A magnetic sharpening jig for holding a cutting tool to be sharpened or polished, comprising:
- a flexible contact element configured to contact a magnetizable blade of the cutting tool,
- wherein the magnetic sharpening jig is configured to hold the magnetizable blade of the cutting tool in contact with the flexible contact element by magnetic force, to thereby position the cutting tool relative to a rolling sharpening or polishing tool.
A magnetic sharpening jig for holding a cutting tool to be sharpened or polished, comprising:
- an elastic contact element configured to contact a magnetizable blade of the cutting tool;
- and
- a plurality of magnets configured to generate magnetic force,
- wherein the contact element covers the plurality of magnets, and
- wherein the magnetic sharpening jig is configured to hold the magnetizable blade of the cutting tool in contact with the contact element by the magnetic force, to thereby position the cutting tool relative to a rolling sharpening or polishing tool.
A magnetic sharpening jig for holding a cutting tool to be sharpened or polished, comprising:
- a flexible contact element configured to contact a magnetizable blade of the cutting tool,
- a body on which the contact element is arranged;
- and
- a plurality of magnets configured to generate magnetic force,
- wherein each of the magnets is inserted and fits precisely in a receptacle in the body,
- wherein the contact element covers at least one magnet-receiving opening in the body, and
- wherein the magnetic sharpening jig is configured to hold the magnetizable blade of the cutting tool in contact with the contact element by the magnetic force, to thereby position the cutting tool relative to a rolling sharpening or polishing tool.
