The small Affilella Junior sharpener is a practical and economical machine that is ideal for sharpening all kinds of knives and scissors. It allows to sharpen different types of blades, regardless of thickness and angle, thanks to its versatility: in fact it is possible to vary the sharpening angle by replacing the 2 stainless steel angle blocks placed on the sides of the machine.
The super abrasive CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) coated grinding wheel ensures an excellent finish without heating or burning the blade, as it is quite a few quick passes to sharpen. The sharpener has a switch to reverse the wheel rotation and is therefore ideal for sharpening double bevel knives and both scissor blades.
The corner blocks, (interchangeable and customizable) are placed at the sides of the grinding wheel CBN, and serve as a support in order to obtain the desired angle of sharpening. Two 15° dowels for sharpening knives and a 50° dowel for sharpening scissors are supplied with Affilella Junior, but the reference blocks of any required angle can be purchased separately.
