249525 Don Schwartz <dks@t...> 2014‑07‑26 Re: How to fix bent scissors?
One blade is quite straight, the other veers off like a fork in the 
road. I measured the separation at the tips with a rule. The inside of 
the bent shear (the meeting surface)  is convex, not concave.

see what the actual amount of curve is? All good shears have some curve in one
blade, but an actual 1/8" seems excessive. Check it and let us know what the
actual amount is. We can go from there.

vises, a small piece RR track and can heat the blade if need be. How best to
proceed?
