(06-26-2018, 06:16 PM)Ken SOne other surprising minor success: I have the scissors jig for the Viel. I had a custom part machined to be able to use the Wolff scissors holder. The adaptor was not properly reamed. I could tap it on with a hammer, but not remove it. This meant that I could not use the Viel scissors holder (second model, improved). Wrote: Several years ago I purchased an electric heat gun. I thought I would try heating the collar. Like magic, it loosened.
The collar has two threaded holes in the end which stuck. I suspect a ream in the shaft hole will make quick work of the problem and I will be able to use both scissors holders. It has been a good day.
Hello,
I found this site thanks to Sharpeners Report and the "Viel Conversion". I will convert my Viel S5 to variable speed according to the instructions posted here. THANK YOU everyone that worked on these instructions!
Now, I'm seeing another (major to me) success in that you converted your Viel scissors jig to use a Wolff scissors clamp holder. I've thought several times that this would be a GREAT step up from the Viel clamp but how to do the conversion is beyond me.
Would you please advise the particulars of how you accomplished this? And, which Wolff clamp did you use.
THANK YOU in advance for sharing your thoughts.
