To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Scissors and shears for soft flexible materials have edges commonly 90°, seldom less than 60°; the blades should be curved and not straight; they may be loose when at right angles to each other, but should begin to cut near the joint, they should not be loose when they are sufficiently closed to cut, and they should leave the cut edges, exact. Shears for metal act somewhat differ- ently from scissors, they force the material asunder; their SCISSORS AND SHEARS — SHARPENING TOOLS. 291 edges are m...ore obtuse than those of scissors, and are seldom more acute than 80°; they commonly have straight blades. It is of primary importance that the edges of scissors and shears meet, as if they are separated the labour is enormously increased, the material is torn, it gets between the blades, becomes jammed, and with metal shears the bar or plate is tilted and the shears are strained, or perhaps broken. In working India-rubber or gutta- percha, bent scissors should be preferred; to cut India-rubber they should be used wet, but for gutta-percha they are only required to be wet when the material to be cut is soft.
