Will the broadhead sharpener work on mechanical broadhead blades?
A. Yes, except for the very narrowest blades and blades with concave designs. Mechanical blades are generally narrower than standard replacement blades and bleeders. For any clamp type sharpener to work, the blade being sharpened must be wide enough for the clamp to grip the back of the blade and still have enough blade extending out in front of the clamp to contact the stone. Otherwise, the clamp itself will contact the stone. The clearance between the clamp and stone can be increased by running the clamp over some sandpaper just like you were sharpening a blade. Tighten the clamp with no blade in the jaws, then run the sharpener over the sandpaper on both sides of the clamp to sand down the front edges of the jaws. Just be careful not to over do it. You want the tips of the jaws very thin but not so thin that theyre actually sharpened.
