ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for quantitatively measuring the sharpness of cutting edges. The apparatus includes gripper assemblies for securing a cutting medium that allows for adjustment of a cutting medium to specific angular orientations, a sleeve for holding an edge so that the edge is capable of contacting the cutting medium, an electric actuator for relatively moving the edge relative to the cutting medium and a force strain gauge for quantitatively measuring the sharpness of the edge as the edge relatively moves relative to the cutting medium.
