Description
Cork borer sharpener for hand cork borers, sets 1-18 is a laboratory tool designed to restore clean cutting edges on standard hand cork borers used when boring stoppers and similar materials. Built as a zinc die-cast unit with a length of 180 mm, it provides a stable, compact form that is straightforward to handle at the bench. The sharpener is matched to cork borer sets numbered 1 through 18, covering the common size range found in chemistry, biology, and teaching laboratories. Regular resharpening helps maintain round, smooth bores in cork, rubber, and related stopper materials and reduces tearing or deformation during preparation of apparatus. This accessory from manufacturer Usbeck supports routine maintenance of hand cork borers without complex setup. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,245 kg, it is easy to store alongside stopper and glassware preparation tools. Use it wherever hand cork borers must be kept sharp for reliable stopper boring and general laboratory assembly work.

Questions about Cork Borer Sharpener for Sets 1-18
What is this article?
Cork Borer Sharpener for Sets 1-18 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Usbeck for laboratory use. It sits in Rubber & silicone stoppers, inside Stoppers, caps & closures, in Labware.
A rubber or silicone stopper is pushed into a mouth. The size number corresponds to a top and bottom diameter. Silicone survives higher temperatures and more autoclave cycles. Natural rubber is attacked by oils and by some solvents.
A closure is the part that decides whether a bottle stays shut and whether the contents attack the seal. A ground-glass stopper matches a ground neck. A screw cap needs the right thread and a liner that survives the liquid. Rubber and silicone stoppers push into a mouth. The liner, not the colour of the cap, is the chemical choice. The vessels they close are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
