Rotary Cutter Question
My rotary cutter blade tightens up and will not roll as I am trying to cut. I changed the blade a couple of times. Anyone know what it wrong?

Maybe the washers are not in the right place when screwing the screw in to hold the blade in place.
|
I'll double check. Thanks!

At least with Olfa, the washer must be placed right before the washer so that the washer makes a tent against the body of the cutter. I don't know if I am explaining it right.
Google changing a rotary cutter blade and you get an Olfa video. |
Good to know about the video. I forget how it was put together immediately after taking it apart! Old age setting in?
|
I got what I thought was a good deal on an off-brand rotary cutter. The bladed wouldn't turn no matter which way I put the washer in. Into the trash can it went.
|
blade in backwards maybe, 2 blades stuck together, just a few ideas
|
Does it need a drop of oil?

Great idea--I have had that happen to me more than once...only to find I had my washer/nut on wrong--not to mention a few times with more than one blade!

I have had the blade get jammed into a groove formed in the bolt. Hubby provided me with a thicker washer temporarily. I think the thing just wore out.
