Rotary Cutter Blades - sharpen or buy new ones
I am debating about purchasing a new rotary blade sharpener. Is this cost effective, or should I just purchase new blades? Thanks for your advice!

I've used a ruler called Sullivans The Cutting Edge - it has a sharpener on one edge - seems to work very well. I just use it for a few cuts and then go back to my regular ruler. Probably won't work forever but it does extend the life of the blade.

Usually when my blades need to be replaced it's because I have run over a pin and have nicked the edge. No amount of sharpening will help that problem. I also have had good luck with the Harbor Freight blades, though I understand there have been some quality control problems that have caused some people to have bad experiences with them.

Thanks to all of you. You all share my feelings - just buy new blades. I have never been happy with the sharpener that I have; never seemed to really restore the blades to the original sharpness. I, too, get my blades at AJ Hittle. Thanks again ladies!
