I've been having trouble with my rotary cutter and finally my DH looked at it and discovered that the hole the screw went in was all worn and mis-shaped. Its so much better now with a new cutter. Didn't know those could wear out- DH said now he knows I quilt too much.

I've had mine for years and it's getting sort of wobbly but I never thought about it wearing out like that. Guess I need to check mine out. Thanks for the heads up.

It is my understanding that they are guaranteed for life. I think you should call them, i bet they will send you a replacement. Assuming yours is an Olfa

ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..... I have spent the last week sharpening my blade because it seems to have a flat spot that I cannot see... betting this is the problem with my handle as well. Quilters are such a neat bunch! We learn from each other every single day!!!

Had a problem with my Ofla, and they do replace parts..

Have not had this problem yet!

What an ah ha moment! I kept thinking I had a set of warped blades. After your comment, I looked and mine is worn also. I guess all that pressure gets to those plastic parts. Off to buy another.

I've been changing blades after cutting only for a short while ..... maybe this is the problem. I've been wanting a different rotary cutter anyway ..... thanks for the insight.

Check with Olfa...if it's an Olfa, they have replaced parts for me for free.

Goodness, I buy new rotary cutters often. None of them are used over and over so they aren't getting worn out fast at all. I use Joann's 50% off coupons or Hancock 50% sale to keep a new cutter handy all the time. My last one was the Olfa Quick Change. I got it 75% off at Tuesday Morning store.
