Blades are expensive, I want to make mine last as long as possible!

That looks like an interesting set up! I had the Tru Sharp rotary blade sharpener and I wasn't too impressed with it.

I checked and you must have bought the last one from Amazon! lol

maybe they'll get some more in.

oops!! just found them on Amazon. Sorry. I ordered one and hopefully it will save a few blades.

It was a few months ago, and I thought Amazon was where I found it, but I have been known to be wrong before on at least a couple of occasions! I had looked a while to find the best price. Couldn't find one locally. If you do a search you can probably find one for less than the $40. I'm pretty sure I paid $29.99 and got free shipping, just wish I could remember who I ordered it from.

A friend of mine gave me a blade to try from Harbor Freight and it worked just as good as the name brands. She paid $1.99 for 2 blades. I couldn't believe it until I went there and saw it for myself. They are used for cutting carpet.

I can feel your pain...and your relief!

Its amazing how well they cut after a blade change isn't it? I just changed mine too. I had to learn how to cut all over again. No won't my self healing cutting board won't heal. hehehehe!

Yeah, wondered why my flannel(200 sqs for rag quilts) was getting hard to cut. Duh.

Sounds like a dead spot in your mat rather than the blade.
