Why did I wait so long!!
Been struggling to cut fabric all the way through. I finally changed the blade, what a difference! I hope I'm not the only one that does that!

i tend to wait too long as well. what a difference when a new one is used!!
|
I've got one that won't even cut paper.
|
I always figure if they are still round they must be good - same with tires on a vehicle.
|
I save my old blades to cut Christmas & birthday wrap. Works great and I just have a hard time giving up on the blade yet. Maybe it is too dull to cut fabric but still plenty of life for paper.

Somewhere on the internet, I saw a cutting system with ruler having a metal edge that supposedly sharpens the rotary cutting blade as you use it. Didn't bookmark the site, and I don't remember the brand name. I imagine it's terribly expensive, and I don't know if it really works. Would be nice, though.

You are not alone...

Yep, you are not alone. When I realize that I'm pressing harder and harder on my rotary cutter, then I know it's past time to change the blade!

No I think we all wait to long. Friend says I should change for every new project. As I have 3 on the go do I need 3rotary cutters. Nooooo wait until it drives me mad cutting where it misses.
Has anyone used those sharpening tools? Are they any good.? ?. |
