Frugal ladies, you should try flipping the blade. I do and it works, most of the time cuts like new and I get twice as much mileage out of them before I need to retire them. Now mind you, flipping it can be a dicey proposition but knock on wood,I still have all my fingers. I am on a very tight budget so for me, flipping is the only way to go!!!

Every time I finally break down and change the blade , I ask myself ... why did I wait so long!!??!!! I know I am damaging the mat by using a less than really sharp blade , but I just can 't seem to make myself change more often.... I keep saying "just one more cut.. then I'll change it".
