Input anyone? I'm thinking about trying it. Electric for $69.95.

I think I will stick with my Harbor Freight blades at that price. Good luck with it if you buy it... If you decide to get it let us know how it works.

I'm with Beth, I think I could buy a ton of blades for that kind of $$. I do, however, worry about what becomes of our blades when we are through with them and if there were a way to restore them to near their original condition, I'd love to know about it. If you buy it, please post a review!

I have one and rarely use it. I believe for the amount of use it is not worth it. I tried it a few times and while it did sharpen up the blade it was not at new condition. Unless you use a lot of blades it would take a lot of time to make it pay for itself. So calculate the frequecy of changing your blade against the $69.00.

I heard it only gets the nicks out and doesn't really sharpen. Watch your money.

I bought one and I'm not terribly impressed.

I hear the long one is worth the money from a teacher I took a class with, she said you just swipe your blade across it just like new

What does Harbor Freight charge for their blades? Isn't that the store that carries work tools? Do the blades fit Gingher and Olfa?
Thanks :D

I just bought some Harbor Freight blades, $1.49 for 2. They are in the carpet cutting area.
