I really like the Orbital sharpener. I got it at www.tooltron.com along with a bunch of their kini seam rippers. I notice they have free shipping til the 22nd.

I bought one but have not really like the results. We have Harbor Freight Tools here in Omaha but they do not carry the carpet cutters.

I am very happy with both sharpeners.

I have been eyeing the rotary sharpener you first mentioned. I really like the idea that the blade does not have to be removed from the handle for sharpening. Is this a tool that is worth purchasing as the sole means of sharpening a blade? At this time I can't justify the cost of the power sharpener, but, I may be able to swing the rotary one. Any info/opinion you might offer would be most appreciated. :-)

If either of you are interested type Carpet cutters or Harbor Freight into the Search section

Do you need their carpet cutter or will the blades fit the rotary cutter?
