Thanks. I am starting a small home business and will be doing a lot of cutting. I have arthritic thumbs so the rotary cutters are a godsend.

I bought the dritz hand sharpener from Joann's and it didn't work very well. I just bought an electric one from connecting threads, $52. If it works it will be worth it with the expense of the blades. I bought $10 of harbor freights blades and most of them were just as good as the expensive ones. I had one of the expensive ones and compared them and the expensive one dulled faster than the harbor freight one.
I had tried a stone and lathe to sharpen but I am not steady enough to keep the right angle to sharpen. I will let you know what I think of the electric sharpener.

You might want to check out the carpet blades at Harbor Freight. A lot of folks here swear by them and they are really cheap.

I bought lots of em and they are much sharper than the expensive ones from LQS! I used one for months without having to change it, I was shocked that it lasted so long. And it cut 'like buttah'
