olfa cutter ???-don-isewman
I have a ??, and any suggestions, as to what to do. Does any 1 have a problem with the nut--that holds the blade on your cutter. I'm have a little bit of a problem with the nut loosening up a little. when I cut fabric. Is the cutter/nut wearing out. Is there anyway to keep the nut tight, and any products out there to put on the nut to help keep the nut tight. Don-isewman

Make sure you have the washer in the correct place and facing the right way. I had this problem after changing a blade and did not have it all back together the right way.
I had a package with an image of right way to load the blade and parts but can't find it. Hopefully some one can find a link to this.

Do you still have the wonky metal washer that is between the blade and the cutter?? I have had mine since they first were manufactured and don't remember having that problem. I find with age coming on that I am using my KAI more since it has a better handle for my arthritic hands.

I've noticed the nut on my Olfa cutter loosening a little lately. I just stop and tighten it. I hope my cutter is not wearing out; but it well could be as I use it daily. I watched the video and I am putting the cutter together correctly after changing a blade.
