Rotary Blade Sharpener

Do any of you use the Olfa blade sharpener? I use them all the time for the amount of cutting I do at the Humanitarian Center. Saves the budget a lot of money.

sometimes i hate my computer. Sorry for the other post...sigh. My puter decided to hit Send without me.

As I was trying to say....I use mine a lot, and it generally stretches out the usefulness of my blades by a good 50% of it's normal expected life. Just so you know, though, it's a good idea to buy a new sharpener every 18 months, so not sure how that price fits into how much you save. I always wait for a coupon and get mine at JoAnn's. Love it, love it!

You are supposed to be able to get replacements for the "sharpening rings" but I don't know where.

Is it necessary to buy a new sharpener? There are two rings of sandpaper - one side has a fine grade and the other has a superfine grade. Surely it's cheaper to buy two sheets of sandpaper and stick on a couple rings every 18 months? Anyway, that's what I intend to do when mine starts wearing out!

You'd have to get a very very fine grit, automotive grade sand paper to get it to work properly. I suppose you could do it. I wonder if the old rings would come off easily. Hmmmm, something to think about...
