Rotary Blade Sharpener
#1
I posted this once before, but it must have been in the wrong place. I'm thinking about buying a Rotary Blade Sharpener for my Olfa. It's expensive so I wanted to get some opinions from you all first. It seems so wasteful just throwing dull blades away when they are so expensive to replace and I could use that $$$ on material. Thanks for your reply.

I bought a Dritz sharpner from JoAnns. Several people claim they are really good. So far I'm not too impressed, I might need to do it another way, but I think there is only one way. The 50% price was around $10

I have the TruCut. It cost about $42.00. I have been using it to touch up the blades. It appears to do reasonably well but doesn't appear to sharpen to new state.
It does not take out the nicks. The suggestion to get the Harbor Freight blades is a good one. I don't believe the TruCut will sharpen to original sharpness and proabably does not save that much from the Harbor Freight blades which are great. The other sharpeners are not worth the $$. Save ouf $$ and buy a fat quarter or a new spool of thread.
