    Do any of you sharpen your rotary blades? How well does it work? Any tips or advice? Thanks.

    I have a sharpener. It does help but I believe they get dull again more quickly.

    I asked the same question about a month ago - most of the replies came down to the sharpeners don't work very well, so I didn't buy one.

    I don't use one. They don't seem to work that well.
