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. From Utah, Bev PS You can see a picture of one at the bottom of the page at http://thesewingplace.com/Notions/Cu...otaryTools.htm |

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.

You are supposed to be able to get replacements for the "sharpening rings" but I don't
know where. Pati, in Phx Johanna Gibson wrote: On Thu, 17 Jul 2003 05:37:24 GMT, "Jalynne" wrote: sometimes i hate my computer. Sorry for the other post...sigh.

Love it, love it! 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! -- Jo in Scotland |

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... -- Jalynne Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne or look at my layouts at http://www.azurewave.com/photopost/s...at=500&thumb=1 "Johanna Gibson" wrote in message ...

I use it a lot! I have used one up and had to buy a second one. It
just wore down from continued use. The first one lasted me a good 4 years and I just replaced it about 6 months ago. The only draw back that I discovered was it would take much more time if there were any deep gouges in the blade. juliasb grbev wrote: Do any of you use the Olfa blade sharpener?
