I
have saved my used rotary cutter blades for many years in hope that someone
would develop a way for me to sharpen them. I've tried a few but they were not
very successful.
The
most recent one I found is the TrueCut Linear
Rotary Blade Sharpener by The Grace
Company (www.graceframe.com).
It
promises to 'Extend the life of your blade'. The sharpener comes with detailed
instructions for sharpening. You don't have to hold it in place when sharpening
so there is added safety.
I tested one of my saved blades and then cut a double
layer, then 4 layers and then 6 layers. I had no trouble cutting 2 and 4 but
cutting 6 was a bit more of a struggle. This tool will extend the life of my
blades and I will use it next time I find myself having to press harder to cut.
They also make a motorized sharpener so you can sharpen your blades with the
push of a button!
