You beautiful lady! I thought I was going to have to buy a new paper cutter because the one you're showing in the video has been discontinued. I could not figure out how to get the blade released. And now...I can sharpen the blades!! Oh happy day! Thank you!!!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for doing this video, I searched all over to find how to change the blade on an older paper trimmer like this. Perfect, and the sharpening is brillant!
You are very welcome
Great Demo.
Thank you.
These little devices tend to produce inconsistent results, prematurely wear out the blade, and break or wear out before they really become cost effective. Having rotary blades professionally sharpened is not expensive. The results are consistent and will drastically extend the life of your blades.
Thanks again for some great content.
Thanks for your comment. You might think that the sharpening stones would cause an issue but as an artist and quilt maker I have used mine for over 15 years with no issues. I have multiple blades for paper, fabric and other uses and sharpen them regularly. After sharpening I have cut the most delicate silks with clean, strait lines. I only replace my blades once every 18-24 months.
i never knew you were supposed to use water. TY!
Awesome!! I didn't realize they made sharpeners like that! Thanks for the tip, Elz!!
Ok I am a grown woman and I can admit it. DUH I had no freaking clue I could sharpen them and have bought tons of blades. thanks for saving me some money. Great video and easy to follow directions as always.
BTW Harbor Freight sells the blades in packs of 2 for 3 bucks!
I love the Fiskars Surecut trimmer, but HATE paying for those V blades. I wish they'd make something similar for sharpening those (I know some people use sanding blocks or those nail tools with the sanding tip).
Wish I could figure out how to sharpen the trimmer blades too. So much waste.
If you have the kind with no nut, the plastic cap itself unscrews.
Thank you 😊
Brilliant. I wasn't even aware that a rotary paper trimmer existed! What model and brand is it?
It is from Fiskars. Best place to find one is on E-Bay.. What you are looking for is a rotary cutter with a standard 45mm blade. Fiskars 9860 or 9580 are both great cutters.
@@Bmascraftycorner Thanks so much for the info! I have an itty bitty cricut trimmer and I went to purchase replacement blades only to realize they discontinued the entire model and there are no compatible blades on the market. 😆 I have a collection of 45mm rotary cutters. This is an awesome discovery :)
Thank you for sharing your video with us. Have a wonderful Friday & an amazing weekend. And Remember “Be like a tree. Stay grounded. Connect with your roots. Turn over a new leaf. Bend before you break. Enjoy your unique natural beauty. Keep growing.” 💗TPL4💗
My paper cutter doesn't have a screw to unscrew. The blade has a plastic piece covering the blade. How do I remove it to get to my blade?
If it is a Fiskars with an orange blade guard you should be able to turn the guard and remove the blade . Look at the guard and see if it has any arrow markings. That will tell you how to turn it and get it off of the blade so that you can remove it.
Where can I get the replacement cutting strip. I found one of these cutters at a thrift shop and the cutting strip that fits in the trough was missing. I can't seem to find one anywhere and it won't cut anything without it. Thanks so much
@@csmmmma I have purchased them on Amazon.
@@Bmascraftycorner Can't find them on there and I bought the wrong one on eBay and the guy won't refund my $$$$ no returns he says. But thanks. What a waste! I can't use the board without it...I'm sad ; (
I found this one. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IC8M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Very helpful! Tfs
Is it possible to sharpen the tiny sliding blades somehow?
I do not think so but if there is I will find it!
Great stuff! :) Tyfs!!
Actually you can remove the rust, crumple up a piece of aluminum foil, wet the blade, then scrub the blade with the foil, until all the rust is gone, or you can soak the blade in coca cola
Great idea, but get to the point sooner, please. Too much not needed info st begnning
Thanks for watching.
