The blade on my 24x12 cutter bends the sheet instead of cuts. I have to push the blade toward the wooden bed and it still do not make a sharp cut. Also, the blade does not stay in upright position (I have to hold it) when I position paper on the bed. Also, does the blade need sharpening? Eva

SOURCE: Using the cutter

you want to print borderless on a cutsheet media? you just have to select and 'cheat' the printer in the printer properties, in there choose roll on the paper source option then enable the cutter and choose double cut on printer's set-up menu on the panel, then it'll cut before and after the printing to make it borderless from top to bottom and from edge to edge. just be sure that the cutsheet media is long enough so that the printer can still hold the media as it finishes the printing or else it'll be a waste, cause the printer wont finish the image. and take note that the epson sp9600 has a limitation in printing borderless, it'll only print borderless on (12", 17", 24", 36:, and 44") media size only i think there's also 14". trust me it'll work, ive done it! :P

SOURCE: When cutting, as it progresses, the cut curves to the rught automatically.

Sharpening a chainsaw is an art. I wokred in the logging industry for 20 years before I was shown how to truly sharpen one well!

It appears that your problem has one of two causes.

1. Sorry, but you may not have filed the chain correctly, a common problem for newbies and some veterans. Ensure that all cutters are filed at the same angle (save your old chain and buy a new one for a quick solution). The file should be worked from the back of the tooth to the point ONLY. The file should be stroked at 90 degrees to the bar and parallel to the line that is inscribed on the tooth (if a line does in fact exist). Each raker should also be the same height - get a raker gauge from your chainsaw shop. If the rakers on one side of the chain are lower than the other side and/or the cutters are filed at significantly different angles on one side than the other the saw will cut in a curve.

If you look at the cutter from the side each one will show a quarter moon filing "circle" and both sides of the chain MUST be equal or close to equal. If one side has a moon and the other does not the saw will cut in a curve so severly it will bind in the cut.

2. A worn bar that is higher on one side of the chain groove than the other will also cause problems - a new bar is the only long term solution for this. The unequal height is caused by incorrect filing of the chain and long term use of the bar with this condition.

If the bar is in good condition and the rakers and cutters are filed properly you will not have to push on the saw to make it cut - it will pull itself through the wood. Indeed, before you buy a bigger saw to cut faster you should ensure correct filing - you may amaze yourself and your buddies!

I am a Certified Faller in the Province of British Columbia, Canada if you are wondering about my credentials.

Good Luck and Safe Cutting!

SOURCE: Blades are not cutting

hi, yes blades can wear out but your sharpener should advise if there is a problem with them. check to make sure the clipper is moving your blades and your blade cannot be removed without depressing the latch. If your are experiencing tram lines with larger blades then it is more likely to be a clipper problem. However if your blades just wont cut i would recommend a new sharpener as it is a specialist area.

SOURCE: Replacement blade position.

The blades have such a close tolerance tip to tip on a V belt deck that it makes no difference where they are positioned, On a 3 blade deck the center spindle is forward of the two outer spindles. So for that reason you still get a quality cut. Most all commercial units use a V belt and have a good quality cut.
Some john deere mowers have a timing belt with cogs like a car and their blades have to be in time
90 degrees perpindicular to each other and locked down and if you strike something then the timing will be off and your back working on your mower instead of cutting grass,and the belts are twice as expensive than a v belt.

The rear right wheel on my John Deere Z225 is scrubbing the frame.

A: Scribbling the frame:
-Possibly the bolts on the wheel are lose. And it turn warble that's why it scrub the frame.
B: Uneven cut:
-Uneven cut is not the tire or wheel. Possibly the height adjust on the cutter deck is broken or lose bolt. Or may be bend cutter blade as well.

How do I fix my blades on my shredder?

Try running a layer of aluminum foil between two sheets of paper. See if it shredds, If it does, do it a couple of times, then use shredder oil. It might help to both sharpen the blades, and to keep them sharp longer. It works on cutting blades for scrapbooking cutters and scissors...

My blades are a little dull will the blades still cut through a bolt?

You shouldn't really be using dull bolt cutters because it requires more force to cut through the metal which increases the likelyhood that you will get an injury. Yes you can use dull bolt cutters but you should always make sure that your blades are sharp before you use them.

Are bolt cutter blades really sharp?

Manual bolt cutters usually have symmetrical V-edge cutting blades.
knife-edge-styles3-uipjjaq4o2dp2d2150uxp5lp-5-5.png
With the sharpening angle in the range of 20-30 degrees.

28bc-7-4-_tbi-_head_on_centre_cut_replacement_jaws-uipjjaq4o2dp2d2150uxp5lp-5-9.jpg
For comparison, the sharpening angle of the kitchen knife is less than 10 degrees.

With such a pretty blunt edge is impossible to cut your finger. But this is the best option for cutting thick metal rods or cables. Like this:

My clippers are no longer cutting. I took it apart today and cleaned out all the hair but I still can't get it to cut. I felt it and it's very sharp it's just not cutting any hair. I have been told it...

there is probably hair stuck between the cutters
remove the cutters from the clipper and you can push the top blade out from under the spring retainer making sure you keep the small plastic runner strip
clean the surfaces and using a flat bladed screw drive insert the blade under the spring and twist slightly to allow the top blade to slide back in
while it feels sharp , it is the sides of the cutter fingers that cut the hair ( like miniature guillotines) and those edges are easily worn off

The cutting mechanism is failing. Result-parallel perferations

This happened to mine after attempting to shred checkbooks. The checkbook spine warped the cutter shaft far enough to allow the cutters to jump over to the opposite position. (Imagine scissors wit the blades back-to-back.)

I fixed mine. All I did was disassemble it and reassemble it. But be forewarned. I consider this an advanced level assembly. Many of the parts are small. Everything takes 3 hands. And the cutter shafts were difficult to get to go into the correct orientation (probably because of burrs on the serrated cutting edges).

Lay everything out on a large enough workbench. Keep track of which pieces go where. And be careful. Good luck!

Problem guiding the direction of cut with a jigsaw.

check that surface plate is square with the blade.don't push too hard,or force the saw,let it cut at it's own speed,guide rather than force.a scroll saw or band saw is more accurate as you control the work piece instead of the tool.

Ryobi 18V Hedge Trimmer Blade Question

I use a dremel with a sharpening stone, if u don't have one you can also use a power drill with a small sanding disk (1 inch) and course sand paper (30 or 40 grit). or you can use a bastard file. its too tight to use any kind of angle guide so just take your time and do it by eye. it shouldn't take much to get them sharp enough to do the job, over-sharpening is unnecessary and dangerous, and will make the blades dull faster. sharpen all the free blades, top and bottom, then start the trimmers to advance the blades to free up the sides you couldn't get. i use a light penetrating oil to clean the blades first, then lithium grease spray to lubricate.

How to use the Total Tool Ultimate Cutter

Exactly cut straight or curvy lines with ease using the Ultimate Cutter. Safer to use than scissors, its cutting blade is enclosed by a plastic shield to keep it safely away from skin and fingers while in use. The shield also ensures perfect leveling by keeping the blade at the proper cutting angle at all times!
The Ultimate Cutter's swiveling head makes even rounded, intricate cuts easy anywhere on the page. A squishy comfort grip makes slippage obsolete.

Comment though > " I really thought this was going to be a cool item sadly it was not. The blade is not sharp and not that you would want it to be with children however ..."
