If you have bought a second hand machine, or you really really messed up a cut, ALWAYS check your blade tip under a magnifying glass before cutting again. ![]() ![]() Obviously it's up to you, the Blade is designed to last a reasonable amount of time with care (the machine's only been out a few years and some people are still on their first blade who bought their machines early on) so it's not necessary, just letting you know you can!. But unless you are going to buy yourself an extra Blade Holder as well, you do have to be disciplined about and practise changing blades and have some way of marking them (nail varnish?) and some sort of container they can't escape from for storage. This makes sense if you do a lot of cutting of fine things where you need to know your Blade has a decent edge and point on it. Some people keep 2 Standard Blades - one for fine work for vinyl and tissue & other paper under 80gsm (copier paper) and one for heavier paper. Brother have had the marvellous idea of putting a piece of thick spongy material in the BACK of the official SPATULA HANDLE to stick the blade it to take it out of the holder.
