Any way to tell when the blade needs replaced? Mine seems to be cutting slower now but it hasn't been used much at all. Could be the type of wood but I'm just not sure.

As long as the points and edges of the teeth still feel sharp, you should be ok. As with any tool, the brand new sharpness will slightly go away. As long as the kerf is still correct and the teeth feel sharp to the touch it should just be normal wear. Keep in mind there is always the possibility of using a file to sharpen the blade and keep extending the life of the saw without replacement.

I have searched and searched, but cannot find anywhere that sells replacement blades. I've had mine for a couple years now, and use it regularly. I used it a whole lot when I first got it. The blades are still good. I wish there were a way to replace the blades, but it looks like there is not.

I never had that problem, but I would go to Home Depot or Lowes to see if they could cut you another piece of wood that size. They cut wood any size you want for free.

i was very disappointed with the life of the blade... this blade lasted less than 2 months... had other brands that lasted years... customer service said they haven't had problems like this and sent me a replacement... arrived too late in season to try so ???

My saw is blue and I've had it about 4 years if that helps. You might go to Lowes or Home Depot to look at new model. I keep looking for an excuse to chuck my saw and buy a new sliding chop saw but this thing just won't die ! Seriously it crosscuts about 90% of the boards I need cut and I can use my table saw or hand circular saw for the rest. I installed an after market laser which works great. Unless you really need to cut compound bevels or lots of wide boards the basic model works fine and is mush lighter then the sliding models.

Danny,I assume that you have a stone to sharpen it during use. If that doesn't do the trick here is my plan. I'll be facing this problem myself on my next siding/flooring job. I plan on buying a replacement blade for 44.95 and then take the used blade to a sharpening facility. If they can't sharpen the blade once they see it, they might suggest someone else or try sharpening it myself. Again maybe 44.95 is the easiest and might be the cheapest answer. If you plan on doing the sharpening yourself I for sure recommend a replacement blade just in case (for backup). Sorry I can't be more definitive but I hope this helps.Regards,John Livingston Danny,I assume that you have a stone to sharpen it during use. If that doesn't do the trick here is my plan.

I am not an expert on what you are cutting, I cut oak. Just ask yourself, if this blade doesn't cut it, what's the alternative?

Haven't replaced mine yet. Try Poulan on line you don't have a saw shop in your area.

I also have this clipper, but it's brand new. I just did a web search for a replacement blade and didn't get anywhere, even on the Andis site, Since I only paid $25 for the clipper, I'll probably just order a new one when this blade dulls, unless someone else can come up with a place to find a blade only for a reasonable price.one

Hey, so it's been two years that I have this product.. I think I can finally say that I need to replace the blades (or actually buy a new one, it's less hassle and almost same price)It's not that it's not cutting anymore, rather that it feels it's 'pulling' more on the hair than it used to when it was cutting perfectly.I am using the trimmer on average once a week, sometimes more sometimes less,hope I helped

send I pic so I can see! I taped and cut mine like the direction said and had no issues. Have a new blade because you will be cutting into metal!!

You get 1 "E cut" blade (which is a "combo" metal/wood). That may be enough, but I suggest you invest in extra blades. You'll find once the blade is shot, you better have a replacement available.

Also try a different blade. I only use blades in my unit and never had any problems.

I just looked at my cutter, and I don't understand how the blade "jams", unless it has been bent; there is nothing for it to hit, or jam against, unless something has changed shape. How long have you had the Stik? You might contact Fiskars. They have been very generous when I've spoken to them. If you need a replacement blade, they should be able to help you, if the movable blade is bent. If the stationary blade is the problem, I'm not sure if it can be replaced; the movable blade is held by one bolt, so I assume it would be an easy replacement.

not to worry, it will wear out, the positive stops, in about 3 years, no replacement. good home saw not good everyday job use saw!

My wife, who is the primary user, did not use it enough yet to brake the blade - a frequent occurrence I can assure you. That is why we got the more professional machine. Sorry, No new blades yet. No idea where I would go at this time. rlp

Im no expert, but try checking out the container for cracks, take the blade out using the wrench, clean it up and put it back in.
