Review on Versatile and Adjustable General Tools 55 Cutter - Perfect for All Your Cutting Needs by Barry Hill

I helped others a little with this really good circular cutter. The Allen key provided is metric. So if you don't have metric keys. SAE does not work. Another thing is that after a period of heavy use, the blade needs to be sharpened. The milling insert that I cut the hole in was made from a phenolic material. I've found that keeping a small container of water to submerge the torch in water increases the time between sharpening. Replacement blades are available, but I found (if you can sharpen your edges) a McMaster-Carr 1/4 key. 8630 Alloy Steel Machine Wrench, Oversized, 1/4" x 1/4", 12" long. Part number 99020A425 for $1.92 was the best way to replace the blade. From a 12" you can at least got four blades. Length. You'll need to grind them down using the old blade for reference. It's best to order multiple 12" lengths as shipping will be more expensive than the cost of the part. Update: Since a stock of keys is cheap I bought different types to see which one lasted the longest. Here's my take on which one I liked the best. The alloy steel machine was the cheapest at $1.92 for a 12" piece. It seems closer to the wear of the original cutter.The spring steel machine serial number 98535A150 at $3.23 for a 12" length and a minimum Rockwell hardness of B-91 is worth the replacement cost in my opinion. Retains sharpness longer, but still, like any other steel.. you need water in keep close to keep them cool while cutting. The 98493A136 stainless steel shank, priced at $4.91 for a 12 inch length, may be the most difficult to mold, although not a min.difficulty for him. I just made some of this and used it on the last CD I made. It held the edge perfectly but I only used it briefly to finish the cut and haven't used it since. I use a belt sander upside down on the top of a 5 gallon. Buckets as a base to finish forming my denture molds. To buff them to extremely sharp edges, I use a stainless steel compound on a thick cotton-stitched disc on a buffing machine. The last part of polishing is not necessary to get an edge sharp enough to get a cutting edge as even a 120 grit sanding belt on a belt sander will give you the edge you got on the original blade. I'm currently sanding on a 400 grit belt sander but initially I only had 120 grit on hand and it did a great job. I'll try to upload some photos later when I have a chance to understand the process I'm using. Rachel's father
