How often to replace cutting blade?

Depends on use and what you are juicing and that it is adjusted according to directions so the blade does not contact the hopper tunnel. Original blade lasted for 20+ years of on and off use.

Usually about 5 yrs, but the one I got on here wss not machined right and had to buy another because it was out of balace and made the mschine dance all over the counter.

I have an Acme that had the same blade for about thirty-five years. It worked, but not well. Then I got a new blade, and the juicer works like new.

Replacing the blade depends on how often and what materials you're cutting. If you're just cutting paper and vinyl, you can go years without replacing it. If you're cutting something thicker or tougher like cork and cardboard, you're going to want to replace the blade more often. New blades are only $8-12 and super easy to change. You have to take the blade out of the cameo when you change the cutting depth anyway. You just turn a switch in the cameo, lift out the blade and either use the slot on the cameo or the extra plastic piece shown next to the blade in the picture to twist the base to the number you need.

I believe they are available from Amazon. I've never replaced the blade myself.

I don't know. I haven't had to sharpen or replace blade yet. It looks like it's just 2 standard razor blades. I was assuming you just replace when it gets dull.

I would get in touch with the Stanley company at http://www.stanleytoolparts.com/ where they ave parts and accessories. Frankly, though, the blade is SO sharp and well-tempered that I would think it would be a very long time before it would have to be replaced.

Same with me also, I would say when the blades don't cut clean and start to pull a bit is when I will replace mine. Hope this helps, -scott

I'm not sure. In my case, the motor does not work any longer, so replacing the blade wouldn't matter...

I replace mine every month. I shave every other day and clean the razor on the Eco setting.

A LONG time. It was years before I had to replace mine, but I don't use it every day. Maybe a couple times a week is all.

Replacement blades are inexpensive for a mach 3? I had one, and I'd probably go through a blade every 10-14 days... at that rate, you're better off buying a new blade/foil kit for this razor 9-12 months or so.

I bought a blade and it cracked after a few months. I just put my food processor away in the garage. Another blade doesn't seem worth it, but hand chopping herbs is very time consuming.

I actually contacted the company that sells the cutter for replacement pads. They sent me an invoice through paypal and shipped them to me. They were pretty reasonably priced. I wish they would sell me a replacement blade, but they won't ship blades.

I am nor sure about replacing it - but Hamilton Beach is a good company so possibly they would replace the blades. It actually has very strong & rather thick blades too. I doubt it would wear out as quickly as the earlier type blades. Thank you for your question - Linda

Honestly, I don't know, but I think I remember 18 mos - 3 years. I think some of the other reviews address this. I do remember reviewers saying that the replacement blades were inexpensive and simple to install.

Depends on how often you use it.I haven't had to replace it myself just yet. I actually only use it when I'm traveling.I've used it over many times (around 2dozen) and the blades still seem just fine to me.It's depends on the person. How fast does their hair grow? How often do they plan on using it in a week? Is this simply for the face or are you using it on the body as well? These factors are going to have a big difference on how often you need to change the blades. I'd imagine anywhere from 8-15 months from constant use on the entire body.

I don't know how long it will last but I have used the original blade for about a year and I have never changed the depth and it is still cutting effectively. Use has been once a week for average driveway and sidewalk edging.

I being using mine for over 8 months and I haven't replace the blade yet, but if you need replacements STD sells them and are easy to replace
