change the blade when cutting performance decreases - if I can't cut a small object like I normally can - new blade.  I personally use cleancut 60 degree blades for everything.

I don't have any, am already stocked up on Graphtec blades.  I have never heard of any one renewing them. 

This may not fix your problem at all,  It can also depend on the cutter and the vinyl you are using. and your adjustments, Blade should barely be seen.  You can actually take your holder out of the carriage and cut the vinyl, if it is going into the backing at all, the blade is out too far and picking the vinyl up.  It also depends on the design your cutting, on how small of detail, I have not seen a Pcut cut real small details.  But a Graphtec will.

never heard of renewing them either - under a microscope you can see the damage done after time and they are so small and relatively cheap just toss them.  the cleancuts last so much longer you won't worry about it
