Did you get an extra set of blades with your stripper? If so I would change them out. If not, then examine the blades under magnification to see if there is a damaged area. You may be able to sharpen the blades with a technique similar to the Harlan stripper. I can post the instructions if you need them.

Looking at my Oppegard I don't see any adjustment for blade spacing but I haven't had the need to take it apart.

Maybe someone has an extra set of blades they would part with.

  Hi All,
  I just obtained a used Oppeguard rubber stripper, that leaves sections of rubber totally uncut. The uncut sections vary in length from a fraction of an inch to a couple of inches or a little more, as well as the rate of recurrance. The crank handle has a very slightly noticeable tightening at one certain point in it's rotation but as I say, it's barely detectable, & since the blades rotate at different speeds, does this indicate a blade with a dull spot or perhaps a blade with a warped area? Has anyone else ever ran into this with an Oppeguard? & does anyone know of a fix or how to get it repaired?

  Thanks,
  James Strickland
