i use a couple, when they are sharp i use it to cut plastic, and when its gets older i then use it on the brass the teeth dont dig in so much on the brass.  I've been using that method for a little while now

Just been using mine mate and you are right about it being better when it is a bit blunt, especially when in thinner brass or tubing etc
