The stick takes the blade as it exits the stack, so it wears in a groove and a blade landing in an old groove cuts raggedly. Rotate or replace on a schedule rather than waiting for the cut to deteriorate. Sticks are machine specific in section and length. Budget them alongside blades rather than as an afterthought. See paper drills, paper cutters and commercial cutters.
