If the self sharpening feature works, it doesn't work well enough to suit me. I use a cone shaped Dremel grinding bit to keep it sharp. I sharpen it every six months or so. I just rotate the bit by hand in the punch - doesn't take long before it's better than new.
Plate's probably worn out. I like the Dremel idea though, never thought of that.
