rotary blades

I get the carpet blades at Harbor Freight (thanks to somebody telling me about this a few years ago) and haven't had a single problem with them. I get them when they go on sale for $.99 and there are two in the pack. If I do get a bad one in the future I will not mind because I've had so many good ones so far. It is worth it to me to change the blade every few quilts because I can use the blade for paper projects.

What a difference they make. You have to buy same brand blades as your cutter. Fiskars blades won't work in an Olfa cutter for example.

I use different blades in different cutters. I buy and use whatever is on sale. They fit and work just fine

I just purchased 10 blades for $20.00, free postage. Hopefully they will be ok?

I just found some in Harbor Freight (45mm), 2 in a pkg for $1.99 and they work great.

What kind of cutter do these blades fit? I would love to try them.

I use them in Fiskars and olfa

The Harbor Freight blades are the 45mm blade and should be interchangeable with a rotary cutter that takes the same size blades.

Please please please try the TITANIUM blades that M* sells. You will not be disappointed. They last so much longer. I gave one to my LQS owner to try at her cutting table in the store. That has been 3 months ago and she is still using it. She is now a believer, too.
