Thread: Reasonably Prices Rotary Blades

good price. but i still buy the ones harbor freight has. i believe they are 2 blades for $2. works for me. and then there's the coupon.

Have never been able to find the blades down here. But half the people that work there don't know what you're talking about. I even took my rotary cutter with me. They thought it was a micro mini saw blade and just said they were out after I showe it to them.

I agree, I have no issues with them. When a blade get dull, I use it for gift wrapping, paper cutting. Can't beat the price. I am always finding something at HF.

I just wanted to post this because I have had such a good experience with them.

No affiliation with this seller, other than just being a very pleased customer several times. I figure with the prices of fabrics, I owe it to myself and my outcome to invest a little more and not get so frustrated in the process.

The link does not work for me

The blades from Harbor freight will ruin your cutting mat. Ask me how I know this? Lol

I had horrible luck with Harbor Freight blades. They skipped and wouldn't cut worth a darn and yes, they wreck your mat when they are so dull. I have been reading mixed reviews on them all the time. I've come to the conclusion that different Harbor freights, sell different brands or kinds of blades. All of us quilters know a good blade from a bad blade, so it has to be that they are not all the same. I tried every one in the package and they all were not sharp enough to cut without skipping. I even have a blade sharpener and tried sharpening them, they just were low quality blades.....
