Thanks. I am starting a small home business and will be doing a lot of cutting. I have arthritic thumbs so the rotary cutters are a godsend.

If you are going to be going through many blades, you can get a package of 2 blades for $1.99 ($1.49 on sale) from Harbor Freight. They are in the carpet cutting section, called carpet blades. They fit in a standard 45cm cutter, and are just as sharp. That will save heaps instead of buying brand named blades at a LQS. You can buy them on-line from Harbour freight if there is none near you, but the shipping will be just as expensive as the blades so I would buy up. They might still be on sale for $1.49 per 2/pk. They were last week.
I was at Harbor Freight in W. St. Paul last Monday and they are still $1.49 pack, plus a coupon for 20% off, plus a coupon for a free scissors. Haven't tried the scissors yet, looks like you could cut down a tree or a chicken leg with that one! Edie
