First, let me say what a great source of wisdom this group provides. Please clarify for me what the Harbor Freight rotary cutter is. I have been in touch with my local store and they only have a straight edged cutter. Using that would, I think, mean that you cut toward yourself rather than away from your body. I would not want to do that. So.... what am I misunderstanding? Phyllis Carol

I order mine online. You can get the rotary cutter that comes with 2 blades it is designed for carpet. I don't see a good application for the cutter. However, the blades fit in my rotary cutter at a fraction of the price. I have order 10 pks of 2 blades each. Even with shipping it is a fraction of the price for rotary blades at WalMart. The down side they have been on backorder for a month. Shipping should be sometime this month. Hope this helps.

The blades are actually for a carpet rotary cutter. Here is a link to them.

The actual carpet cutter is in the middle of the page in yellow. The blades will fit a regular 45 mm rotary cutter.
There is also this post as the blades from Harbor Freight are hard to come by:

I just checked. I cut with the HF blade and the Olfa blade. They leave the same mark. Hardly visible.
