Harbor Freight has 2 blades for $1.49 - they are on back order but I just ordered 20 packs of 2 for $40.65 that includes shipping. I know I'll have to wait for them, but I still have a stock so I hope they get here before I run low. now that's a good deal. 40 blades for $40.

You ladies are really something. Imagine if we were all president of the USA. Things would really get done.

I think you still got a great deal....you didn't pay too much!

Just some of us can't even get any from Harbor Freight cuz they've been sold out.... so if you need rotary blades, what you paid is a he**va better than $4.59 a piece! Look at the savings you got.

warm quilt hugs, sue in CA

Here in Australia I have paid $12. The quilt shows I get 3 for $10 so I try and get a couple of sets if I have the money to do it. I usually go twice a year and stock up if I see them. I do have a list of what I want and look out for them every time. They are the generic brand but they do me alright, unless I am doing a lot more cutting than I use to. Next show is coming up soon and I will try to be there first day as always. You are lucky to get them so cheap.

Theres another one in Fayetteville too.

Its about 25 minutes from me, but its worth it. And if they don't have the rotor cutters, I will go again!

This is the kind of feedback I have been waiting for. Thanks.

Make sure you check all of the threads on this subject. The feedback is pretty conflicting. I'd say it's running about 70/30 in favor of the HF blades. One gal mentioned that she was having problems with skiping until she looked closely and noticed that there were two blades in her cutter. Not saying your not having problems, but some people even have problems with the name brand blades.
Have a great day! :XD:

Not really true for me. I've stated earlier they cut just like a hot knife through butter. No pressure at all.
