I learned that Harbor Freight does not order a large amount of the carpet cutter blades. I have gone there just after their delivery, and never saw more than 10 except one time, and that time there were 11 packages. I purchased ALL of them and offered them for sale here. Postage is minimal, but if you want 5 packages it is going to cost more in postage because of the weight.

June in Cincinnati

I ordered 2 packs online a while ago. That's all I could order. The shipping was way more than the cost of the blades. Not sure if it was a good deal or not?

I did find something that had three blades in it,not telling that person might go in and buy all of those to.

Must have been the carpet cutter and 2 extra blades. 3.49???

Yes, thats what I bought. I got 3 packs plus the cutter with another blade. They work just fine.

Maybe I am better off without them, as I use that ruler a lot. :)

I don't beleive that is true. I have them and if anything they are thinner that the regular blades that cost so much.

Order on line, perhaps you will have better results.

they are called replacement carpet cutter blades...Part number 97642. I bought mine in Indianaplis Indiana this summer. They work fine. The cost has gone up from 1.49 to 1.99 for two replacement blades. but compared to ordering from a notion supply house they are a goood buy.

I hope you weren't going to the airport to board a plane. If they found them, they wouldn't let you take them on the plane. Not a good way to start a trip by getting arrested. haha

My brother went to Harbor Frieght and picked up the one package they had for me. I may just order online. But he said he will check everytime he goes . I bought a bunch of blades from jhittle some time ago and still have quite a bit. so its ok if it takes a while to get here.

I bought some from HF and it kept skipping, left a huge mess of my fabric having to cut over it 2-3 times and then having a spot or two missed. Is there a right and wrong way to put them in the cutter? Was very disappointed.

Nope, I was just picking one of my kids up. If I was boarding who knows if they would have found them or not and of course us quilters look so dangerous!! :lol:Hope she can get out tomorrow - this storm coming in is going to raise havoc with the airlines.
