I must have gotten a bad batch too. I recently purchased 10 packages and I've opened up 4 of them. Not one blade cut fabric worth a darn. I've tried everything--cleaning, rotating, making sure the blade is not screwed in so tightly, adjusting and I just can't get any of them to cut fabric. I guess I'll just use them to cut paper.

Out of 10 packages I have had one bad blade thus far. From what I'm reading I guess Quality Control is not their strong suit. :|

I just put two in two dif rotary cutters yesterday and they both work great!

That has been my experience with HF blades. I don't buy them.

As with anything one will get "duds" once in a while, I have had the same issues with the expensive ones. For all we know they could be from the same manufacturer. Different packaging, same product. My husband sees this in his power tools.... Dewalt is Black and Decker with a yellow casing. Porter Cable, Rigid, Black and Decker, Dewalt, Craftsman, Hitachi are manufactured in Asia at the same factory just different colored housings. The company is know known as Stanley/Black and Decker. |
I have some and they work just fine for me. Sorry you're having troubles.

If the blade is too tight it will not cut. Believe the blades are a bit thicker.
If I can get it to work, I double thank you. :-) |
