What brand rotary cutter does these blades fit. They don't fit OFLA cutters

I have a Martelli Ergonomic cutter and the HF blades fit fine. They also will work in a Fiskars cutter. I do not own an Olfa so I cannot say, although the Olfa blades fit and work fine in both of my cutters.

Hi Jackie D

The blades are replacement carpet cutter blades and the item # is 97642 they sell 2 for 1.99. On the back of the package it says Distributed Exclusively by Harbor Freight Tools.
I have been using mine since sometime last summer and I have to say they are cutting just as good as the Olfa blades. If and when they get a little dull I run them through folded aluminum foil just like I would the Olfa blade. They work for me.

Good Luck

Sue

Since most rotary cutter blades are interchangeable with other cutters, I would think the 45mm Harbor Freight blades would work on any 45mm rotary cutter.

I ordered 15 packs, the shipping and handling was too high to just order 1 or 2.
I resell them to quilting buddies, at no profit, just adding a % of the shipping cost.

I can tell you what I'm doing with the 50 packages that I just ordered--they are going in the 'goodie bag' for our annual bus trip. I've tried them and have to say they work just great, because they are more reasonable, I'm willing to change them more often.

one more question for those of you who buy these in large Qty...how do you store them?
Here is why I ask, Since I am not sure how good the metal is in them, or what they are coated with....

over time, if they are lubricated, they can A- stick together, B-rust!

I have seen even the Olfa do both...

so I am wondering if you have had any for a long period say a year, and went back to see how they are holding up!

Remember these are not made for the sewing room, they are made for the construction industry used once and tossed out...or sent back for remilling..

NOT on the Gingher....they designed that puppy to use only their blades....of course that could be why it does not sell....well that and the $70 price tag... :lol:

I don't need to buy any, my husband sharpens all my blades and also for all the ladies in our quilting group.

You should check with them. I did the same, but, after not hearing anything I contacted them, and was told that orders must be at least $10. They cancelled my order and I reordered 10 packs and have plenty to last for a good long time

I just found this on Grace company web site. Wait until you see the price.
