The Harbor Freight blades I looked at didn't have the same kind of hole that my Olfa blades do. What part number did you order?

Elizabeth
the number is 97642... If you read the other 'rotary blade from HF' thread, it tells which cutter the HF blades do not fit. I understand there is only one, and I don't think it was the Olfa, but I'm not sure which it was, so you might want to read to be certain. I think the HF blade has a rather generic hole that fits most cutters. It fit both of mine just fine.

You find them at Harbor Freight in the carpet cutting tools department. They are called "Replacement Carpet Cutter Blades" and are item number 95378.

I was just thinking this today, as I was cutting some strips and then had to use scissors to cut through the parts that the rotary cutter didn't quite get.

Hmmm, I am just wondering why my blades have a different number than yours do Audrey. I just double checked mine and they are 97642 definitely. I wonder if it's to do with where in the country one is located? Well, as long as we are getting them and they are working, I guess that's all that matters. Smiles and hugs,

I read on QB about turning blades over. Today I tried it and the blade went through 4 layers like a hot knife through butter!

i just stopped in at harbor freight this evening and they were out of the blade replacements but they had the carpet knife with 3 blades in the pack for only $3.99 so i got that for now. can't wait to try them out and get sharp cuts again. the carpet cutter with the 3 blades in the pack is item #95378 if that helps you all find it.

I just checked at Harbor Freight for the replacement blades and they're charging $1.99 for 2 blades......I should've put my order in sooner. Oh well, still cheaper than Joanns!!

Love them.
