Question ... I looked through just about every category, and searched site for "rotary cutting blade" and "rotary blade" and could not find anything remotely similar. What does Harbor Freight call them, and what department are they in?

Saw a few other neat things that I want like the bendy dryer vent brush.

I was so excited about the rotary blades! So cheap & they work great. U can really stock up. I have a store very close to me.

purchasing (if they have)
-bath safety grip handle
-4" magnetic parts tray
-telescoping magnetic pickup tool
-24 container storage box (for feet)


the rotary blades wont fit my 60m rotary cutter so I will not be getting them. Is there anything else I am forgeting?

Why not get and use the 45 size rortary cutter?At $1.49 (my last purchase) it's worth having one.

I might need to. However the closest HF is over an hour away. I did in fact buy three packages. Now I need to get to JoAnne's and use my coupon(if they are no already on sale!).

[quote=mamaheath]They are for carpet cutting from my understanding of reading thorugh all the past posts on here. About $1.99 for 2 blades that will fit a 45mm rotary cutter.


Just a note about these blades. They are made for cutting carpet. IMHO.....they seem to be much sharper blades than the ones we buy made for quilting.

With that said....please be very careful when first using them.

Does anyone know if this kite needs a tail, and where would one put it? I have been having trouble getting mine to stay stable once it's in the air...

IMO, the HF blades lasted a heck of lot longer than brand name rotary blades.

I ordered the blades on line - got 20 for the same shipping price as if I had ordered 1 pkg, so I thought "Make it worth the postage" LOL I'm set for a long time.
