Actually sent my husband in and he bought 4 pkgs.
Not sure who first mentioned these but THANK YOU and to all the newbies, this is a GREAT buy.

I am so sad about this. We pay about $15 each for a rotary blade in Australia, and $20 for a large blade. So when I saw the first thread on Harbour Freight I tried to order the blades on line. Guess what, I can't buy on line. I contacted the store to find out why not, and had a very nice email back explaining that they cannot be shipped overseas as they are classed as weapons!

I shared this during "Show and Tell" with my guild. I made 80 new converts that night.
If you are not familiar with these, here is the link to see them:
http://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of...des-97642.html
Note, online, they are on back order. If you going to buy them local, you might want to call first. Their website also has a store locator. I didn't even know we had one in our town...and for heaven's sake, don't tell them what we are using them for!

I also went to Harbor Freight and brought 2 pkgs of these blades and did not have very good luck using my Olfa 45mm rotary cutter. It cut my material like a worn out blade and had to take the scissors to finish cutting. Think I will invest my money in a electric sharpner for rotary blades.
