[quote=gangles]I went to my local Harbor Freight and told the clerk I wanted them to special order ten packs of the blades for me, I had the part number with me, and they did. It took a month for them to come in but I did get them.[/
========================
Could you PLEASE share that number with us? Just last night in conversation with a neighbor I discovered I had a Harbor Freight less than 10 miles away, and here I'd been planning to go 40 or more miles away in a few days!!

Question for those who have bought HF blades.
when you go to the store, how many pkgs of blades do you find? Have there been more than 10? I am curious as to how many they are ordering. If they are selling out so quickly one would think they would increase their order. And, those who come to buy blades will likely buy other items. IF they discontinue them, it might be because they cannot get them. It sounded strange to me that they add this carpet cutter to their line of products and offer so few replacement blades. If they knew quilters were buying them, they could increase their inventory and increase their sales. Then again, maybe the supplier is having trouble getting them. We need to talk to management and find out what is going on within the company that holds the blades to some minimum number. Just think what would happen if they got a big box of them with a GROSS of those packagers. WOW!
Let find out and spread the word. The word has spread here on QB pretty well. Keep up the good work.

I know what you mean I had went to Harbor Freight to get some blades last Tues. and they didn't have any single pkgs. of blades either. They had another thing with blades in it but I didn't need to get that.

Something about this reminded me of when I tried to get another marvelous carpet cutter. Months later I went back and they said they no longer carried the Blue Thunder carpet cutter, they had no way of ordering, they simply took what their suppliers furnished them. The first one, Blue Thunder, worked nicely with my 70 plus year old hands in taking up a room full of carpeting that I had hated for so long. It cut the carpet like it was denim. The new one I bought didn't work as well at all on another carpet, gave me blisters. And not one of them had a circular blade !!!
Sorry, this was at Home Depot, never heard of Harbor Freight at that time.
