Question about Harbor Freight Blades
#56
I bought them after hearing how wonderful they are. The one I put on was duller than the one I was replacing and throwing out. They were awful. Too bad, though....it would be nice to get sharp ones at that price.

Grann of 6, maybe some of us do get a bad batch. I just opened a package of two, last night, and had to throw the first one away. How about I send you the remaining one, untouched, in the pack and you can test it to see if it's any different than the ones you have? Send me your snail mail address privately and I will pop it in the mail to you.

This is information for those who have had bad luck with the Harbor Freight blades. One of my friends had complaints and when I examined her cutter it turned out that she had TWO BLADES installed, not one! I showed her and reinstalled
properly. Problem solved. That blade cut like a hot knife through butter. So do check to see if that may be what is going on before you trash them altogether.

Just bought five pks. after using them since last year, they were great. 3pks. of this lot are re-sharpened blades & are awful. When you look closely you can see they are used blades. Oh well they used to be good.

I bought a cutter with blade in it, removed it and placed it in my rotary cutter. (the cutter has a guard to go under the carpet and isn't usable) the price was right and it worked great. I know the company does not manufacture these for our quilting uses, but anyone that doesn't want theirs, I would be glad to buy them! My HF store does not carry the blades seperatly, so I would have to pay high shipping costs to get them. Linda
