Rotary Blades
#1
I read it some where that women are buying blades at Home Depot or Lowes or Harbor Freight for their rotary cutters. They are sold as carpet cutters. Has anyone purchased them and how good did you find them? I hear they may not have the little notch and the blades slide. What did your purchase find? How well did the work?

I bought them from Harbour Freight and have them in my cutter now. They work just fine, I found that they're not as thick as the olfa blades but I've been cutting away with mine, so far so good :) :) For .75 per blade you can't go wrong.

I recently picked up the rotary blades at Harbor Freight and couldn't believe the price -- a fraction of the 'official' Olfa blades. The blades are not exactly the same size as the ones for my 60 mm cutter, but they works
just fine. I find them at least as sharp, if not a little sharper. While I'd probably prefer the ones made specifically for the Olfa cutter, the price difference makes the Harbor Freight ones definitely worth it!
The biggest upside is that I don't hesitate to change blades the way I did when they were several $$ apiece!
