I've seen several posts from people who have gotten replacement blades for rotary cutters from Harbor Freight. Today I went to the store, couldn't find them and clerks didn't know what I was talking about. Then looked on line and still don't see them. Can anyone tell me how to find these at Harbor Freight? They have so much stuff! Thanks in advance for any help/

They should be with the carpet cutting equipment :wink:

If you can't get them, Joann's has a 5-pack of Olfa blades on sale for $15.99 -that is about 50% off the reg Plus there is also an additional 10% off coupon good on-line or in-store for any item, on sale or not-good until Sat Nov 13th.

Thanks everyone for your quick responses. I found them on line, although they are back ordered for now. Will also look into ebay. Thanks again!

That's where I buy my blades now. Here they want $54.98 for a 5 pack. on Ebay I get them a lot cheaper than that.

Dang! That's $10+ per blade! I bought a True Cut Rotary Blade sharpener for $39.95 from the Grace Company to extend the life of my blades. Might be worth the investment if you can't get cheaper blades. :roll:

Do the sharpeners really work? I have heard conflicting things about them.

I just got it about a week ago and I also bought a boatload of Harbor Freight blades. The blade in my cutter was relatively new but I tried it out anyway and it seemed to sharpen it. There are a couple other people on this board that have bought the sharpener and they love it--that's why I got it. If you order it from the Grace Company be prepared to wait--it took 6 weeks for me to get it and someone else mentioned that it took a long time for her to get it too! I THINK the complaints were about the kind you take out of your cutter and twist in the sharpener.
