    Default Titanium rotary blades

    Has anyone used titanium rotary blades? How did they cut and how long did they last?
    Thanks...

    I couldn't tell you how long they last, but I feel that it's definitely longer than a regular blade. I buy them from JoAnns with a coupon.

    I have a package that I got at JoAnn's with a coupon. I don't remember just how long they lasted, but it was at least twice as long as regular Olfa blades. Certainly worth the cost, IMHO.

    I've switched to both titanium blades and needles. There's no comparing them with the regular ones, both for ease of cutting and longevity. I only buy them on sale so the price isn't that much more.

    My DH ran an errand for me and picked up a new cutter. I lost mine, I don't know how! The new cutter had a titanium blade and wow, I love it. I cut a lot of scraps and It is like cutting butter. I can't say how much cutting I have done but it is way more than a regular blade. I'm sold.

    peace

    I haven't looked a rotary cutter blades in a long time. I bought several packages with coupons from JoAnns a while back. I'm going to have to look for titanium blades. I might just have a coupon now too . . .

    The plate and screws in my leg are made from titanium. It does NOT show up at the airport. Must be good stuff. Dr. says he is leaving it in.

    They last way longer than the regular blade. I try to stock up when the titanium are on sale.
