OLFA 45mm Rotary Cutter Replacement Blades, 5 Blades (RB45-5) - Tungsten Steel Circular Rotary Fabric Cutter Blade for Quilting, Sewing, Crafts, and Scrapbooking Fits Most 45mm Rotary Cutters

Opened package today as Im making face masks. I put the disk downs on my fabric and noticed an odd smell. Then, as I tried to put one of the new blades into the rotary cutter, I noticed my hands were greasy and there were grease stains on my fabric. I had never noticed oil on previous blades Id bought. Theres a coating of CLEAR OIL on each of the blades. Update: Nt just a light coating, but one that drips off the blade Horrible. It is suggested I wipe off the oil, but theres no way to safely get the oil off - remember these disks are sharp, and no way to cut fabric without getting oil on your fabric. Really a huge disappointment and the company should include better instructions on how to remove oil.

These are my favorite rotary cutter blades. They stay sharp for longer and are machined well so there are no irregularities on the edges. I will continue to buy these until someone convinced me there is a better product out there!

I use these blades to cut goody bags to be made for children at Shriners Hospital. The blades are very sharp and work exceptionally well.

Thanks

The blades I received were all stuck together, presenting a very dangerous situation. I finally managed to separate one using hemostats and tweezers but the whole time I was scared I was going to cut myself. The blades need to be individually packaged for safety! Once I was able to separate one of the blades and attach it to my Olfa 45mm rotary cutter, the new blade was duller than the original blade being replaced. I requested a refund from the seller and it was approved; however, I have to pay shipping to return the blades and the sellers shipping is going to be deducted from my refund. Additionally the seller is stating that my problem is the size of the blade not fitting my cutter. I never said there was any problem with the blade fitting my cutter. My cutter is 45mm and the blades are 45mm. I am very disappointed and will never do business with this seller again.

I love these rotary blades, and each blade seems to last a long time before changing to a new blade. My quilting circle highly endorses the use of these blades. The blades are clearly marked (as shown in the photo) so that the quilter knows which side is the front and which side is the back. Ive made myself crazy trying to figure this out with other rotary blades only to flip the blade over so that the blade will cut the fabric and not stall in the rotary housing. These blades are for use with the Olfa rotary cutter. I dont know if the blades are interchangeable with other rotary cutters.

I fiddled around with generic blades and had to change them often. These Olfa are something to write home about. They are good, sharp and last a long time. You get what you pay for. I wont be buying anything else from here on out.

I have now tried 2 out of the 5 blades and both of them have places that do not always cut. Most of the time I have to go back over those spots. The whole idea of putting in a new blade is to get a clean cut first time. Its not like Im cutting multiple layers or anything difficult. This happens when trying to cut a single layer of quilters cotton

What a difference to have these blades on hand! Cant cut fabric cleanly without them.

These blades have been great! I used one blade to cut a regular quilt plus two baby quilts and it is still cutting. The price is so great. I will continue to buy blade here!!! (I know that quilt shops have to stay in business but what they charge for blades is a crime and an insult to their customers!!)
