Is there a replacement cutting mat (the red strip the blade presses onto when cutting) available?? Is there a mfgr web site or anything?

I lost the docs that came with the cutter, however, as I remember it was stated that the cutter bar could be turned end for end and / or rotated 90 degree steps, giving 8 new surfaces. We have used our cutter quite a bit and I feel that it will outlast Moses. It did not need sharpening, however I took the blade to local tool and die shop for estimate on resharpening and Jeeze, I will buy a new cutter cheaper than resharpening the blade. After all of the above, I'm still happy with the cutter.

I'm sorry. I have not used this cutter too often and never had to face that issue.

I haven't found very much info on the tool at all. It's made in China, apparently, and there is not much info on replacement parts. When I need a new strip I am going to look at Fiskars replacement parts. They make scrapbooking cutting tools and hopefully I can find something there that will do the job. I have read some people flip the strip around when it gets worn to help extend the life of the strip. Sorry I can't help very much.

I believe someone mentioned you can buy a cutter blade assembly from another brand that will fit. I forget the dimensions but the blade size for the MTM is a standard size.

Rikon and sears sell direct replacements. I make my own out of hardboard for each blade I use because I like to have zero clearance. Rough cut it on the bandsaw, double stick tape the original to the new one to use as a template and clean it up on a large disk or stationary belt sander. I leave the double stick tape on the new insert (bottom down) and use it in the saw.If you do this, drill some 3/16" holes to aid dust collection.

I don't know though, if you need a replacement, you might want to try Hock or Lee Valley/Veritas blades - they come in several types for hardness and sharp edges.

Good Day! I haven't replaced the blades, but try ULINE as they have many supplies or may lead you to the right vendor. Good Luck! ~V~

I don't know. I was just getting ready to figure that out. Mine could use a new blade. If I couldn't find it on Amazon I was going to try Lowes. It's my go to store.

i think the model has actually been discontinued, so im not sure you can. i cant find replacement blades for it, so now its useless to me :( maybe the battery is interchangeable with some other B&D; tools? you could always check ebay, too

It does not appear that the cutting blade can be replaced. You may be able to sharpen the blades but replacement does not seem possible. You may want to contact fiskars at 1 (866) 348-5661.

Hi:I used this one only one time, so I also do not know where to buy spare blade.

You can't use the cutter on the cardboard mat. It will ruin the mat and it will dull the blade and may damage it.

I've never found replacement blades for this. Try checking www.simplehuman.com/

Yes they do make a replacement blade and it is sold on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-7933-Replacement-Pruner-15-Inch/dp/B0000BYCT4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355005221&sr=8-1&keywords=fiskars+pruner+blade

Mine did not come with replacement blades. You can purchase them from Amazon too. Just order 18 MM blades. Love this cutter. Very accurate.

From what I've gathered the replacement parts are it. In some cases they're not easy to get a hold of either. The electronics store here in town that sells thousands of these things, in all makes and models, carries not one set of replacement blades. For a while after I bought my first apache s109, there weren't any replacement blades/kits for those, even at the manuf website they didn't exist. I think the ones less than 20$ are supposed to be disposable but I've invested in the replacement blades sets and they're worth it if they engines are still good. The biggest learning experience for me though was learning that some models/makes SUCK right out of the box and its a total loss:(

Search for Stanley replacement blade 20-809. They are expensive (~$15) and hard to find...

You can get spare blades from eReplacementParts.com. Go to "Skil" parts and look in "Misc Skil Parts"

I am not sure where you can get the replacement blades. Maybe try and Google it with the model number.It just cuts straight and on a 45 degree angle.
