I'm looking for a cutter that doesn't require replacing the blade...is this true for this cutter?

All cutters will need blade replacement and/or sharpening. The blade would grow too dull otherwise. If you don't want to have to replace the blade I suggest getting a low priced paper trimmer from your local craft store or Walmart etc. Then you can just toss the entire thing when the blade dulls. Other wise you should invest in a heavy duty paper trimmer with the arm that comes down to cut. While pricier the blade stays sharp longer.

If you can find a cutter where you never need to replace a blade, please let me know! I've never seen such a thing; however, in my experience, titanium blades last much longer than steel blades. I do love my cutter, but don't buy it for the light feature. I am disappointed in Fiskars for that. Buy it for the size and cutting. Awesome.

I just purchased Fiskar's top model - at least as I understand it - called the ProCision Rotary Bypass Trimmer. Fiskars is very clear that this blade does NOT EVER need to be replaced. Check it out; it has fabulous reviews on Amazon - better reviews than this trimmer. (I haven't used it enough yet to offer an informed review of the product.) Amazon's price is awesome, by the way. At Joann's, the ProCision sells for $120! Of course their coupons help. Fiskars 12 Inch ProCision Rotary Bypass Trimmer (100580-1001)

I understand the CutterPillar blade does not need replacing, at least not "for years." I have not tried one, though, and they seem to be currently sold out. Just thought I'd add- they do sell some refurbished models on ebay.

The blade eventually dulls and needs to be replaced. A few decorative blades are also available to insert. The blades are very easy to replace. Grab the rotary blade on the sides and lift gently being careful not to let your other hand get in the way! (Don't ask how I know this!!)

Get the cutterpillar. The way it's designed it sharpens as it cuts so it never needs replacing. It's VERY pricey and something you'd need a designated cutting station for since it's also very heavy. People who own it swear by it, but I prefer something that I can stow away as I don't want to lose counter space to a trimmer.

I have not changed the blade on mine yet, but this is the address I was given when I asked about a replacement blade. I have not been to the site, so I hope it helps you.Replacement Blade for 12" Professional Guillotine Paper Cutter A4

If it breaks, you won't be needing a replacement.The same goes for the blade braking.....

No, it doesn't come with a replacement blade, but you can get them at fabric stores, quilting shops and on line, including Amazon.

I don't know and I don't think you can but it looks very durable that will last. I don't think you can find blade replacements either as it would be to hard to install. I don't use it that frequently as yet but I am happy with it. I recommend it for the price but be aware the it comes with the adaptor connected that it is from another country so you will need to buy from a cheap bargain stores an adaptor connection to suit our Aussie power points.

Haven't bought a replacement blade, but i saw them on Amazon for about $8 That is not a bad price, or I should say it is the best price. When using that edger do not concrete with the blade or any other blade because it will wear very quickly. I let somebody use my old edger once and I could see him acroos the street hitting concrete edges and corners, my blade was dull after that.

If it's something that can't be replaced or duplicated, I wouldn't risk it. This is NOT a dependable cutter!

You get 1 "E cut" blade (which is a "combo" metal/wood). That may be enough, but I suggest you invest in extra blades. You'll find once the blade is shot, you better have a replacement available.

No the blade is just a straight shape edge. There are holes throught the blade above the edge so what you are cutting does not adhear to the blade.

Cutter is a nice piece to have, not exactly sure how many sheets it will cut at one time, as I have not counted them, but it should be able to handle what it says, one note is, the more paper you have in, the more pressure you need to put when cutting, also you may have to do multiple passes. I still prefer this model of the other type where the bar goes up and down, those we had at work and after 6 months the blade needs adjustment and more times than not would need replacement. This unit lasts longer and is easy to change a blade when needed.

This an old picture as it does not have replaceable cutters. I would not buy this unless you see replaceable cutters.

I searched the web for replacement blades and realized how expensive they were. So, I chose to look on Ebay and find aftermarket ones there. The only thing about using them is they do not adapt to the thumb press release to change blades. You have to use a screw and tightly secure the blade in place. But, the replacements from Ebay are worth the extra "trouble" to use and just as good a blade as Porter Cable. Here is the link to the blades: PC18; 12Pc Blade Variety PK Oscillating Multi Tool Saw Blade fits Porter Cable

No just go to Lowes or Home Depot to get the blades. Just ensure you are using the right type of blade for the material you are trying to cut.

i am not sure, though, I have never needed to replace it. Usually the blades need to be straightened and resharpened after a harvest.

Yes, I purchased a replacement blade also. I've had to remove the cover a few times to remove stringy fresh hedge clippings and it's real straight forward. Looks like a small lawn mower blade.

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~

No, but I've had one of these for about ten years now, and it's just started having problems cutting within the past month. I looked to see if it could be fixed, but it looks like I'm better off just to replace it.
