can these blades be snapped in half to be a 1/2 blade?

Yes, and you can use the half blades in a shavette like my barber does (though he uses Dorcos, the concept and application are identical). Just snap it while still wrapped and carefully open the envelope.

Sorry I didn' t purhase these to cut coins in half. I don't now if they can. You might want to personally email the vendor.

No you have to get different length blades for each side. one blade does not fit all.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with 'snap-off' blades so I can't say one way or another. Sorry!

The top two slots are 2 inches wide, max, so a 2 1/4 inch blade would be too wide. Too bad, because it's a nice block.

No, I don't think so. These blades come off when you push a button on the unit. They are much easier to use than taking them on and off with a screwdriver.

Yes, I believe so. I cut them (I think in half) and I have a 4.5x6, so if it was half not 4ths, yes.

I use Shark, I've been very satisfied with them. I accidentally ordered the double blades, but found that it's very easy to snap them in half. I haven't looked to see whether this saves me any money, since the blades are so inexpensive to begin with.

They have 2 blades available they are roughly 2in long and the other about 1 1/2 inches

They arent really intended to be cut - they snap together. However , Id imagine a hack saw / sawsall would cut it just fine.

I heard that you can, but I never have. I think they sell just the blades on the website so it must be doable.

Mine isn't quick release, so I don't know if they'll work for you. These are terrific blades if you want to take a chance.

YES!!!! :-) However the instructions are NOT clear. These are spring loaded and you have to stretch them to fit over the blade. I almost returned them and am SO thankful that I read some of the other comments and tried again. Start at the back and pull forward until it snaps into place - actually opposite of most others. :-) Hope this helps!!

No. Because the carbide tips are 3/16 in wide, They are offset 1/16 in to be able to cut 1/4 in, and reverse for 3/8 in cut. Just use one side of a dado set, or a .125 in regular saw blade.

Yes, you can, but they might not staple as well as the 1/2 inch. I always use the recommended size.

I suppose, but you would loose the finished edge. they do come in multiple sizes

You can use long single replacement blades or you can use double edge replacement blades for safety razors and snap them in half
