What kind of blades does the machine require? Are they normal exacto blades, or some custom ones built specifically for this machine?

You have to use the custom blades made specifically for the machine (the Portrait and Cameo use the same blades).

Exactly what part broke? I know you can buy spare blades from the same company. It should be in the related items.

Hi, I'm not sure I can find these blades available. Can you send me just a couple to try? What we have now just isn't working. It was a Christmas gift that went all wrong. I am so sorry this has happened. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I sencerely thank you.

Don't know about the blades as I pulled the unit out of the box and realized that it would never hold up to any sort of serious use. (I am a serious user)I shoved it back into the box and sent it back. It's a piece of crap.

It takes special blades made by Feather. They're a lot longer than a de blade. Comparable to the size of a straight razor blade, but probably a little bit smaller than most straight razors. But plenty long enough to shave with.

you can get them at any r/c hobby store. we got one for my grandpa and he lost the blades pretty fast. we only had to pay 2 bucks for a pack of 8.

You need 30 blades for these. It makes a much better cut. I've used 10 and 40 blades and they aren't as good as a 30.

Don't understand question. However, these are terrific blades. Very fast due to oversize rollers. I've owned several sets including one anime set for several years. These are the best, fit snugly and have a variety of creative adjustments that keep the shoe tight, yet comfortable.

It's been a couple of years since I bought it, but I don't think it came with any blades. I ordered a set of Makita blades online that weren't too expensive.

can't tell if you are asking if you need them or where to get them. have used mine for years and haven't needed to get new ones. if you need new ones or want different shapes, Demand Product manufactures the hot knife and makes a variety of blades for it. try http://www.demandproducts.com/Hobby-and-Craft-items/item.php?=&sku=GROUPHKTCRBLADE

Yes, It comes with a standard use blade, Different tasks and materials use different blades though. good luck and enjoy it!

It seems to me that they are standard blades, I don't see why other brands wouldn't fit.

You can purchase the blades from Amazon.com or the Dremel website. I'm certain the hardware stores may be selling them by now also, but I haven't checked into that as yet. I just received my new blades from Amazon and I'm pleased. There were 4 blades and one side cutting blade in the sets. I bought the two blades for wood. Did not order the one for cutting metal as I do not cut metal so may not be using those. Have a great day and I hope this helps. Fay

Sorry, I have looked and looked and cannot find someone who offers a replacement blade. I saw one for $900 but that is 4 times the cost of the machine. Someone said you may sharpen the blade yourself. Lay it on a flat surface and use a very fine sand paper wrapped around a solid block of wood. Be very careful with the sanding strokes and you will be able to achieve a sharp cutting edge. I haven't tried that myself but I intend to.

I used the blades that came with the unit. I haven't bought any other blades for it. When I need new blades, I will go to Home Depot with the unit and get what I need there.

My wife, who is the primary user, did not use it enough yet to brake the blade - a frequent occurrence I can assure you. That is why we got the more professional machine. Sorry, No new blades yet. No idea where I would go at this time. rlp
