T3rry 2 Posted March 14, 2012 Hey sorry to ask a question that I am sure will be second nature to most of you, but i have an MH871 i got about a year ago, used the stock blades until now (i dont use it a lot), i decided i would like to upgrade them, looking for suggestions on which is the best blades for this machine... just cutting standard 3mil vinyl.

Rodger 527 Posted March 14, 2012 Most use the $4 blades from USCutter . Some use the $16 Clean Cut blades . I have only used the blades from USCutter & have been very pleased with them . Some swear by the Clean Cuts . I have read that the Clean Cuts break easier since they are harder . BannerJohn has always used the regular blades & has cut more vinyl than most if not all here . I am like John , we to save money .. so i have never tried the $16 blades . I have a bunch of blades from USCutter's e-bay auctions , both 45 & 60 degree blades . I have cut everything I needed , including some very small stuff with the 45 degree . i will try the 60 degree blades I have sooner or later . Here is the blade page on USCutter http://www.uscutter.com/Vinyl-Cutter-Blades-15 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted March 15, 2012 I use the basic Roland-compatible blades, get them for a couple bucks each on eBay ($10 for 5-pack, free shipping, several BuyItNow vendors offer them at that price point) Never had a problem with them with my MH871, and I use it for making all sorts of signs in my shop. If you want to research this subject further, do a search on the Forums, there have been several discussions about blades here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T3rry 2 Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks for the recommendations, it's not for a lack of trying, i searched these forums plenty of times but just could not find info for my spefici machine and did not want to order the wrong part, thanks for the responses.
