bikemike 711 Posted October 12, 2013 So, I ordered one of them china blade holders and 5 60* blades. thought they where crap. Got bored the other day and set it up. I know, they ain't clean cuts, but not bad. Must be the graghtec. Easy to weed for vinyl I do not like at all. (mactac) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rodger 527 Posted October 12, 2013 I am sure the clean cut blades cut better for longer , but being harder , they are more brittle . I bought up a hundred or 2 regular blades on e-bay a couple years ago for around $1 a set . . I would buy some clean cut blades if I ever found them cheap , but at around $15 each , no . BannerJohn , the administrator has posted he has always used the regular blades and has been satisfied , so that alone is good enough for me . Only the reflective vinyl takes a toll on blades , the regular vinyl is so soft , it doesn't wear the blades much at all . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coaster36 327 Posted October 12, 2013 Rodger is right, once you get a regular blade set up correctly, they last really really long. I blew through two blades in a month on my old copam when I was just starting and didnt have my blade set correctly. Once I fixed that the blade lasted about a year and a half, its still fine too, I just dont run the copam anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted October 12, 2013 When I use cheap blades I get about 2 month out of them. Cleancut is closer to a year. Difference isn't life expectency vs. cost it's more about he quality of my fine detail for me and Cleancut wins out there. I cut a fairly large amount of vinyl and have not found any blade that does detail as clean and crisp as the cleancut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
