I bought mine from Seiki Tech. I haven't had any problems yet. I compared them with the Cricut blades when I received them and they looked the same, and they cut with the same settings. I think other people have bought from different suppliers with no problems. Look carefully at the store reviews and check the return policy before you buy. HTH

I thought that was the Ebay seller I bought mine from, so I went and checked. Same people. They had the best price and feedback score, so that is why I chose them. I'll have to check all of the blades. There are 5 in the box. If they are all short, I'll have to resell them. Thanks for the tips, though. That is weird...

OK, I tried it in my deep cut housing, and they worked perfectly even on the lowest pressure. I did check every blade and the Roland were all shorter than the regular ones, but the same length as the deep cut blade. Oh, well, problem solved.

So do you now cut everything with the Roland blades in the deep housing? Or did you get them to work in the other. I need to replace blades soon (think mine came with a bad one) and would rather order lots than 2@9.99 if they will need replacing this often. I do alot of vinyl cutting so am wondering if that makes the blades dull sooner.

I've heard there were JoAnnes that wouldn't let you use coupons for any Cricut or Yudu item. However, check your coupon. The one's here say they are not good on any 'Cricut machine or cartridge'. That does NOT include accessories. I have no problem using my coupons here in DFW, in fact it was a store clerk that pointed out to me that I COULD use them on Cricut accessories.

Try pointing this out to the person at the counter and have them scan the coupon. If they STILL won't let you, complain to JoAnne management. I haven't paid full price for any Cricut item since I found out JoAnnes is the ONLY place that lets me use coupons - Michaels and Hobby Lobby coupons specifically prohibit ANY Cricut item.
