P.S. It seems the video had some weird color balance problems so you may see the colors change around a bit. Sorry if that causes some annoyance. We will work on fixing this in future videos.

Do you recommend a certain bran of blade?  Do the economy blades work just as good as the expensive ones?

[nancylthamilton]

@gmrgrl2600 Hi gmrgrl, well, honestly the cheap ones from India are not that great. They aren't made with the best steel, tend to break easily and they wear out quicker. You can get a pack of 144 for like 5.00 but, I bet if you had 12 good quality ones you'd never use the cheapies! I like the laser gold blades from Rio Grande Jewelry. They break less often and have even uniform teeth. They are 4.75 for 12. The laser German and Swiss blades are excellent also. Blades can make you happy or mad. N
