Frequently Asked Questions

What is SKS-7 steel and why does it matter for rotary blades?

SKS-7 is a Japanese high-carbon tool steel known for exceptional edge retention and hardness. Rotary blades made from SKS-7 stay sharper longer than standard steel blades, meaning fewer blade changes and cleaner cuts over time — especially important when cutting through multiple fabric layers repeatedly.

What is the advantage of a tungsten carbide rotary blade?

Tungsten carbide is significantly harder than steel and holds an edge far longer, making it ideal for heavy-duty or high-volume cutting. The Famore 400TC tungsten carbide blade is the top-of-the-line option for professional sewists and quilters who want maximum blade life.

How do I safely change a rotary blade?

Always close or lock your rotary handle before changing blades. Unscrew the nut, carefully remove the old blade, slide on the replacement, and reassemble. Never touch the blade edge with bare fingers — use the blade packaging as a shield during installation.
