I bought a couple of really cheap blades off ebay and they arrived the other day. You probably saw them if you ever looked for a blade on ebay. They were the 250mm (almost 10") with a 25mm (almost 1") hole in the center selling for $7 from China. In there ad it showed this video of what is supposed to be there blades in use. Anyhow the good news is I tried one out and I have to say I have never seen an agate cut so quickly. Went through a 3" agate in less than a minute and that was with me holding the weight up most of the time because it was cutting too fast but I couldn't take out water it was a big ice cube. The cut was a little rough but that was probably mostly because of too much weight. Not sure how long the blade will last but I have to say I was impressed. The bad news is I went back on Ebay to give them a good review and everything showing I had even bought a blade was gone!! I tried doing a search for the seller and found them but they had gone from hundreds of items to none!! So I got hold of Ebay and they said the seller had violated a rule and was kicked off ebay. They said they delete everything about the seller if they get booted off. Would have been nice if ebay would have sent me a message though, didn't know what happened till I called. So no more blades from them I guess. So to sum it up I found some good and cheap blades, but no one can get them anymore.

Did you use paypal? The seller should have a contact email. No email or address on the packing slip?

Thats actually one of the kind of wierd parts to this. They sent me a order update which even has a link to their web site. www.R2hobbies.comBut if you check it out there is nothing but model parts no blades to be found. They even gave me a order number that if I put it in that web page shows my blades but if I do a search for the item it finds nothing. The 250mm item # is tlbl12525 and the 200mm item # is tlbl12025. I have not tried contacting them to ask about more blades because I just got some. I was planning on keeping that web site for next time though. I figured if I waited a while they would be back on ebay under a different name anyhow.
