Trying to find a new holder and blade for a machine, suppliers want £60 to ship from from overseas. It's for a Skycut machine.
I'm pretty sure this is a standard holder used across many machines, Roland, GCC, Siser for example. Comparable costs on eBay are £12 for 15 blades and 1 holder!
If anyone uses exact same please let me know. TIA.

I think most of the popular blades are 0.94mm shank diameter. Have you an old blade you can measure?

I found them in China but was hoping to get something a bit quicker.

Have you tried a smart knife?
edward Mathias might supply the right one for this and cheaper than holder and seperate blades.

Just looking for a cheap option to test the machine is working perfectly, I've used their knives before and whilst they are excellent they are quite expensive. I can get one from China, just wanted to get on with it.

Ah ok.
I could send you mine if you send it back when your finished if you are just testing it out?
I have a holder for a Roland, graphtec and a us cutter machine if any of those are the right size?
I have smart knives in all My machines so it wouldn’t be an issue.
