Replacing the blade depends on how often and what materials you're cutting. If you're just cutting paper and vinyl, you can go years without replacing it. If you're cutting something thicker or tougher like cork and cardboard, you're going to want to replace the blade more often. New blades are only $8-12 and super easy to change. You have to take the blade out of the cameo when you change the cutting depth anyway. You just turn a switch in the cameo, lift out the blade and either use the slot on the cameo or the extra plastic piece shown next to the blade in the picture to twist the base to the number you need.

Eventually yes, depends on how much cutting you do, but in time you'll need me ones, they are on amazon for purchase and yes easy to do yourself. YouTube.

Yes blade replacements are needed occasionally (more often if you are cutting thicker material). Blades are anywhere from 8-15 dollars depending on where you purchase, and if on sale or not. Simple replacement, diy.

Yes, definitely - the Fiskars website sells replacement blades for $7.99 each: http://www2.fiskars.com/content/search?SearchText=power+gear+lopper&x;=0&y;=0

If you were going to replace the blades, you might as well replace the whole thing - it is basically a ton of blades attached to a handle and some wheels, I would go with sharpening it with one of the kits they sell specifically for this kind of mower.

I have purchased replacement blades, it's not too difficult to find them, but be shocked by the price. I think I had to pay about $50, which was the cheapest price I could find.

You get 1 "E cut" blade (which is a "combo" metal/wood). That may be enough, but I suggest you invest in extra blades. You'll find once the blade is shot, you better have a replacement available.

You'd have to contact Derwent for absolute verification but, since it's fundamental design is so poor, I doubt a replaceable blade is available. Like so many products these days, the consumer is unable to replace elementary parts because it's far more profitable for a company to maneuver one into repurchasing the entire unit.

It also shows SKU S700F Spare blade for S700 $3.99, 3/$9.99 in the replacement parts list. Hopes this helps you.O ORDER REPLACEMENT PARTS, CALL 1-800-742-8334

I searched the web for replacement blades and realized how expensive they were. So, I chose to look on Ebay and find aftermarket ones there. The only thing about using them is they do not adapt to the thumb press release to change blades. You have to use a screw and tightly secure the blade in place. But, the replacements from Ebay are worth the extra "trouble" to use and just as good a blade as Porter Cable.

Not sure. I only know ours burned up after the third time my husband used it. No chance to NEED replacement blades.

I haven't used mine enough to warrant changing the blade. I really don't have an answer to your question. Sorry.

The blade comes with it. If you need to replace it look for blades for that model number.

I also don't know. I read once that the replacement blades are under a different maker, I just don't remember. Sorry

Not sure about replacement parts except for the rotary cutting blades, found them on the web but were costly, just decided to buy an entire new razor. Hope this helps.

Haven't bought a replacement blade, but i saw them on Amazon for about $8 That is not a bad price, or I should say it is the best price. When using that edger do not concrete with the blade or any other blade because it will wear very quickly. I let somebody use my old edger once and I could see him acroos the street hitting concrete edges and corners, my blade was dull after that.

If it breaks, you won't be needing a replacement.The same goes for the blade braking.....

Rikon and sears sell direct replacements. I make my own out of hardboard for each blade I use because I like to have zero clearance. Rough cut it on the bandsaw, double stick tape the original to the new one to use as a template and clean it up on a large disk or stationary belt sander. I leave the double stick tape on the new insert (bottom down) and use it in the saw. If you do this, drill some 3/16" holes to aid dust collection.

I believe they are available from Amazon. I've never replaced the blade myself.
