Do you have to use a different blade for each thing you do?

Only if you are cutting fabric. You can use the same blade over and over, the only thing you change is the thickness of the cut for different materials. If you cut fabric and paper you need a different blade for each.

There are no adjustments, just different blades. This is not as flexible, but whether or not it suffices is up to you. Personally, I go crazy with two many choices: thin, thick, and in between are enough for me.

No. There are dozens of different kinds of blades.You must match the mower model to the replacement blade model.

You can change the blades out with other blade types. There are specific blades design for certain materials. There are blades designed for metal that you can use with any circular saw including this one.

You need to get the jet multi speed kit to slow down the cutting rate for metal. You can certainly equip with the blade but at full speed it may ruin the blade or the piece you're cutting.

I've never tried it, but, I don't believe you can. There are two different blades, one on each side of the slicer, but, you only use one side at a time.

You need 30 blades for these. It makes a much better cut. I've used 10 and 40 blades and they aren't as good as a 30.

They sell the blades as a kit which means you have to buy all 3 blades at once. This could be a nuisance if you use one set of blades much more than the others. Only the top blade in the snips is replaceable, but you can hand file, or stone, the bottom blade easily. For that matter, you can hand sharpen the top blade.

I don't think so. I had some problems with my blades as well, over time. I use a heavy card stock and was attempting to cut 2-3 pages at a time. Over time, this stopped working. Because I didn't want to replace the machine, I started just cutting one page at a time. It is, obviously, more time consuming and a pain, but it works better than ever. I did not know the machine was self sharpening, but maybe it is. It seems to have improved by not overburdening the blades.

You need a 3 blade. This photo isn't the right one. Call Amazon. The 3 blade are also larger. And hey I love mine.

No, you have to have the right razor to go with the right blades. I ordered the blades for the wrong razor then had to buy a tech 4!

The abrasive blade will sacrifice ( use up ) itself and will cut anything. It is the expensive ($24 ) consumable part of the system.I save the tool for cuts in applications where no other tool will fit.

yes. one blade which works for general purposes. I cut through a 4x6 with the blade that came in the box.

it works fine for me, but i guess after some uses, you need to change the blade( change to the other side or change the blade).

You can use this blade in place of the other. I had to replace my 4 blade so I use this for everything. The extra blades help draw everything into the center and chops ice much faster. There is no need for both and if your happy with your current 4 blade the only difference would be speed.

It's not "needed" but it is convenient, you can get better results from it once you get the hang of it, and sometimes he gotta set blade couple times, I like it better than manually setting blades myself, but could you live without it sure, if you have an extra $25 grab it, it comes in handy, especially when in a hurry.

No. I believe that is done for gentlemen for gentlemen to know how to gauge dullness.i use one side for one week then the other side for the next. By week three it's time for a new blade.
