Flojet 01890001C Cutter Replacement Blades, 6-Pack
The Flojet 01890001C is a genuine pack of six replacement blades for the Flojet tube cutter. They restore the tool to a clean shearing cut rather than requiring the whole cutter to be replaced when the edge dulls.
Knowing when to change the blade is the useful part. A cutter does not announce that it has gone blunt; it degrades gradually, and the first sign is usually not the tool at all but the joints. A dull blade stops shearing and starts pushing, so it squashes the tube slightly ahead of the cut and leaves a raised edge or a ragged lip. That edge then drags across the O-ring as the tube is inserted, and the result is a push-fit joint that seals on the bench and weeps a fortnight later under vibration.
Because the symptom shows up somewhere else entirely, the habit worth forming is simply to inspect the cut rather than the blade. If the end is not clean, square and free of any raised lip, change the blade before making the joint. At six to a pack there is no reason to persevere with a tired edge, and a new blade takes a moment to fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should the blade be changed?
By results rather than by schedule. Inspect the cut end; the moment it is not clean and square, change the blade. Frequency depends entirely on how much tube the tool has cut.
Q: Can a blade be sharpened instead?
It is not worth attempting. The geometry of the shearing edge matters, and hand sharpening almost always changes the angle enough to make the cut worse rather than better.
Q: Is it safe to store blades loose in a toolbox?
Keep them in their packaging until needed. Loose blades dull against other tools and are an obvious hazard when reaching into a box.
Q: Does a new blade need any setting up?
Fit it squarely and check it closes cleanly against the anvil before the first cut. A blade seated slightly askew will cut at an angle no matter how sharp it is.
