The Item in My Kit
I bought HEADLEY TOOLS 60mm Rotary Blades as part of my camper van equipment.
Measuring and cutting lining material was a separate stage of my storage-drawer project. These replacement blades belong to the rotary-cutting equipment I purchased alongside the wider cutting kit.
Stocking Spare Circular Blades Beside the Cutting Tools
- I measured the rubber mat to fit the drawer.
- I cut it with scissors before fitting the lining with adhesive and fasteners.
- My wider cutting purchases included sixty-millimeter rotary replacement blades.
Camper Van Project Applications
Replacement rotary blades restore the consumable edge of a cutter rather than changing the handle or cutting guide. Diameter is one identifying detail; the mounting arrangement also needs to match. Keeping replacements available supports the fast, fewer-pass carpet cutting Steven described in his cutter review.

Blade Changes And Instructions
I bought replacement rotary blades to keep making quick, full cuts as the original edge became dull. My Fiskars 60mm rotary-cutter review explains how I used that cutter on the carpet for the van walls and ceiling.
The blade-change mechanism belongs to the cutter. Fiskars provides the following instructions for its rotary-cutter hubs.
Fiskars organizes its blade-change instructions by hub design. Standard cutters have a screw-on thumb nut opposite the hub; EasyChange models use a flip-open magnetic hub, while DuoLoop has two blade hubs. The illustrated sheet covers the standard 28 mm, 45 mm and 60 mm cutters as well as separate EasyChange and DuoLoop procedures.

Product Details And Van-Build Uses
| Specification | Source Detail |
|---|---|
| Listed Pack | 10 replacement blades |
| Blade Diameter | 60 mm |
| Listing Material | SKS-7 steel |
| Storage | Plastic blade box |
The exact Amazon listing identifies these as sixty-millimeter replacement blades supplied in a plastic storage box. They replace the consumable cutting edge, rather than the cutter’s handle or guide. Keeping spares available matters when the point of the rotary cutter is making a clean cut with fewer passes through carpet or cloth. My review describes how the cutting edge dulls with use and why I wanted replacements ready. The existing blade-change instructions remain a separate Fiskars cutter reference; they are not presented as a HEADLEY operating manual.
My Experience With This Tool
By Steven Smith
The rotary blades become dull with a lot of use, so I recommend keeping replacement blades on hand. For me, the point of the rotary cutter is to make fast, sharp cuts all the way through the material, and a sharp blade makes that easier.
These blades are extremely sharp. I keep my hands and fingers out of the cutting path.

Hey, I’m Steve Smith with Camper Van Freedom. My rotary cutter made cutting the carpet for my van faster and straighter. Keeping that useful cutting edge ready is why I bought these HEADLEY Tools sixty-millimeter replacement blades.
The blade is the consumable part. These are spare circular blades, rather than a complete rotary cutter. My pack contains ten blades in a plastic storage box, so the product I’m reviewing is the replacement cutting edge.
With a lot of use, rotary blades become dull. For me, the point of the cutter is making fast, sharp cuts all the way through the material. A sharp blade makes that easier. I wanted replacements ready instead of continuing with a worn edge.
My Fiskars sixty-millimeter cutter is the separate tool in this setup. I used it on the Home Depot carpet for my van walls and ceiling. Before that, I used a knife or utility knife with a level as a straightedge. The rotary cutter gave me straighter cuts with fewer extra passes.
The cutter’s hub determines how its blade is changed. My full review links the illustrated Fiskars instructions so you can match the procedure to the hub on your cutter. The blade diameter and the mounting arrangement are separate details to check.
The review also shows Fiskars sixty-millimeter replacement blades and OLFA RB sixty blades as alternatives to compare. Those are separate options, alongside the HEADLEY pack I bought.
Thanks for watching. I’m Steve Smith with Camper Van Freedom. For my carpet-cutting kit, spare blades help keep the cutting edge ready. Read the full review for the product pictures, alternatives and blade-change reference. See you on the next project.
My Takeaway from This Job
The diary identifies scissors for that mat cut; these spare blades belong to the separate rotary-cutting kit. All three options keep a sixty-millimeter circular format, with the Fiskars pack adding a titanium-coated cutting surface.
