ccoyle Posted April 10, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 10, 2014 Anyone have experience with these, good or bad? It's time for me to order more blades, and I wonder if the new 'wonder blades' are worth the extra moolah (about 31 cents per blade versus 17 cents for plain ol' blades).

mtaylor Posted April 11, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 11, 2014 Chris, I've only heard about them.. both good and bad. I've not used them. I was thinking when my stock drops to order some just to test.

BANYAN Posted April 15, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 15, 2014 Have not heard of them prior to this; is tick to the known quality of Swann Moreton which if bought in bulk and the unsterilised version, are reasonably cheap now.

augie Posted April 15, 2014 Share #4 Posted April 15, 2014 I think we'd all like to hear of how this coating performs. I've heard of it's use on drill bits. Let us know if the blades are gold in color. This is worth a review!!

ccoyle Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted April 15, 2014 Augie, I ordered the regular blades in bulk, but added a few of the ZrN blades to try out as well. I'll report back later.

augie Posted April 15, 2014 Share #6 Posted April 15, 2014 That's great Chris. I'm sure there will be a lot of interest. I'll be looking forward to your evaluation as a real modeler.
