Ok, so I bought one as Sutherlands, an off brand, but better than HF
quality, Genesis brand. I replaced 1 window and the blade shattered.
I went to the Borg and they said I need to buy the brand-specific
blade. Aren't they interchangable?

That is odd. I bought some blades from my HF tool at Sutherlands. I
believe there are some tools that use different blades, but I was
under the impression that most of them use the same blades. Basically
look at it and make sure that the blades have the circle of holes
around the mounting hole. They should work just fine.


I see nothing on my HF tool that uses the small holes.


On mine there are some small nubs sticking out of the hub on
the tool. They are what hold the blade in place, so it doesn't
rotate while you are using it.
