Is it 508 generation 3?

My 508 says 3rd generation on the box

Where can I buy a replacement blade for this model?

Dahle sells replacement parts direct. A member of the Customer Relations Team would be happy to help you place your order by phone at 800-995-1379.

New vs Old. Is the new version better?

No. I’ve had a couple of the old design and love them. Smooth, and after yrs, seem to never dull— self sharpening also. The new design SQUEAKS horribly. After realizing that, I ordered another that was listed as the old design. I received a new model again. :( Also squeaks. Now I have no idea what to order. I’ve relied on Dahle for abt a decade. Hated Fiskars and the guillotine type (neither have had accurate 90° angles. What do I order now?? Bring back the old design, Dahle. Please?

Do you have free returns?

I would say yes, for the most part, as long as it's within 30 days. Richard.
