Need cutter blades for a Hobby Lock 796, where are they available?

If your Juki HZL F600 thread cutter is clicking at the end of the cut, there could be a few potential issues to look into. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

1. Dull or damaged blade: Over time, the thread cutter blade can become dull or damaged, which can cause it to click or miss threads. Try replacing the blade with a new one to see if this resolves the issue.
2. Incorrect positioning: If the thread cutter is not in the correct position, it may click or miss threads. Make sure the thread cutter is properly positioned and aligned with the needle plate.
3. Tension issues: If the thread tension is too tight or too loose, it can cause the thread cutter to click or miss threads. Check the tension settings and adjust them as necessary.
4. Buildup of lint or debris: If there is a buildup of lint or debris around the thread cutter blade or mechanism, it can interfere with its operation and cause it to click. Clean the area around the thread cutter with a soft brush or cloth to remove any buildup.

If none of these solutions resolve the issue, it may be best to contact Juki customer support or take your machine to a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair.

Could be the timing is off. Perhaps service will take care of it.

Cutter blade needs replacement. Sensor is likely fine and is not located in the bobbin case area.
Sensor is telling you there is a cutter error. More than likely need a new cutter. Easy enough.

This was the best video I could find on the machine, I don't know anything about sewing machines but this might just help you.

when you release the blade, sometimes you have to reengage it manually, turn it to unlock, machine off (safety only) push up on bottom of upper blade until it stops. turn hand wheel and watch if blade is moving. If not repeat. When it moves your good to go.

I also have a babylock eclipse BLE1DX serger & here's how my book says to do it

to replace the upper cutting blade
1.open the front panel
2.remove the screw holding the upper blade
remove the upper blade
3.position the new blade in the blade slot, replace the screw.as you tighten the screw, hold the blade up in it's highest position
4.close blade cover. close front cover

hope this helps you
good luck

Here's a link to the Google froogle search results, they are a little pricey though... You might find a cheaper one in your area by calling around and asking for a used one.

I don't think I have a picture but let me see if I can describe it to you.

The metal cutter has a black plastic piece. The blade fits in the black plastic with the longest point on top. The black plastic piece slides back onto the metal cutter, riding on the ridge. Fit the metal cutter back on the unit, being sure to align the "stubs" in the holes of the black pieces attached to the cog wheel. Make sure the "stub" of the black plastic piece with the blade fits in the parallel groove so that only the metal piece moves out and brings the thread to the blade when the cutter is activiated.

If you are still unable to fix, make a comment back and I'll go take pictures of my machine's cutter system.

Good luck.

is there lint or thread caught between blades preventing them from meeting?

There are 2 blades, a fixed cutter and a moving cutter. The moving cutter should move approx 1/8" at it's lowest point past the fixed cutter. There should also be some pressure between the cutters
