Re: [Histonet] Reichert Jung Frigocut 2700 and disposable blades

From:"Cheryl Rehfeld - Meyer Instruments, Inc"


The Leica Knife Holder CE for disposable blades fits the Reichert Jung
Frigocut. The knife base CN, CE, or CS, part number 14041918647, has a flat
bottom so you won't have to mill off the bottom like Rita van Bendegem.
This is an older part number but it is still available.  I have put these
parts on some of my customers Frigocut 2800 and they work great.
