Rotary Cutter RTY-2/G

Olfa makes the best rotary cutter, what more can I say? I've tried others and they come unscrewed or the blades don't fit quite right. no problem with this brand. fast shipping.

I’d never used a rotary cutter before, but thought I’d give it a try while making face masks. It took several cuts to figure out the best way to angle the tool and how much pressure to apply, but once I did, the results were fantastic. So far I’ve cut about 100 pieces of quilters cotton, mostly 2 pieces at a time, and the blade remains sharp. I cut a few 4 pieces at a time, but the cuts weren’t as clean. The precision of the cuts make sewing the pieces of masks together soooooo much easier than scissor cut fabric. A few notes for newbies like me: the blade is sharp - I cut my finger early on, and you must have some sort of cutting pad/board under the fabric. I use a thick plastic Elfa shelf liner, which is super inexpensive, protects your table, and can be spun to make cutting even more efficient.

I recently joined a group that makes reusable sanitary production for girls in third word countries. One of my jobs is cutting double layer flannel which will then be turned into the pads. This product works perfectly for that purpose and allows me to make sharp, clean cuts.

This rotary cutter is the best versatile design and my go to for rotary cutting fabric. The standard size 45mm blade is very sharp and cuts through many layers. It is easy and safe to use with the blade lock functioning easily, by just a push or pull with the thumb while your hand is still in place on the handle. The handle seems the perfect size, long enough for larger hands, is comfortable and feels secure to hold. It can be used right or left handed. It is great for cutting on either side of the cutter, against an acrylic rotary cutting ruler, as the neither side interferes with the ruler and there is enough clearance when cutting, unlike other comfort handle types of rotary cutters which can't perform with this versatility.

I don't know maybe I have gotten a dud or something but I was very excited to have this since I have been using the ones from the Dollar Tree and they only last maybe a week at the most. But this was something I thought would be great. We'll it worked fine the first couple of mins I was using it. But then I noticed that I was struggling to cut something as simple a ribbon and deco mesh. It wouldn't cut all the way through or half way through. I know I am using it correctly. And I am only using one piece of ribbon at a time. Even though it claims it can go through 8 layers of material. But it is not giving me much hope if it can't even cut through one single layer of ribbon from the Dollar Tree. Like I said maybe I got a dud or something because this is not working the way that it should or how it even claims to work. I mean it wasn't that expensive but I figured it would work better then one from DT. I'm gonna keep using it maybe it is a fluke but if it doesn't work right I'm gonna have to return it for something that I know will cut at least ribbon.

Love this thing - it's my favorite new toy in my sewing/craft room! Perfect size, sharp blade and comes in handy for many items that need to be cut including cardboard, fabric, tape, etc. Love it!

It cuts material really well, and the price was right. I cut material to make quilted Ornaments and this item makes it so much easier than using scissors.

It’s Olfa! Wife uses this for cutting patterns. Super sharp, works great. She loves it.

É Olfa. Perfeito.

Really bad I can’t cut fabrics

He usado este cortador principalmente con tela y es maravilloso, también he cortado papel y láminas delgadas de plástico con éxito. A veces el control es difícil, a diferencia de un cutter, pero con una guía como una regla o escuadra es bastante preciso.

I hadn’t used one of these before. I bought it to cut vinyl for my cricut projects. I found it very easy to maintain a relatively straight cut, but at the same time, you can also curve around to remove excess material from more intricate designs before weeding. It’s the knife equivalent of a jigsaw. Very handy. My new favourite cutting tool. Recommend using it with a cutting mat.

.....billig gekauft ist zweimal gekauft........ ich hatte zuvor einen anderen Rollschneider der 3 Euro günstiger war- dieser war total stumpf. Das Messer schnitt nichtmal durch eine Lage normalen Stoffes, es setzte immer aus. Als ich etwas mehr Druck verwendete, gab es einen tiefen Schnitt in der Matte, gefüllt mit Flusen des Stoffes. Ein Glück, dasss ich keine Kurve probierte (man kann Bilder bei den Matten sehen, wo sogar die Oberfläche der Matte teils regelrecht abgeschält wurde). Ursache für derartige Schäden sind meines erachtens immer schlechte Messer, die mit viel Druck verwendet wurden! Dieser Rollschneider ging jedenfalls sofort zurück an den Absender. Nach langem hin- und her habe ich mich für den Olfa entschieden, nachdem ich einige sehr informative Videos bei Youtube angesehen hatte- und siehe da, er macht das, was ich in den Videos gesehen hatte, nämlich ordentlich schneiden. Auch durch mehrere Lagen. Zuletzt probierte ich 4 Lagen des Stoffes, wo mit dem billigen Schneider nicht einmal eine Lage zu schneiden war- und Olfa rollte wie durch Butter! Ich muss jetzt nur noch etwas die Kurven üben, das wird sich einspielen, da bin ich mir sicher. Flusen aus Schnitten in der Matte entfernt man übrigens leicht mit einem Schmutzradierer oder einem Microfasertuch. ;-) Die Matte niemals einrollen, Wärme aussetzen (Bügeleisen) oder knicken. Da ich wenig Platz habe, habe ich mir eine Matte im A2 Format mit cm Angaben besorgt, die man einmal faltet. Ein klasse Teil, eine zweite wird folgen, um große Stücke zuschneiden zu können. (Dies nur als Tipp, da ich als Anfängerin mit diesen Werkzeugen lange suchte)- Papier oder Pappe würde ich niemals mit dem Messer für Stoffe schneiden wie manche sagen. Dafür würde ich mir extra Messer besorgen und diese entsrpechend kennzeichnen. Man schneidet mit derSchneiderschere auch keine Papiere oder Pappe!
