OLFA Rotary Cutter RTY-2/G

Love this very Sharp and easy to use Blade guard is a necessity easily covers blade

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.

Worth it!!!

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.

Glides around chopping everything in its path! I absolutely love using this to cut leather. I purchased the 45mm after having gotten the 28mm and it is much better. I've attached photos to show the cutting depth approximately (in mm).I also played around with it on regular paper, very nice. I used it to cut some sandpaper, and really a lot of things. I even used it to cut the tag off a shirt and got a really good form since I would roll it exactly where I needed! I'm finding it hard to use anything else at this point. Why use scissors when I can just trace around whatever I want? For rough work it is very quick and accurate enough.Truly a versatile little tool. If you're going to be cutting anything over about 4-5mm I would definitely look at getting the 45mm one instead. Otherwise the smaller 28mm should suit you.

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.

I like this brand. I like how this model feel when cutting
