OLFA Rotary Cutter RTY-2/G

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

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!

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.

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 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.

Great sewing accessory — has revolutionized the way I sew. Get one, or better yet, get two.

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.

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