Description
xA 45mm rotary cutter with a safety lock, an ergonomic handle, and a spare titanium coated blade in the box. Set up for left or right handed use.
Left or right handed
The blade can be mounted on either side, so the cutter works both ways round without buying a separate model. Take the nut off, move the blade and washers to the other face, reassemble in the same order. Two minutes, and it does not affect the safety lock.
Specification
| Blade size | 45mm |
|---|---|
| Length | 165mm |
| Height | 55mm |
| Handle | Moulded grip with soft-touch back |
| Safety | Press-to-lock button; blade retracts when released |
| In the box | Cutter with blade fitted, plus 1 titanium coated spare |
| Blades it takes | Any standard 45mm rotary blade, including Olfa and Fiskars |
The safety lock
The blade only extends while you are pressing the button, and retracts when you let go. That is worth having if the cutter shares a table with children or pets, or if you tend to put it down mid-seam. It also means the blade is covered in a drawer.
Which of our cutters should I buy?
| Bundle | Spare blade included | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| This one | 1 titanium coated | Mixed fabrics, occasional heavier work |
| Cutter + steel spare | 1 SKS-7 steel | Quilting cotton, lightest cost |
| Cutter + 4 spares | 4 mixed | Regular quilters who would rather not reorder |
The cutter is identical in all three. The only difference is how many spare blades come with it and what they are made of.
Using it well
Always cut on a self-healing mat, always cut away from your body, and never cut sitting down: standing lets you put your weight over the blade and keep the cut straight. Square the fabric up before the first cut and the rest follows.
