Olfa RTY-2/G rotary cutter with a 45 mm blade

Love it, I bought it for my Mum as a birthday gift and she loves it. It has made her life easier and her fabric cutting more accurate. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is making corona virus masks or any fabric cutting in general as it makes the process so much easier and saves time too. Would highly recommend great price and a great product.

Excellent rotary cutter and much better than other models which claim to be suitable for both left- and right-handed users. For a left-handed person all you do is just turn it over so that the blade sits neatly up against the edge of the cutting ruler. There are no backing discs that move from side to side (and won't stay in place) and there is no need to struggle to see the alignment of the blade by contorting yourself over the cutter in order to see the cutting line. Like all the best inventions for left-handed people this is very very simple to use and gives excellent results everytime.

I bought this primarily because I'm getting into leathercraft and a round-headed knife is just an extortionate amount of money, so this seemed like the next best thing. I've tried this on a reasonable thickness leather and thin leather. Thin leather it slices like a dream, thicker leather it does, but there are very rare times where parts didn't cut all the way so it needs a second run over the line. As for accuracy, it was what I had most trouble with. I used a set square for my line and pull straight back with the cutter and I don't think I'm like Shakin' Stevens - perhaps it is my inexperience - but occasionally the straight line will stray, needing to slice off minute shavings that weren't taken off the first time. Maybe an expert would do a better job than I did but I muddled through it. I'd say a good leather cutting tool for a beginner on a budget.

I've never had a rotary cutter, and was really delighted at how this little beast cut through several layers of thin cotton to produce a stack of patches for my patchwork project. If I want to cut paper I will either buy another one or another blade, as experience tells me that paper cutting blunts blades for fabric. That is true for scissors so it is doubtless the same with rotary cutters. The thing I like most is that the blade is retractable. When I've cut what I need I retract the blade. That makes it safer to have around and to store in my workbox.

I’ve just started messing about with leather. This is just superb for cutting straight perfect lines.

This is my first rotary cutter and I'm not entirely happy with it. It took me a while to get used to it, you need to do it at the right angle. it seems to be sharp but when I try to add more then one piece of fabric it just doesn't do a good job :-(

Great product, as described... a cut above the rest (cheesy I know). Great for cutting out patterns for dress making without the need for scissors. Also, unlike scissors, works perfectly for both left and right handed people so very durable... and great for a husband looking to find gadgets for his wife not having to remember to look for lefty things...

Sturdy and cuts beautifully. Great Japanese craftsmanship which feels as though it will last. I had a fiskars rotary cutter previously which only lasted a few months. This cutter is built differently to the fiskars cutter I had, in that the blade stays stationary and a black plastic cover is the moving part which slides down with a simple thumb push to cover the blade.

Really bad I can’t cut fabrics

Estaba buscando un cúter para cortar papel que necesitara menos presión que uno de los clásicos, así que elegí este y estoy muy contenta. Corta muchísimo y es fácil de usar. - A favor: tiene un buen tamaño, la protección está en el armazón y es muy fácil de poner y quitar, usa cuchillas estándar y tiene un muy buen precio. - En contra (yo no lo pondría en contra, es más, le he dado cinco estrellas, pero lo pongo en modo recordatorio): si en los cúter tradicionales hay que usar regla para no torcerse, en este es todavía más necesario, tiende a salirse de la línea muy fácilmente. En resumen: es bueno, bonito y barato... Y corta que se las oela

A qualidade do produto já é conhecida pelas artesãs. Cortador durável, lâmina afiada e de fácil troca.

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.

J'ai découvert les produits Olfa lors d'un stage de couture et je ne m'en passe plus. Ce cutter rotatif est très maniable et coupe extrêmement bien, un passage suffit. Idéal pour découper de petites pièces ou des détails qui demandent de la précision. Les lames de rechange coûtent plus cher que des lames génériques 1er prix certes mais elles durent aussi vraiment beaucoup plus longtemps.
