Review: Works great! - I was a bit leery after reading some of the reviews for this cutter, but had not found anything that sounded any better, and I trust this brand. Not a lot of instructions, but not a lot of moving parts, so "setup" was not hard. And it cut a perfect circle on the second attempt. Love the ratchet handle. The paper did bunch on my first attempt, but I taped the paper to the cutting mat second time, and that solved the bunching problem. I've cut a lot of circles since yesterday, and, like any other rotary cutting blade, this one is beginning to dull. Replacements won't be here until tomorrow - that would be my only suggestion here -- charge another dollar or two, but include a couple replacement blades. I did cut circles from very small to almost 8" (the max cut) without any problem, using both standard copy paper and a medium weight cardstock. Heavier paper requires more pressure, but it works. Tried it on a scrap of some cotton quilting fabric, and the result is a 9 out of 10, but with a fresh blade it should work just fine. This is a good product that does what it is supposed to!
Review: Perfect results in a fraction of the time! - This is a great time saving, end result perfecting product. I am a quilter and I have had numerous projects where I need to cut out circles. This cuts out all the tracing and cutting steps out and with a tiny bit a practice gives you perfect circles in seconds with little or no stress on your hands. In the past I have had to trace patterns then cut, or make a pattern and use a rotary cutter to try and cut it out. This saves time and the end result is much better. It is a simple enough concept but it works. I would have liked some simple instructions to come with it but it was easy enough to figure out. I do know some people who would struggle though. Make sure you have a cutting mat. I also took a piece of cardboard w/felt glued on and with a circle cut out to put over the fabric to keep it stable (it was a fair bit bigger than the cut out) . It improved my result because with very little pressure the fabric didn't shift. It is great when you can find a product that gives you exact results with little effort. This is one of those products.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Steep learning curve, but worth it.
*by S***E on May 3, 2025*

I bought this cutter as the reviews were fairly good. I had 150, 4-inch circles to cut and I wanted them perfect. Eventually they were. Be aware there is a rather steep learning curve. So practice before you actually use it on your project. One problem I had was when I adjusted the size with the set screw, it would loosen up giving me various sized circles. Finger tightening was not enough! I had to use pliers to tighten it and then I had no problem getting uniform circles. The fabric circles were cut with fusible paper-backed adhesive webbing (Heat & Bond) attached. My first ones were horrible and I almost gave up. But they got better and better and in the end I got the perfect circles I wanted. Cutting paper was easy. Be sure to check out online videos of how to use the cutter. It helps.
