- The Rotary Circle Cutter includes both a pivot point cover and a blade cover for safety. The point cover stores on the nose of the cutter, just above the blade, when it's not protecting the point. The blade cover is a self-storing sliding cover like the one on many of Olfa's rotary cutters.
- Ratchet handle reduces stress on your wrist and makes it so easy to get a perfect circle or curve every time without the use of a stabilizer!
- First, set the distance between the blade and the pivot to exactly half the size of the circle you want. Then position the pivot point on the fabric where I want the center of your circle to be, being sure to not put it too close to any edge of the fabric.
- Hold the ratchet handle with your dominant hand to make it easier to control the pressure you put on both the pivot point and the cutting blade. Use the back end of the yellow bar that connects the pieces of the cutter together to steer the cutting edge around the pivot point with your other hand.
- Apply gentle, even pressure all the way around the circle for best results. The motion that you are looking for here is as if you were stirring a pot of soup, a nice easy and gentle circular movement.
- Because you can slide the handle to any position between the blade and the pivot point, you can cut firmly and confidently.
