Also the folks doing the demo claimed that the blades lasted longer (??? - or so they claimed).
I may have to add this to my ever growing Wish list. :roll: Same thing with rotaries... use the blades, get rid of them when they stop cutting perfectly. Use EBay to get blades (genuine OLAF) cheap. I have dozens of them in a box waiting to be used. tim in san jose |
This thread is just in time for me. My rotary cutter BROKE yesterday while I was cutting! Actually the thingy that retracts the blade broke off. It's plastic and no way to fix it. I'm using it till I can get out to pick up another one, but it's kinda scary knowing I can't retract the blade. I'm definitely going to check out what's new on the market.

No I have two mats and I have been using the new one exclusively.

I use Fiskars. LOVE the grip. It seems more ergonomic.
Changing the blades is easy, too. A LOT of my cutting tools are Fiskars. |
