which size rotary cutter
#33
I love my 60mm rotary cutter since I bought it a number of years ago. I've just used it but recently bought the Wave I think it's called. it's the one that's easy to change the blade. I've been using it lately and I like it but still wouldn't trade my 60mm. Wondering if they might come out with a 60mm that is easy to change the blade? hummmmm

I use a 45 and own a 28 I seldom have a need for. I have found that for me, the blade size matters less than the type of handle. I bought an ergonomic handle for my 45 mm and I have never looked back. It eliminated the pains I got from the straight handle and I love how the blade cover automatically closes when you release pressure on the handle. If you have never used one, check it out.

Yup, the second complaint I have is the same as you. I keep grabbing for the cutter too close to the blade because I'm used to it retracting automatically. I have little nicks all over my right hand. I'll learn eventually. It's getting better, I only have 2 open cuts this week....

I tend to use the 45 mm. rotary cutter the most, but I use the 60 mm when I am cutting thicker fabric or more layers as it does a better job, but it all depends on your preference and what is comfortable to you..

I have a 45 MM which is mostly what I use. I would like a 28 MM which I think would be better for curves. I have a smaller one, I think is 18MM that I almost never use. I bought it to use on curves but the blade is so small it won't clear the ruler, so not much good.
