Members dikman Posted 23 hours ago Members Report Posted 23 hours ago I saw this little thingy at Aldi and for $15 just had to buy one. Rechargeable rotary cutter, says it can cut up to 1/4". I tried it on a piece of old saddle skirt, 1/4" thick and quite hard, and it cut it nicely. The blade is interesting as rather than being round it is octagonal so has sharpened "points". Could be useful for softer leathers. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members MarshalWill Posted 6 hours ago Members Report Posted 6 hours ago It looks like it would work great on straight cuts. Curves might be a different story but I can see the use for such a cutter Quote
Members dikman Posted 1 hour ago Author Members Report Posted 1 hour ago Yep, tight curves in particular would be a problem. Doesn't matter though, I just had to buy it when I saw it!

Members MarshalWill Posted 40 minutes ago Members Report Posted 40 minutes ago LOL, so true. Sometimes a straight run is harder than a curved one. Quote
