terrypen Report post Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) If anyone is interested in buying rotary cutters, JoAnn's fabric and craft stores is having a huge sale. A lot of stuff is 50% off and some stuff you need a 50% off coupon (you can get those by signing up on their website.) I bought one of the cheaper brands today, I will let you know how it goes with leather. I did cut some thin paper like it wasn't even there... I thought maybe I wasn't doing it correctly and then realized it was already cut. It was a package deal... Cutter, mat(12"x18"..no metric), and ruler Listed for $49.99 but was 50% off Thought I would let everyone know just in case you are interested in those.

terrypen Report post Posted April 13, 2015 I did some test/Armitage wallet cuts on some 1-1/2 to 2oz lining leather like cutting butter. Then I cut some 4-5oz Herman Oak and it also cut really smooth and was able to cut straighter than ever. So now I have a whole bunch of Nigel's 70cm x 100cm wallet pieces.... guess I need to make some wallets now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonydaze Report post Posted June 28, 2016 We use 60mm rotary cutters for probably 90% of our leather cutting. Great for straight lines and okay for mild curves. For square corners we roll close then finish the corner with an utility knife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billybopp Report post Posted June 28, 2016 I have a few rotary cutters that I use. They work quite well for thin garment leather and stretchy leather such as deer/elk. They are not so useful for harder veg-tan for me. I do however LOVE having a rotary "paper cutter" that is fantastic for anything up to about 6oz and is the cat's a$$ for squaring up smallish pieces!

JimBonita Report post Posted July 13, 2016 I.ve been using the Fiskars ProCision cutter. The cutter is mount on a pair of rails mounted on a ruled board. I'm working with some thin leather remnants and can turn a bunch of ink blot shaped pieces into wallet panels quicker than I can find a dropped needle.
