We've just about worn out the favorite rotary cutter here. Imagine that.
It is a Fiskars that covers the blade edge when it is put down. That's a
great safety feature, particularly if you have a QI that is closely involved
in the cutting process.
I don't know how old it might be or how many thousand miles might be on
it. So. Is there something new, wonderful, kind to old hands and safe that
I'll want to try? Polly

Polly,
I have a Fons & Porter that I like. It covers the blade automatically
and also has a switch for "hard & soft". More or less layers.

Oh, I like the idea of that 'hard and soft' switch. What a clever idea.
Can you let us know how it works when you have road-tested it? I don't
mind 'buying before I really have to' if the idea is good like this.

Patti,
I have had the F & P rotary cutter for several years. Still like it.
It is smart to have one without the blade exposed all the time.
Especially in a classroom setting or work setting with others close
by. Have had no complaints with the stability or long live. The
blade seem to get dull as often as others though :-). You can find
them at TSWLTH and sometimes at a discount. The brand is one that is
usually excluded from the coupon use.

I have a Dritz rotary cutter.
I don't generally think of Dritz first when I am looking for quality
tools, but this cutter has outlived all of it's predecessors, by a
lot. This is the same cutter I had when Wendy was looking for a
spring loaded one.
The blade is spring loaded so I don't have to remember to close it,
and it has hard and soft settings.
This is the successor to Fiskers and Olfa cutters that died the death
within a year or so of purchase. The last Fiskers cutter I had sliced
into my left hand when it died. The cutting head just sort of
exploded into shards while I was using it and the blade spanged right
into my hand.
NightMist
has no luck with Fiskers tools at all
