Freebie Friday: OLFA rotary cutters!

Jun 10, 2011 by stefanie berganini

It's time again for the next installment of Freebie Friday! This week we're giving away two rotary cutters from OLFA, an 18mm circle rotary cutter and a 45mm quick-change rotary cutter.

OLFA Quick-Change Rotary Cutter

OLFA Circle Rotary Cutter

 .
Quick-Change Rotary Cutter

The Quick-Change Rotary Cutter features an easy blade change with just a single click. No more assembly with a washer and a nut. Just slide the locking mechanism and the blade immediately releases. The innovative split blade cover allows for switching hands effortlessly without reassembly and offers extra safety protection while cutting. Each side slides back and forth independently so the user can easily switch hands to cut. The blade is made of high quality tungsten carbide tool steel for unparalleled sharpness and superior edge retention. Designed for both right-and left-handed use.

Circle Rotary Cutter

The patented ratchet mechanism of the rotary circle cutter easily and efficiently cuts clean, perfect circles from 1 7/8" to 8 1/2" every time. Designed for both right and left-handed use and reduces wrist fatigue connected with 'yo-yos', Cathedral Windows, Drunkard's Path, etc. Includes a built-in blade cover for safety, and a plastic guard to cover the pivot spike when not in use. Uses RB18 (standard) replacement blades.

Leave a comment below to be entered to win. We'll choose a random winner from the comments early next week.

Happy Friday! :)

The Circle cutter looks especially interesting. I wonder if you can stack and cut or if it works best just one circle at a time.

The rotary cutter is a God-send for people like me who are beginning to experience arthritis of the fingers and hands.  And the fact that you can switch between hands and rest one is a blessing.  Needlesstosay, it could not get better than a circle rotary cutter for all of my crafts projects for my wonderful grandchildren.

Just started getting "Stitch" magazine recently - and do so wish I had more time.  So many great projects to try and so little time.  Love the quick-change feature and circles too! Wow.

Oh I hope I'm not too late. I LOVE the Quick Change Rotary Cutter.  Yes, I have ONE, but I have two places where I use them so I'm constantly "losing" this great tool. I'm a handweaver who is patiently trying to learn to sew with my own cloth.

Later this summer, after a visit with my precious grandson, I plan to take sewing classes. I have wanted to sew all my life, and I do believe the time has come.
