"TOOL TIME TUESDAY" Rotary Cutting Machine

Hello!

Today's tool is brought to you by Simplicity.

It's the versatile Rotary Cutting Machine!

There are different models but this one below is the basic model.



CLICK HERE to view a video by the great folks of SIMPLICITY to see how it works.

It cuts strips of fabric or paper from 3/8" to 2 3/4". An adjustable guide bar can be moved to determine the cut width. Cutting is accomplished by the pressure between the blade and the roller underneath. The machine comes with a polarized plug/foot pedal combination. A flat head screw driver and a phillips head screw driver are required to replace blades and tighten pressure for cutting.

* Easy to use
* Foot pedal included

* Cuts straight and pinked edges
* Adjustable guide for cutting strips 1/2" - 2-1/2" wide
* Includes 2 blades for fabric and paper cutting
* Blades are removable


I thought it was important to note that you could use this to cut PAPER too!
That makes this of great use to paper crafters as well as quilters & sewers.
I noticed that Wal-mart carried it online for $69.99 for the model shown above. I am sure you could find varied prices at other online retailers.

Now if they could only come out with an automated or digital paper trimmer...

Have a good day!
