I went to an put-of-the-way quilt shop yesterday yand saw the owners using this tool.
Does anyone on the board use this?

Interesting. I've never seen one before.

No, my preference for strip cutting subcutting squares are the TruCut rulers with their ergonomic rotary cutter.

I haven't seen a ruler like that before. Was she using it with her ovary cutter? I thinkI would be afraid of carving up the metal with the cutter and dulling my blade and chipping the ruler. I can really see it for squaring up a quilt though, excellent for that with being able to order a long length.

lol, 'ovary cutter' That made me smile!

Looks like a mat or poster cutting ruler like they would use in a sign shop. I really can't see from the picure, but the edges of these type rulers are usually set up for an exacto knife rather than a rotary cutter. If they are using it in the shop it must work with the rotaries. If you miss you ruin your cutting blade.

Looks like it is best for a knife blade craft cutter or tile or such. But any ruler with a guard is better then one without it. I never cut fabric without a guard of some sort for my ruler.

Auto correct strikes again...rotary became ovary

They were using a rotary cutter with it. They didn't let me try it out, so I don't know how it felt, compared with plastic rulers.

I want to try it out, but I wonder if the inability to see through it will bw a problem.

I haven't seen that model, but my DH has a similar tool for dry wall that I have cleaned up and used quite successfully.
