Thread: June Tailor Shape Cut

I don't think there is a "best" one. I just use my Olfa. I have cut the plastic more than once. I will be watching to see what others use.

I love my Shape Cut -- it really helps get things "squared up." I notice that when I use it a lot (with my 45mm rotary cutter) I do have to change the blade more frequently. Also, it really helps to guide your rotary cutter in the slots if you hold the rotary blade at closer to a 90degree angle. Trying to roll through the slots with the handle more horizontal (almost parallel to the mat) puts the blade in contact with the plastic more than holding it almost straight up. This has been my experience but I'm interested in what others have found.

I agree, if I don't start it at the slot I have trouble but I have used the 45mm and also the smaller rotary cutter with this system and quite well. This works great for stash busting!

I have a blue Dritz that I love for everything else but it doesn't work with the Shape Cut. I use my Olfa 45mm.

there is a smaller rotary cutter. I would think that one best.

I love my Shape Cut and use my 45mm Olfa cutter with no problems.
