These run at very fast speeds. You would have to be very experienced to cut quilt blocks with an electric cutter.
They are great for stacking layers of fabric, about 6, and cutting around a heavy cardboard or plexiglas templates.
I have much experience with an electric cutter and would not be able to cut quilt blocks accurately.
There are many different electic rottory cutters out there some work and some don't. I can't tell you all the details at this time but I guarantee that mine is well thought out and is hand friendly for people with arthritis.
