Today I am going to the hardware store and look for a cutting knife that has replaceable blades. I know there are all kinds, one thing they have in common is they're sharp. I want to get one that uses inexpensive blades. I will post later and let everyone know what I find. :wink:
Take a utility knife to one of those rotary cutting pads and kiss the pad goodbye. They are meant for rotary cutters only.
Try the OLFA. I is an engineer and I don't usually buy junk. The OLFA is a nice tool. For most hands a 45mm is best. Don't get the straight one, get the one with a curved handle. Very comfortable, very accurate with a good rule.
JMHO.
