I use my 45mm olfa and gingher with no problems, you should be able to use yours, you do have to start in the wider slot opening at the bottom of each line
|
I use a 60mm Olfa rotary cutter. It is at the right angle to put the maximum amount of blade thru the slots. It gives me the best results
|
I use Fiskars and Olfa and don't have problems cutting with them with my June Tailors...
|
I always use my 45 rotary cutter and have not had a problem. The issue is to make sure that your blade is inserted in the beginning slot and then follow the slit closely. Go slowly until you get used to it. One important thing is not to cut while sitting down.

I use my Olfa 45 but it took a bit of doing to get it to work. you have to be vary careful to hold the cutter straight. I learned that I could NOT use my either-hand Fiskars 45 rotary cutter because it bumped into the slot, which caused some ugly cuts in the teardrop part of one of the slots.
I love my shape-cut - I have the big one which will do 24" long pieces. Love it! |

I'm a Fiskars girl and use either my 45mm or 60mm - whichever is nearest, with no problem. That said, I have nicked the plastic a couple of time when I haven't been paying attention.

I have a 19mm rotary cutter, works great on templates like that.

If you will notice, most rotary cutters have a ribbed area above the blade. Put your index finger there and you will find you have more control over the cutter--and of course, always start in the slot.

don't like it, but a smaller blade helps
