Rotary cutter question
#1
I have bought 2 different ones and although they cut ok with one layer, if I try to cut multiple layers, I have to go over the cutting line over and over, sometimes pushing so hard I about get calluses. Am I buying the wrong kind of rotary cutters? Also, are they supposed to spin as you cut? mine do, and when I tighten the wheel, it works its way loose again... sigh* not even sure i'm doing it right. Please help. :cry:

Hi diogirl. Yes the blade is supposed to spin. Did you replace the blade? If so, are you sure you put it back together right? Or did you somehow get more than one blade on there? (ask me how I know about those things) LOL :lol: :lol: What kind of rotary cutter did you buy? What size? Hopefully we can help you out.

Make sure you only have 1 blade in there. If you buy blades in multiples, sometimes 2 blades will stick together....been there, done that.
Also, try changing blades, you just might have a bad one in there....happens sometimes.
