So this looks very interesting if a bit expensive...

An auto sharpening rotary cutter that is motorized. It says it will cut fabric up to an inch in depth...I wonder how this would do with strip piecing...http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/en...ign=newsletter
no reviews on the site but has any one bought this and if so how does it relate to quilting?

I had one of these several years ago I paid $125.00 for it and I loved it but at the time I was making denim purse out of really heavy denim and I could cut 8-10 layers of denim at a time. Since I retired from that, I use the Black and Decker electric cutter for cutting my fabric cost around 20 dollars and they work great. Harbor freight even has them on sale this month not the B&B brand and they are cordless. I gonna get me one of those.

Initial acquisition price is high for some of us but in the end I think it would pay for itself quickly in money saved on rotary blades. Not when compared to the tool-store blades but certainly if you buy from Jo-Ann, even at half-price. I

I have a friend that has a similar one that did a lot of production on puppets, jackets, hats, etc. so it was justified for them. I'm not sure that it would give the average quilter the exact cuts they are looking for. It would be interesting to play with for a while if someone wants to donate some fabric.
