The guard activates when the pressure on the cutter is reduced, and you can even set the depth of cutter blade. It has three settings - light fabrics, lock and heavy fabrics.
Happy Scissoring,
Would you tell me the name of the cutter you are talking about? Thanks

So very sorry to hear about your accident! :shock: :cry: I have not -- yet -- cut my finger with a rotary cutter, and I certainly hope I never do!!! :thumbdown:
Now the question I MUST ask is: did you bleed on the fabric??!! :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: I used to tease my students whenever they would cry, "Ouch! I just stuck my finger with the needle!!" My first response was, "Just DON'T bleed on the fabric!!!!" They always laughed, and they were less likely to dwell on their pin prick. :lol: It didn't take them too long to start saying the same thing to each other!!! :lol: :lol:

KAI Rotary Cutters are the brand name. The most popular size is the model RS- 45 which is a 45mm and it's also available in the RS - 60 which is a 60mm. Yes, I did a lot of research before choosing to sell this brand of cutter only in my online store. They are the safest cutter that I have come across, and they're made in Japan! There are a number of dangerous cutters are the marketplace today.

I took a huge chunk from the end of my left index finger with a rotary cutter on Thanksgiving day 12 years ago. The drs. sewed it back. Looks a little funny, but there is sensation and it works.
