I received mine and have been cutting away on 1.25" squares for next pixel quilt. Very smooth. However...I find that I hit the center knob when cutting more than 2 layers! Like it but not loving it!

In truth the smaller the blade the more accurate the cut I can cut four layers with the 18 just fine. I would love the new cutter in the 18 size. Blades are much cheaper too.

I have always used the Olfa Deluxe cutters (the 60 cm being my day to day cutter) because it's squeeze action automatically closes the blade when you take your hand off the handle. So. Much. Safer.
I would love to try a Framore with the Olfa Deluxe handle design!

I got mine. So far like it. I don't usually use the 60 mm although I have one and blades. I started using the 18 mm one sometimes but I guess I always go back to the 45 mm. I love a gizmo so I try a lot of different things.

The Famore's are out of stock everywhere. (MSQ bearing cutters also out of stock.) I notice that Amazon has some Headley's with a bearing (both 60 and 45), but the grip looks less ergonomic. Anyone try the Headley bearing cutters?
