Friday Favs: Martelli Rotary Cutter 

This rotary cutter is one of my favorites. I have the 45 and 60. If you are using a Stripology ruler, they work better than the Olfa. However, changing the blades feels a little dicey (I feel like it is like running through traffic with scissors!). .I use a pair of needle nose pliers which allows me to grip and place the blade easily.. I set mine in a tray to stay upright. I don't use Martelli blades (because I'm cheap!) , and I have never had any problems. The blades that I use are beveled on both sides v. one side. What Martelli does say is that blades that have notches (v. smooth round hole) can wear the spindle. I highly recommend this cutter.

I truly wish it was that easy...I'm having a terrible using it.

Thank you, saw this and wasn't sure how it worked based on the pic so came to RU-vid!

I have a couple of these and I love them too.....and the blades seem to last forever..... Thanks for sharing Ms.Sparrow

Thank you for sharing.

I’m waiting on mine to arrive. I’m hoping it is easier on my carpal tunnel than traditional cutters!
