Essentially a rotating razor blade with a protective safety guard attached to an easy-to-grip handle, the rotary cutter works well on a variety of materials, including fabric, paper and leather. When used with a cutting form or straight ruler and a cutting mat, it takes on both curves and straight-line cuts with precision and can slice through multiple layers of material in a single swipe.
