Fiskars Paper Circle Cutter

Product Information

Keep a firm grip on the Dremel, especially if you’re cutting a circle out of the material entirely. If you let go of the tool once the material falls out, you’re going to have an expensive and dangerous piece of equipment falling to the floor and potentially cutting your feet. With five replacement blades and paper protector included, this is an essential item for card makers and crafters of all abilities.

Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Release the trigger and lift the tool up when you’re done. Hold the tool firmly as you get close to finishing your cut. As soon as you complete your cut, release the trigger and hold the tool firmly in both hands. Lift it up and set it on its side to disassemble the circle cutter kit or measure out your next cut.

Cut perfect circles every time with this fantastic circle cutter with adjustible head to create circles from 10mm up to 300mm. Keep your hands away from the guide line and the pivot foot. So long as you aren’t actively lifting the tool up, the circle cutter attachment should stay where it is.The bit you use depends on the material you’re cutting. If you’re cutting wood, the multipurpose cutting bit is a great choice. If you’re cutting tile, you need a cutting bit designed for ceramic. [4] X Research source If you’re cutting metal, you’ll need a bit designed for the type of metal you’re cutting.

Draw the circle on the surface that you’re going to cut. If you already have your measurements or outline, great! Otherwise, use a measuring tape to calculate the diameter of the circle you want to cut. Hold the measuring tape up to the surface and draw a dot at the center point. Then, use a compass or stencil to outline the surrounding circle. [8] X Research source After fitting the blade into the tool (yellow 45 degrees) and adjusting its position, I dial the size of circle I want into the cutter, and the cutter is sat on a sheet of masking paper. I then use the small handle to turn the inner bearing and a perfect circle is cut. It really is that simple. The gauge works so that the close to the centre of the bearing you adjust the pointer, the smaller the mask. Move it outwards towards the circumference, and your masks are larger. The cutting tools are amazingly sharp and should be kept in their plastic protectors when not in use. The lid is a seriously snug fit, and once you overcome the suction when you remove it, you’ll find a removable tray with foam cut-outs. This contains three different cutting tools in their own plastic box, tool assembly components and a screwdriver. Yes, you will need to assemble this cutter, but it won’t take more than a few minutes. For information, the tray lid tells you the cutting angle for each blade. These are colour-coded for ease of recognition.

Please note: Age restrictions apply - This item is not suitable for those under the age of 18 years. If you’re cutting all the way through a material, set the cutting depth to be at least 1⁄ 4 inch (0.64 cm) longer than the width of your material. If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Dremel is cutting in a fixed position as you move it in a circle. It shouldn’t deviate from the circle you drew, even if you aren’t pushing it in a perfect circle. Turn the Dremel on and push it around the circle you drew. Place one hand on the front half of the Dremel and your other hand on the trigger. Turn the Dremel on and slowly push it around the circle you drew. Apply a light downward pressure to keep the pivot foot firmly planted in the pilot hole and the guide line flat against the surface you’re cutting. Lead the cutting bit around the circle to make your cut. [13] X Research sourceDoes exactly what it was designed to do, and flawlessly. An amazingly high quality tool for which you will find endless masking applications in your hobby, from wheel hubs to inner radius curves for canopies etc. You really should treat yourself! The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships. Simply adjust the cutter to the desired measurement, place on the paper and turn the device to cut the circle with the sharp blade.
