Fiskars Circle Cutter with 3 Replacement Blades - 1" to 8” Cut Length - Arts and Crafts Paper Cutter - Clear/Orange

This is so handy! Circles are impossible to freehand. With this you just set it to the size you want, push down and turn the cutter around the circle! So easy! It's worked on everything I've tried it on, including adhesive vinyl which can be finicky. The only con is it's sometimes hard to see where you're cutting when you're trying to do things close together to save material. Other than that I love it. Plus it came with 2 extra blades!

My Fiskars Circle cutter arrived ready for me to use to cut circles out of my cardstock paper. It is easy to use and because you can see the paper you are cutting, it is useful for cutting pre-designed papers. I did find it hard to use initially, the directions were difficult for me to follow.. Once I started using it, cutting circles were easy. It comes with replacement blades which I think is great. I won't have to order and pay for replacement blades for a while. It cuts well and cleanly. I think that once one gets through the directions for its use, it does the job well. Fiskars is a well known brand and this Circle cutter lives up to my expectations.

The quality of the blade has gone way down hill! NOT WORTH THE PURCHASE! Will not cut through 1 piece of copy paper without skipping parts of the circle! Very frustrating! I had bought exact cutter years back, worked wonderful. Cut through several sheets of paper with no problem, construction paper as well. Perfect full cut every time.

I have used this product to cut out circles from small pieces of cardstock. The bottom grip doesn't stop the paper from rotating and getting torn instead of cut, and if you use too much pressure to stop the paper from rotating, you damage whatever material you have under the paper with the blade. I personally have to tape the paper to a large piece of cardboard in order to cut a perfect circle. And yet sometimes it still messes up the cut, but it does work 95% of the time. I have only cut 1.5" circles or smaller, but I don't see how this would be able to cut up to 8" circles without just tearing the paper instead of cutting it.If you do plan to buy and use this, expect to struggle a lot in the beginning to find out a good way to use this product without damaging the paper, a table, or your floor, as I have uneven circle cuts on my desk, and floor trying to figure out a way to make this product work without destroying your paper.

This does what it is supposed to, namely cut out circles. I've just used it on cardstock and the blade works well. It can be a touch awkward keeping pressure on the center while moving the blade around a full circle. It also became more useful for my task of cutting out a pre-printed circular item once I discovered that the pad in the center pulls off to reveal a needle point that can be used for matching a particular center point. The clear base makes it possible to align properly, but you have to be careful to get things aligned as there is some distortion from the curved/slanted transparent base.

I received it, but again not time to use it yet. I hope I can soon

This review is based on the Fiskars cutter that I received 2.17.24 (maybe there was a production flaw with it)Saw this product and was super happy, great this will help me with the 400+ circles of all sizes I need. Brought this for a major project, picked this one because of the maker Fiskars and the reviews; I have to say I am extremely disappointed, as it being a Fiskars product I truly expected great performance and quality unfortunately I got poor to mediocre performance and low grade quality.Performance -1. The blade tended to skip areas of the paper/cardstock, I had to repeatly go over the area a 3- 5 times to get it to cut and still sometimes it wouldn't cut which left me to hand cut (via scissors or exacto knife) the circle.2. I didn't find that it gave good precise cuts as I was sitting using the cutter so I stood up while using to have more control/balance...same cutting (or should I say semi-cutting) results, I had to hand cutout the parts that were skipped over; basically I wound up doing double work.3. The "stopper" needle was an issue for 2 reasonsA). The indent from the center needle didn't give my project a good look.B). Maneuvering the base while holding the button down was as issue at most times (as I turned it under my hand, I would have to shift my hand slightly therefore releasing the button) the needle would shift causing the circle to be slightly off.4. The measurements indicator arrow is hard to as it is clear, I suggest the company either make the arrow indicator a different color or place it somewhere different.Quality-1. The blade is EXTREMELY short and doesn't last long (I attempted 120 circles on 176gsm cardstock, (after the 42 good ones and 18 not so good and 10 I couldn't save/use I stopped), the blade dulled out (I now understand why it comes with 2 extra blades); A LOT of cardstock was wasted.2. I tried cutting out circles using cereal boxes opposed to cardstock, I did get a little better cut but had to go over the circle 2 times for it to come out.All in all this cutter didn't live up to the expectations I had, I was doing double to triple work, i.e. cutting out the areas that were skipped over or missed entirely and/or painting the cardboard circles the color I needed them (that was less time consuming than trying to cutout the cardstock). If your a person with hand dexterity issues this cutter will have you work harder not easier. Between the continuous circling with the cutter and fussy cutting out the faux pas my fingers, hand/forearm was tired. Returning for refund.
