Rotary cutter

This tool helps in cutting more than five layers of cloth at a time. It is electrically operated having a round circular shaped blade with a guard in the front of the blade. It is generally used in small garment manufacturing units. There are several sizes and types of rotary cutters available. Blade sizes range from 18 mm to 60 mm in diameter. Smaller diameter blades make cutting out curves and details much easier; whereas the larger-diameter blades make quick work of long, straight cuts.
