## Overview

The Olfa RTY-2/G rotary cutter features a premium 45 mm blade engineered for precise, multi-layer fabric cutting.

## Description

The Pilot Pen Olfa RTY-2/G rotary cutter with a 45 mm blade is a deluxe rotary cutter designed for accurately and efficiently cutting fabric into shapes and strips. Its sharp blade easily slices through thin and thick pieces of fabric, making it ideal for multi-layer and gentle curve cutting as well as sewing, quilting and craft. The cutter incorporates an ergonomic handle, which helps to reduce hand and wrist fatigue when performing lengthy tasks, and features a dual-action safety mechanism. It is designed to accommodate both right and left-handed users. The design of the Pilot Pen Olfa RTY-2/G rotary cutter with a 45 mm blade stems from the invention of the world’s first snap-off blade cutter by Yoshio Okada in 1956. Okada, the founder of Olfa Corporation, was inspired to create this incredibly useful tool after breaking off segments of chocolate bars and analysing the sharp edges of broken glass. The snap-off blade cutter has since become a bestseller across the world and is commonly referred to as an “Olfa cutter”. The length, width and angle of the blade, established by Okada, have also become the worldwide standard for the snap-off blade.Olfa’s carefully selected materials, superior engineering techniques, vast knowledge and experimental know-how about knives and blades, and strictly controlled manufacturing processes, enable it to manufacture the highest quality products in the world.

Review: Great product at an amazing price - Love it, I bought it for my Mum as a birthday gift and she loves it. It has made her life easier and her fabric cutting more accurate. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is making corona virus masks or any fabric cutting in general as it makes the process so much easier and saves time too. Would highly recommend great price and a great product.
Review: Ideal for LEFT-HANDED users - Excellent rotary cutter and much better than other models which claim to be suitable for both left- and right-handed users. For a left-handed person all you do is just turn it over so that the blade sits neatly up against the edge of the cutting ruler. There are no backing discs that move from side to side (and won't stay in place) and there is no need to struggle to see the alignment of the blade by contorting yourself over the cutter in order to see the cutting line. Like all the best inventions for left-handed people this is very very simple to use and gives excellent results everytime.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a good tool for cutting t shirts?**
A: If you mean cutting them up for rags, yes; if you mean cutting out T-shirts to sew, not so much. I don't like cutting curves with my rotary cutter, but I know people who do.

**Q: Received my rotary cutter today. why is the blade covered in so much oil?  how do i clean it so i can use it.**
A: It is normal to oil the rotary cutter.  Some might have coated the blade. Warm soapy water as it is sewing machine oil and wipe off several times with a cloth.  Several practice cuts on muslin should do the trick. Carefully remove the blade. Clean any lint build-up on the blade & the handle. Put a drop of sewing machine oil around the center of the blade before reassembling.

**Q: Does it come with an extra blade please?**
A: This only comes with 1 blade. You may buy extra replacement blades separately.

**Q: I build miniature log cabins. I need a rotary cutter that will cut through small pieces of wood . Is there one to be recommended?**
A: No, it is for fabric and will not cut wood. What I would recommend for you is a small Dremil. Not sure of the spelling, but it is a great hand held small tool that you can purchase multiple different attachments for all types of crafting and repairs.
Available at Lowe’s, Home Depot and maybe on Amazon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ideal for LEFT-HANDED users

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works reasonably well with leather
*by C***S on 23 May 2020*

I bought this primarily because I'm getting into leathercraft and a round-headed knife is just an extortionate amount of money, so this seemed like the next best thing. I've tried this on a reasonable thickness leather and thin leather. Thin leather it slices like a dream, thicker leather it does, but there are very rare times where parts didn't cut all the way so it needs a second run over the line. As for accuracy, it was what I had most trouble with. I used a set square for my line and pull straight back with the cutter and I don't think I'm like Shakin' Stevens - perhaps it is my inexperience - but occasionally the straight line will stray, needing to slice off minute shavings that weren't taken off the first time. Maybe an expert would do a better job than I did but I muddled through it. I'd say a good leather cutting tool for a beginner on a budget.
