I just received mine a few weeks ago, have been cutting geotextiles with it. I am going on a quilt retreat in a few weeks and thought to bring it along, is it too heavy duty for quilting fabrics? Also, should I turn off each time I need to reposition the fabric or just leave it spinning for a bit, I have tended to turn on and off, thinking I don't want it just spinning by itself, but maybe that's fine? Finally, can you use with acrylic templates, or just mark the fabric first?
1. Although the Rotary Cutter is a heavy-duty tool, it can cut light fabrics safely and efficiently. 2. We recommend turning your cordless cutter off while repositioning your fabric for safety reasons. 3. Lastly, we don't recommend using this tool with acrylic templates. It would be best to mark the fabric first. Let us know if you have anymore questions!
This tool can be used with both left and right hands but because of the design, it does create more limited visibility when used with the left. That being said, several left-handed employees here at Sailrite tested this tool out and they were able to use this tool with their right hand with ease. Because this tool involves very little dexterity, they were able to gently guide the tool through their cuts easily.
The Cordless Rotary Cutter will cut through coroplast but you need to be careful with the amount of pressure you apply so you don't cut all the way through. You should practice and get the feel for cutting straight lines and curves before attempting to cut the coroplast. Hope this helps!
For more specific questions, like this, we would recommend emailing info@sailrite.com Through that email we would be able to answer specific questions you have about the tool. Plus if have a specific fabric or application in mind to use this tool on, we can shoot a video and send it over to better answer your question. Hope this is helpful for you!
Will be getting this for sure! I think it will work with being left handed because I’m so used to having right handed tools I have adjusted how I look at the cutting line.
Each battery in the electric rotary cutter provides up to 2 hours of runtime and takes about 2 hours to recharge fully. With two batteries included, you can easily swap them out for uninterrupted cutting.
Oh man I was looking for something like this to cut particle board. I think that’s what it’s called it’s that white board material that is used to make my kids wood seat part and the table top very thin particle board but think goes by a different name something like m.. starts with. M? Will this cut board ?
I think you're referring to Melamine, which is a type of particle board with a white laminated surface. While we haven't tested our tools on Melamine specifically, it would likely dull the blade. We wouldn't recommend using this tool for cutting particle board. Instead, we suggest using a blade specifically designed for cutting Melamine to ensure the best results and maintain the longevity of your tools. Hope this helps!
Hey there! You can purchase the Sailrite Cordless Rotary Cutter here: sailrite.com/Sailrite-Cordless-Rotary-Cutter - The link is also in the description. If you have any other questions, please feel free to let us know!
Hi there! We don't recommend running our cutter against a rail, such as a 2x4, as there isn't a reliable way to do so. Instead, we suggest measuring and marking your fabric before cutting to ensure straight lines. Let us know if you have any other questions or need further assistance!
It can't not cut clear polycarbonate. It is designed as a fabric cutter so it can handle a wide variety of fabrics including upholstery, canvas, leather, and even clear vinyl window material.
Great question! Yes, our cordless rotary cutter would be perfect for cutting cotton sweatpants into sweatshorts. Its sharp blade and ergonomic design makes it easy to cut through fabric with precision and ease. Just make sure to measure and mark the desired length before cutting. Happy crafting!
Looks like fun too!
So cool, dude!! 😮 😊

@@SailriteWorkbench Thank you! This tool has been a lifesaver for my hand :)
When are you going to build a left handed version? It looks like I wouldn't be able to see the material cut line easily when cutting left handed.

This is identical to the VEVOR Fabric Cutter but double the price?
Could this cut plastic laminate
Great set. Very clear instructions. I will be using the cordless cutter. 😤
This is cool and I'd love to use it but would definitely slice my fingers off. Any glove recommendations for extra safety?
have you ever cut coroplast with it ? want to cut coroplast to make sign designs. thanks
The Cordless Rotary Cutter will cut through coroplast but you need to be careful with the amount of pressure you apply so you don't cut all the way through. You should practice and get the feel for cutting straight lines and curves before attempting to cut the coroplast. Hope this helps!
Do you have videos showing it cutting small delicate curves and notches? Id like to know how precise it is to cut a complex pattern

Just got mine. Looks like cutting 40 gauge clear vinyl just got a lot easier!!
On average how long for the battery last on one charge and how long does it take to recharge the battery?
Each battery in the electric rotary cutter provides up to 2 hours of runtime and takes about 2 hours to recharge fully. With two batteries included, you can easily swap them out for uninterrupted cutting.

Hi There is no mention of a charger? Is there a 240volt version of a charger?
The battery charger is 100-240V input and can be used with a universal adapter.
Can you run this against a rail? Say a 2X4? So you can cut fabric straight? I’d like to set up a jig on my 8’ quilting table.

Will it cut through clear marine vinyl like Strataglass?
Yes, it can definitely cut through window vinyl material!
Can it cut clear polycarbonate?
