Metro Made: Carcharo Rotary Cutter (build post)
on: December 15, 2013, 08:34:55 PM
I am pretty sure this is the right area for this. I made myself a premo rotary cutter for my hours of nylon cutting I do. The Metro Grade Carcharo!

Here's the blog spot about it: http://metrogradegoods.co...e-carcharo-rotary-cutter/Enjoy!

Nice woodwork, excellently done :salute:

Mad skills with mad imagination makes you do mad things.
You sure have talent... I have been watching your mods from the backround for awhile. I am impressed. Where does all that come from?

  :drool:  That is a really cool looking cutter!!!

  I've seen some folks using it for leather but I did not knew you could use it for nylon.

  One last thing, the guard is simply (but not less effective of course) a disc larger than the cutter?

They are also great to cut Theraband for your slingshot or cloth (its why the Bernina has a rotary cutter). AND Pizza, never forget pizza :D

Necessity is mother of invention, or in my case, a huge curiosity of why things aren't the way I like. So its my necessity of making things mine.

I have been trying to find a Bernina tool for EVER and can't seem to land a decently priced one. One of my grail tools.

It's more like a lollipop shape with a pill shape cut out at the pivot so it can slide into closed and active position. I am waiting on some thumb screws to complete the mechanism so it can be tool free adjustment.

The only one I ever had I gave to my sister (she is a seamstress). Now I regret that :facepalm:
