Kai Rotary Cutter Review

Kai Rotary Cutter review: I used the Kai rotary cutter yesterday and it cuts nicely. I just have to get used to the slightly looser feel of the blade and to take my time when I use my Stripology Ruler, since I have to gently place the blade into the groove to cut. I love that I don't have to open or close the blade on the Kai!

The Kai Cutter & Blades that I won from the Sew-a-thon.

One thing that is a big plus for the Kai cutter, is there are no wavy washers! I have broken a few of those washers on some of the Olfa cutters that I have over the years and those washers aren't sold in many places and when I do find them, they are so pricey. I did find some washers from a place in China that came in a package of several washers, and were cheap enough to take a chance on buying them. They do work, however the screw nut loosens after a few cuts and I am constantly tightening it. Not sure if all those washers are the same, but I do know that none of the rotary cutter brands that sell their cutters at quilt shops online or in brick & mortar buildings even stock or sell washer replacements at all, which is a shame as they would sell them if they stocked them. If you do find any of these washers for sale they are generic, so they may or may not work well? I was happy to have won a Kai cutter and love that there is no washer at all, so when the washers of my other cutters break, I will only use the Kai. I do have 4 different size cutters of Olfa, and Kai does make 3 of the sizes: 28mm, 45mm and 60mm, which are the ones I use the most. I have an 18mm from Olfa too, but rarely use that one, so I might be replacing my cutters to Kai as the washers break on my other cutters.
