circle cutter

Does anyone have a recommendation for a circle cutter that is available and easy to use? Thanks so much!

@awilesdesigns Until I started using my Cricut and dies, I swore by my Fiskars circle cutter. Cut circles anywhere from 1" to 7" or 8".

If you're looking for anything from 1" to 3.5", I'm thinking that you may have to invest in the size punch you'd like to keep on hand. However, if your looking for a circle cutter that can adjust from 4" to 12", then this seller on Etsy has what you're looking for.

Lis, I didn't know they made such a cutter. Can you share a link?

Hope I don't get in trouble for linking this, as SB is out of stock on most circle cutters.

Some popular options include the Fiskars Circle Cutter, which is affordable and easy to use, and the Olfa Circle Cutter, which is more expensive but offers more precision and versatility. Other options include the Martha Stewart Crafts Circle Cutter and the Creative Memories Circle Cutter. It's always a good idea to read reviews and compare features before making a purchase to ensure that you find the best circle cutter for your needs.

@Dawna.s Place 4 months later and I'm answering your question!!! I still have this cutter but lost the little blade and keep forgetting to pick up a pack when I'm out shopping.

I still have the circle cutter from CM. I found it works best on a glass mat and you do need a fair amount of pressure and precision to get the blade to stay in the track and to cut through the paper depending on thickness.
Blades also need to be purchased again when they are dull and not inexpensive.

Lis, do you find the Fiskars easy to use?

@lisn2cats Wiow Lis that's some cutter! It appears to go to 18" wide. I use the Martha Stewart circle cutter which goes to 12". I don't need anything wider than that and It's handy and easy to use. TFS!

I have the Martha Stewart circle cutter also. I've had it for years and still use it.

I tagged the wrong one LOL Mine goes up to 8". I love it. It's small enough to toss in a basket or drawer and makes up to 8: circles. Dies are great, but if you need a precise 5.375" circle, you can make one with this!

ohhhh, I just realized how easy this one looks to use.
Do you really just line it up, pull the ruler out to where you want, then push and hold in the center and and turn???
Does it stay in place with any grippers at the bottom?
I need this in my life !

It has little jelly feet - rubbery things that grip the paper. You place it wherever you want, hold the plunger thing down and spin the arm that houses the blade. Very easy BUT if you use a dull blade, it shreds more than cuts....I like to call it "distressing my edge" instested of "I'm too cheap and lazy to go out and buy new blades".

Well... it might have fallen into my Amzn cart the other day. I have issues with my fingers and the CM is hard for me to press, hold and keep in the track. I have almost all the shapes they've made. I would probably use circles more though.
Forgot to confess this on the other thread but I'm so far down the well I don't think it really matters.

Maria here's the Martha Stewart circle cutter I use. It's super easy to get the diameter that you want, but you do have to hold down the center button, then rotate the arm. The blade is super sharp and easy to replace., Did you already buy one?
