Circle Cutter with 3 Replacement Blades - 1" to 8” Cut Length - Arts and Crafts Paper Cutter - Clear/Orange

I used this item to make snow globe Christmas cards. It was the perfect size for the card and allowed a nice photograph to fit in the background. I also ordered snowflake glitter. The card stock was heavy and the cutter cut perfectly. I did take a practice cut or two so I could master the technique.

It worked! I like the uniformity of the circle. Measure mark and use the tool. I used a cutting pad. It didn’t go though all the layers pressing hard but got the first two. So I finished up with tiny scissors and it was easy with circle already cut for guide. So much better than I could have done without it

This cutter offers flexibility of allowing for the circle size to be set exactly where you need, an advantage over the fixed-size circle punches. There was only one circle punch in the size I needed (2.25") and the machining of the cutting surface was so poor that I couldn't get one that actually punched properly. This was the only reasonably priced option that I could find that would let me cut a 2.25" circle. My use case is in cutting out circular filters for my espresso portafilter (a 58mm standard size) from Hario V60 filters. I can get two cuts per Hario filter, and each cut gets 2 filters as it's 2 sheets thick, so 4 espresso filters per Hario filter. I also found it helpful to get a craft cutting board as I had nothing else around to cut on -- counters are a bad idea, and boards will dull the blade. It did take me a number of wasted filters to finally figure this out, and what I found is that I get the best cuts when I don't press the center TOO hard, just enough to hold firm, and then don't press down too hard on the cutting blade. Gently rotate, very slightly press, and maybe go a few times around. Pressing ANY part too firmly causes it to bunch the paper up and it ruins the whole thing. I also found that it actually does a BETTER job and cuts more evenly when going for 2 or 3 filters at a time (Hario filters, that is) rather than just one, for some reason. My complaints are that it can be very hard to judge exactly where to place it. You can see where the blade is going to be on one side but where it reaches on the other side isn't always easy to assess. It can also be really hard to rotate the blade part properly AND put just a bit of pressure on the blade to make it cut all the while holding down the center with the right amount of pressure (goldilocks, not too much or too little). I can't really see through to what's going on, and I can't really see through to decide whether it's cut enough to stop and remove it. Once you've moved it at all, you're done. You are not going to get it back in place to try again if you missed a spot. For the money I don't know of a better option, but it seems like some things might be able to improve even with this fairly cheap product. Still, it might be your best or only option without spending a fortune. It's workable for those of you who are also trying not to spend a fortune on precut espresso paper filters.

This cutter is not what I expected. It takes 4 hands to manipulate the cutter to cut a 3 inch circle. Someone has to hold the media down that is being cut or clamp it to the table. Then you hold down on the plunger on top while you swing the cutter blade around. The ruler is marked but there is no pointer mark to tell you where to set the ruler for the diameter of the circle you want. You also have to place the cutter on a piece of plywood or pice of steel, unless you don't mind having a circle cut in your counter top or table top. Save your money it isn't worth it. To send it back it cost half of the amount it costs which is a rip off in my opinion, so it is sitting in the junk drawer.

This Circle Cutter from Fiskars is surprisingly not that great of quality especially considering how well their products usually are. I needed something that would cut perfectly shaped circles evenly every time & obviously even if you trace something & cut with scissors they will not be perfectly aligned so off to Amazon I went & came across this. Being in the crafting business for umpteen years now I know the Fiskars name & the quality they bring to their products....well, this one I don't know what they were thinking or what happened???!!!! The numbers inside where you NEED to see to set the size of the circle you want is barely visible to the naked eye and yes, I realize I wear bifocals and I am a bit older so I asked my Grandson who has perfect vision, 14yrs old & even he admits, it's an awful read. Terrible placement, terrible clear color on clear acrylic! So now you are wasting tons of time trying to find the size ion hopes that you have it right...hold the thing still so it doesn't move to find out you weren't on the right number after all.....so frustrating! I have found a little bit of a work around for now by using the outside numbers, but that will not always work if I need other sized circles.....debating whether to return while I still have a few days left. Comes with three replacement blades, that are easily stored inside little compartments so they don't fall out. Blades that come with it aren't that sharp-do cut but had to cut through several times. Would definitely recommend getting replacement blades. Remember cutting paper dulls blades quickly also so you will go through a lot unless you can find really good sharp ones on Amazon. At $27.58 (at time of posting this, 10/16/25) I think that is an EXUBERANT amount of money to ask for this especially given the overall quality. I'm really disappointed from you Fiskars, not sure what happened but the mark was certainly missed on this product!

Works well. Needed it for a button maker and once we figured out how to use it it’s worked just fine

I didn't realize I would need to separately purchase a cutting wheel insert to cut circles in my rubber roof membrane, so this is not a strike against the product but just to let you know that such an optional insert you will need to cut fabrics and such. Ive owned a whole lot of Fiskars products and always they are quality. I recommend

The cutting blade has NOTHING holding it in, and when I opened the package it dropped to the floor (tile) and of course landed tip down and broke. POOR DESIGN. Now I have only the 2 spare cutters. The size adjustment is a CLEAR arrow stamped on a CLEAR plastic piece that is supposed to align with a set of CLEAR lines... and it's located INSIDE the body. POOR DESIGN. There's so much 'stuff' in the way that it's hard to see where you place the cutter. It would have been sooooo easy to print a series of thin concentric black circles on the base to help align the cutter... but NOOOOO. There's NO depth control. So when cutting paper, it cuts all the way through your base material, causing more wear on the blade. Again, could have easily made it adjustable, but nope. Functional? Yes, it will cut circles, slowly and with some awkwardness. Would I buy again? Meh... maybe if it was just for me, but definitely not for a non-adult, especially with a razor sharp blade that just falls out.
