Olfa Rotary Ratchet Circular Cutter

The Olfa CMP 3 Rotary Compass Cutter is a precision cutting tool designed to accurately cut circles from soft materials with a simple compass-style action. Fitted with an 18 mm stainless steel rotary blade, it produces smooth, clean cuts while maintaining excellent control.

A unique ratchet handle allows the cutter to work efficiently without continuous wrist rotation, significantly reducing strain during repeated use. This makes it particularly suitable for projects that involve multiple circles or curved elements.

Designed for both right and left-handed users, the cutter operates like a traditional compass, with the pivot point anchoring the centre while the blade rotates smoothly around it. It is suitable for cutting fabric, film, leather, and other soft materials.
