OLFA engineered this model with a straight, ergonomic handle that helps reduce hand fatigue and a blade slide safety cover for secure storage and transport. It accepts a 60mm circular blade, giving you the reach and durability to handle bulk cutting tasks more efficiently than smaller rotary cutters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 60mm blade perform on layered fabrics?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 60mm blade is intended for cutting multiple layers at once, making it useful for quilt cutting, pattern layout, and batching fabric pieces. OLFA rates this cutter to handle up to eight layers of standard quilting cotton when used with a stable cutting mat and proper technique. The larger blade diameter also holds its edge longer on heavier-weight materials than smaller rotary blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks well on quilting cottons, fleece, felt, wool, and craft foam\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to cut up to eight layers of cotton with clean, continuous cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60mm blade gives extended reach and edge life for bulk tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat safety features protect hands and stored blades?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety is built into the design with a blade slide cover that shields the cutting edge when the tool is not in use.
