Easy cutter

Post by Dave Bagwill » Wed Jun 19, 2013 10:24 am

My student Kent brought one of these to the shop yesterday. I was skeptical until I tried it on some brace wood, when it made a clean cut - no compression of the fibers, an actual clean cut.

Seems like a handy tool to keep nearby for cutting miters in softwood and binding etc. It has graduated degree marking all around.

That is a fantastic tool. I bought the Easy Cutter Ultimate which has a miter setting on it to precisely dial in the angle.

Very interesting. Could replace the mini mitre box and saw, eh!

Yeah that little saw scares me, though it does do a good job. I was just really surprised that the easy cutter cut so cleanly.

That is a hobbist tool. I use it when I'm planking model ships. Great tool.
