rotary cutters

Circular cutting tools

Rotary cutters are handheld cutting tools with a circular blade that rotates as you push it along a surface.

They're standard equipment in quilting and sewing, used with a cutting mat to slice through fabric more quickly and precisely than scissors: She ran the rotary cutter along the ruler's edge.

Similar tools exist for cutting paper, vinyl, and other materials.
