I don't use a paper cutter...no reason to. I was a fabric person loooong before I fell under the spell of paper, and rotary cutters are as necessary to a fabric lover as ink is to a paper lover. Hardly a surprise that many (more than many!) of my sewing tools made the switch to the paper side of the table. None are more used than my rotaries. Soon as a blade slips on fabric (fabric requires a much sharper blade than paper), it spends the rest of it's life slicing and dicing paper, clay, metal, wire, acetate, and any other supply it will cut.
The mini (18mm) whips around curves and circles in a snap; the biggie (60 mm) slices through foam board with one swipe (push the blade into the foam board to begin the cut). The 28 mm and 45 mm are used on supplies that are either too thin or thick for those two.
