OLFA 28 mm Quick-Change Rotary Cutter

What this tool is for

This is the size to compare for small appliqué pieces and close changes of direction. The 28 mm wheel is smaller than the common 45 mm wheel, so less blade projects along a tight turn. Use it with an appropriate cutting template and mat. If your cutting list is mostly long straight strips from folded fabric, compare a 45 mm model before buying a second small cutter.

Fit and buying advice

The sliding lock releases the blade without the nut-and-washer layout of some straight-handle models. OLFA specifies an RB28 refill. Check the RB28 code on any replacement pack you already own.
