can rotary cutters be used on this item

No, because it is just cardboard. But I went out to my Menards And or hardware store and bought a large Piece of Clear Plexi Glass to put over it. It works fine that way with a rotary cutter.

I'm sure you could, Paul. I'm just saying that any quilter would have a heart attack that you would want to cut paper with a rotary tool! :-) It is very sharp though, so I'm sure it would do what you want. Just don't expect to use it on fabric after that!

Yes, you can use any of those tools, but you may find that the light sabre will warp the edges. What I use id a rotary cutter.see http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=41729&cat;=1,250,43298,43314

Yes as Burg17 said you can use a step down transformer, just ensure that the transformer has a high enough power rating to support the higher current draw of the two saws. The rotary tool I would think would be fine but the saws draw fairly high amps most likely.

Yes. The pads are of similar sizes sold for Dremel. 1/8" shanks will work with any brand rotary tool. Pads come with a tiny centering hole which is very handy for mounting the pads correctly and squarely on the shank.

Late to the game, but...These are too big. However, "Rotozip" makes some fantastic drilling & cutting bits that work great in Rotaty tools like Dremel or WEN. I personally have both, and the Rotozip bits fly through things. We used our Rotozip bits to freehand cut a 6 inch traced circle through bathtub fiberglass. "Like buttah!" The point is, there are lots of affordable drilling/cutting bit options. Make sure you are searching "rotary tool bits".

These do not work with the regular Dremel rotary tools. They only work with the Trio, which is sort of a miniature router.There are router bits for the rotary tools (1/8 inch shaft), but they are much smaller blades and really only useful for fine detail work.

Gary im sure there might be one as an option to buy, but my kit did not come with one, i just got the tool and the seller threw in a few extra cutting bits, thanks for your question tho, id research that a little more, im sure worse case scenario you could make a collar out of like pvc an attached it to the machine to allow you to guide it around a circle, maybe a rod to the center point (middle) or a string on a nail/screw and it would work sort of like a compass

You would have to potentially turn them upside down to use them. As they are they are very stiff and heavy to cut so I imagine it would be uncomfortable. I would recommend the soft grip fiskars, might be the better option.

BhakDiesel, You could use those cut off wheels in a drill, however most drills do not have a very fast RPM, so it would be slow cutting. The rotorary tools actually have a much faster RPM, or most of them, and the wheels would cut much better with an actual rotory tool. But to answer your question; the answer is yes, but you may not like the results because it would be very slow.

I would say most definitely. The rotary cutter is sharp and the mat is self healing. Other mats would have slices in them from the rotary cutter. You can use the rotary cutter to cut out patterns instead of scissors. I wouldn't attempt using any other cutting mat.

This would not be my tool of choice for making the type of cut you describe, although, in an emergency you might be able to rig something up that would be servicable. A circular saw would definitely be preferable especially in terms of smoothness.

Yes. The key is to buy only 45mm blades because any other size will not fit. Any 45mm rotary blades will fit this Fiskars 197990-1001 cutter.

I think you would be fine doing this. I ordered specialized cutters and they did not work as well as just cutting them myself. But I LOVE the machine... Hope this helps...

I can't be positive but I don't see why not. Dremel sells collets that should help the bits work. Just check out the shaft sizes.

Yes and no. Cutter blades (wheels) are built in but in my experience didn't work very well. I bought a separate foil cutter at my wine store that works every time and with one twist.

I have used it for sanding and for grout removal. It is an excellent tool for both of those uses. It is not a rotary tool though, it uses a reciprocating motion. If you are trying to make long cuts in concrete a right angle grinder with a diamond cutter would probably be a better choice.
