45mm vs. 60 mm? I've never used a rotary cutter. I'd mostly be cutting patterns (if it works for that) and bias strips. Which size would be better?

My "go-to" cutter is the 45mm. The 45mm is easier to use for pattern cutting and I feel easier to control. A new blade can easily cut from 4 to 6 layers of fabric. The 60mm is great for cutting layers of 6 or more and great for straight cuts. Any rotary cutter works best with straight cuts and in conjunction with a rotary ruler and mat. Hope this answers your question.

I don't have anything to measure mm right now but I placed old cutter on top of new blades and they are exactly the same size. These fit my grinder attachment and work very well for me. I am very pleased with these replacement blades.

All the same. They're not great, but you can't beat the price. Go to Home Depot, and you'll get four blades for that price. I use a Fein multimaster, and the machine makes a bigger difference in the speed of cutting than the blade does. These ones just don't last as long, but as cheap as they are, I don't mind burning them up in one use cutting plaster or anything else they're not meant for. Even the bi-metal blades are useless in wood after you go through one nail. I usually save the dull blades for cutting Sheetrock or plaster.

Freud makes a 20mm 48 teeth HI ATB blade that fits. Does a very good job of clean cut. Hope this helps.

Go to the Sole Site - they have a great tool for that question "http://www.soletreadmills.com/Comparable?items=59-60"

RG-58 and RG-59, yes, no problem. RG-60, on the other hand, is almost twice the diameter at 0.425", and will not fit in this tool. That shouldn't be a problem though, as no one has been making RG-60 for a number of years now.

This is a ROTARY tool... it takes straight shaft accessories (bits) ... If you want to use a cut off wheel, you can use a cut off wheel... if you want to use a carving bit, you can use a carving bit... if you want to use a sanding drum, you can use a sanding drum... The beauty about this ROTARY tool, is that if the bit fits in the end & tightens up properly, then that is what you can use this for. INCLUDING cutting. The extra bonus with this tool is the adjustable speeds... allows for different materials to be cut with less chance of damaging the materials beyond / surrounding the cut. As long as you have the proper bits for the job (Doesn't have to be B&D branded bits, so if you already have some rotary tool bits laying around that have the straight shaft, then you could most likely use those too) you could use this for various wood working projects ~ from cutting to carving to sanding to polishing & beyond.

If you plan on using it for cutting large pieces the 48 is perfect. But I use it for a lot of different stuff and for the extra bucks for the 48 I felt it will be more versatile if I need it. Its like you said they're the same except for the 48 vs 36 .

You can either do the 50mm or 35mm. Price is very different but either two will do the job great! I have both and use the 35 more because I feel like it is slightly sharper and it is better if you are in a smaller space.

40t will make quicker work and the edge is smooth enough -go with that. But for a bit cleaner edge a 60 would be nice if your not in a hurry

It's really about getting the right mm sizing. I believe that 58mm is standard. I am using this Portafilter on a Rancillio Sylvia and it works great!

If this chain is the OEM chain on 455r (full chisel) it either cuts great or, click, it doesn't- function of the cutter shape. I'd be more concerned about the base metallurgy than any plating, anyway. Keeping a Granberg file guide handy, I'd touch up the cutters every 2nd tankful, a stroke or two each, and focus on the wood.

the Mag drill is awesome. I am a welder. I don't think annular cutters go below 5/16 ". Hougen sells a set 5/16" - 3/4" . Why not use a drill Press or hand drill motor, unless You have a lot of holes ? I am toolaholic on the weld talk forum. Best place for these questions . good luck .Tool

I would buy a cutter designed for those harder than "Normal" types of wire you are needing to cut. Basically the cutters are intended for softer materials... Cutting a coat hanger is enough to nick the blades... The part you want will come from EREM and will cost considerably more than these cutters do. The pair I bought are good grade professional assembly / production cutters that I've used for a year now in more of a hobby type of use and I'd dearly miss them although these are what I'd have purchased for any of my past assembly personnel. They are very similar if not exactly like the Hunter line of tools that I used in 20 years of assembly supervision..RK Johnson Sr I would buy a cutter designed for those harder than "Normal" types of wire you are needing to cut.

Yes, but I'd try it first on some pieces of scrap to make sure you're getting exactly 45 deg. If not move it either way from the "45" on the angle calibration until you find it. I use it for custom cuts on HO scale railroad cars.
