How do you use the circle cutter?

You have to pressit down and then twist. It's very very hard to use, and if it isn't held down the whoe ie it will rip your paper or skip.

just rotate the gray circle counterclockwise with your hand, should be easy, not hard, if that doesn´t work, then the jaws that close on top, rotate them counterclockwise.

I have found the Arch Foil Cutter to be easy to use. A light squeeze and one and half revolutions usually does it. however keep in mind not all Foils are the same thickness.

There's a hole near the shaft, insert a small screwdriver and twist the cutter head.

There's a blade sharpener directly attached right above the circular blade. You have to open it to apply it to the blade to use.

Turn the plastic top until the half circle opening lines up with the half circle solid piece then punch out. I use a butter knife to punch it out.

It isn't exactly easy nor does it jump right out at you. To attach the blade you first put in the end closest to where your hands grip the handle. To get the outside end of blade on you lean on the cutter with the blade up and the end of the head on a stump or rock. This will close up the "C" enough to allow you get the blade onto the first indent in the end. You can also throw it in a vise to get it this far. Once you've got it that far you can just hit it very hard in the center of the blade and it will pop on all the way. Hope that helps.

It does not have a specific circle shape, but it does have blanks that you can cut a shape into.

There are 3 circle cutters. One is 1 5/8" in diameter, the second is 1 1/8" in diameter, and the third one is 6/8" in diameter. If you meant to say "diameter" instead of "radius," the second one should fit your needs. If you meant "radius" none of them will work. The largest one has a radius of only 13/16". I hope this helps.

Look at this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=myuO863XT08Start At time 5 minute it shows the way to attach the cutter to the machine. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You must first drill a hole for the center of this tool to pivot in a circle. The dremel bit then cuts the circle. I do not know if there is a glass cutting bit for this tool. I have only used this on wood and plastic

You have to hold. I use those thin plastic cutting sheets, then just fold it in to a v shape and slide it into what ever.

The little blades are pretty flimsy. It might work, but there's a pretty good chance that they would snap off. And, when the blades snap off, it's pretty impossible to get the little plastic base out of the blade housing. So then, the whole cutter is permanently dead. If you really, really need to make a circle and $20 is an acceptable gamble, it might be worth a shot. Otherwise, I wouldn't buy it for that purpose.

This attchment is just jig-saw(line-cutting). if you want cut circular holes, you must buy other attachment like hole-saw or router. and this item is attachment accessory. cant work only this item.

Well once you place the cutter on the track;the engage the blade by pushing the button down on the blade you can push or pull.It's a simple straight line if on the track correctly; at the start of your cut push the blade down securely so that you feel you have penetrated the mat cleanly. Then start at the bottom or at the top of your line. In my experience it creates more resistance with the pull than with the push. Keeping a sharp blade is critical. The thickness and quality of the mat have a great deal to do with the resistance you will encounter. I am very pleased with the unit and found the CD very useful with practice and patience you will get great results.

Mine came with an edge guide but no circle cutter. It is a great router and a circle cutting jig is easy to make.
