How is this any different from just rolling and then cutting rectangles?

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...

This cutter creates three ribbons of dough using small cutters that create an edge like you see in dried lasagna. Not sure it is necessary but it looks nice.

I bought this pasta roller for making Pappardelle pasta. Yes, I suppose I could roll out a flat sheet of pasta and then cut it wider into Pappardelle shape, but I wanted to do it this way. I really love making pasta, and this is just one more "toy" for me.

This attachment makes the lasagna pieces a uniform thickness and width. Hand cut lasagna is also special because you have a more rustic product. I have lasagna pans that I use and appreciate the even width for my pans. There's no right or wrong way , just "your" way. Enjoy!

For one, the thickness and width of the noodles remain consistent throughout the whole batch. Second, you can cut three noodle widths at a time. Third, cleanup is a breeze because you don't have to use your counter to roll out on. Last, the machine can roll and re-roll the dough, even if it starts getting tough. Much more easily an consistently than a rolling pin can. That translates into less dough wasted.

have used it twice, gives the fancy ripple edge and a very consistent thickness.

Using the pasta attachment allows you to keep the thickness uniform. Might not turn out that way with a rolling pin.

It is a little tricky to learn and would be hard to explain in words. A demonstration would serve you better. Perhaps YouTube might have a video. Once folded in half, grasp each side and twist until it all folds into a circle.

There is a paper with pictures showing you how to do this... There's no way I could explain it. It was very frustrating at first till I figured it out. Now, after a few times of doing it, I rarely need to look at the picture to remember how to do it. Piece of advice, though, make sure you don't throw away or lose that paper and keep it in the bag for reference! LOL!

I just recently ventured into this feature myself....(there's so much to do with this machine....I LOVE IT!!!!).....I've only cut common cotton and cotton-blended fabric so far....but I can tell you that it cut those perfectly for me. I used a tip I found online that suggested you iron it to something like freezer paper or "Heat N Bond lite" which is what I use. Place it onto the mat with the paper facing up....the fabric will be directly on the sticky mat......KEEP IN MIND to FLIP YOUR IMAGE BEFORE CUTTING....OR IT WILL come out BACKWARDS. Make sure to do this with letters. I wish I had some to try so I could tell you but I can tell you this....I LOVE this machine!!!!.....there's so much you can do with it and I am so happy I bought one.

You have to cut the pieces out of a plastic sheet. I was not happy about that. I couldn't cut close enough on some and plastic was sticking out :/

It's PVC like material and yes it's very easy to cut. I used a circular saw and a jig saw and neither one of them had a problem. Just don't do like I did and cut the wrong side. Their is a top and bottom, just read the instructions to figure that out.

It's pretty easy. It does curl pretty badly so I would either have someone help you hold it down or use a couple heavy objects so you can get a straight cut. It does have a grid printed on the back for easy measurement.

For circles I just do this by hand until small enough to poke with guard. For lengthwise slicing again I had no problem using spikes on gaurd

Outline the smaller radius the use a metal cutting circular saw blade. That's how I did it

I was able to cut everything with a good wet saw. Beautiful cuts, nice and clean. I wouldn't use tile nippers as the travertine might fracture where you don't want it. If you have intricate cuts, cut them in a single or double line of tile instead of the entire mat of tile. It takes a bit of effort to break the tiles apart, but you will be happier with the precision. Also discovered that while the tiles may mesh together nicely in a dry fit, it was profoundly difficult to do so once the mastic was on the cement backer board. I ended up doing the whole wall 2 rows at a time, breaking each mat into 6 double rows. Took me 2 days, but it was gorgeous! I was able to cut everything with a good wet saw.

I've only used it straight. I expect you would have to go slow to preserve a shape over a lot of cuts because the wire is just that- not very rigid!

Umm.. you don't need attachments to make it a square. Once assembled you just move the walls and make your square. Does that make sense ??? It's simple

You have to turn the knob as you cut. Something like tighten, rotate, tighten, rotate.. repeat until the line is cut.

I'm not sure what you mean. It is a continuous roll which you cut to whatever size you need. It is 11" across and then you cut the length that you want.

This does come in a roll. And it certainly can be cut. Probably using a metal ruler, smooth cutting surface and sharp Xacto knife or matte knife.

Yes. Just use a ruler for straight line cut and you can cut any shape even a design if you are creative.

I used a similar rocking cutter at a pizzeria that I worked at as a teenager. This style of cutter is superior to everything else I've used. The second best I've used beside a rocking pizza cutter was a really big chef's knife that I used in a similar rocking fashion. Otherwise, dragging the blade across the pizza messes it up. Rolling cutters seem to always break and take a long time to cut. The rocking cutter allows you to put weight on the blade and just crunch right through the pizza dough and crust. I used to put 4 cuts into large pizzas (creating 12 slices) evenly in less than 3 seconds. They are large and bulky but well worth it in my opinion.
