Thanks for posting Bo, looks like a neat tool to have.

Looks like a neat tool.  I hate trying to cut circles accurately - I can never get them to come out right.  Has anyone ever ordered from the uuorder.com site they are using?

thanks!

Cool, Bo. I've never been able to use an Olfa cutter reliably (I end up with more failures than successes), but this looks like it is idiot proof. I just wonder how well it does concentric circles.

definitely slick looking device - I've never been particularly satisfied with a punch and die set nor the olfa cutter so this may be a good alternative....

Well, I was willing to accept the price, but the shipping charges to Canada are absurd. The grand total will be nearly CAD$100. Too rich for me.

Me also. Shipping is crazy.

I imagine other vendors will pop up eventually...

I've been poking around on their website and I found drastically different prices. One page says $36.85 USD, but if you buy two the price drops to $4.70 each. Yet another page says 6.75 each. What's going on?? I sent them an email, let's see if they respond.

I think the $4.70 and $6.75 are for the different angle blades.

That's not how it's stated on the website.

Thinnerline also sell these on Taobao which offers a better price rate (i.e. around $36 AUD and CAD):

Unfortunately, site is in Chinese which makes ordering tricky.
