RoMech Mini Electric Cloth Cutter: Versatile Rotary Blade Fabric Cutting Machine for Multi-Layer Leather & Wool (RM-031) Review

I bought this to cut many layers of fabric to make masks for my sisters. I had tendinitis surgery a few months ago and cutting out parts of the template was giving me flare ups so I figured this might work. I underestimated the power of this machine - it runs too fast to cut detail accurately and as I layered the fabric multiple times the cuts were uneven and very sloppy. Really useless. It seemed dangerous and out of control. There's no way to slow it down. I went back to the old haircut. It…

I'm shocked it still works. giving away the best $85 we've spent on tools during the pandemic. but, god, please be careful with this thing. First Review: This thing is heaven and hell. 5 stars, great cutter, 1 star, dangerous. One of the most dangerous…
