OLFA Rotary Cutter 45mm

I am thinking about buying a olfa rotary cutter 45 mm for upholstery tweed fabric cutting. (thicker polyester material hard weave)

At Amazon the price is $27.05

https://www.amazon.ca/Olfa-RTY-2-Ergono ... 94&sr=8-10

I was at Fabricland and they were having a sale 50% off couple of days ago. This same Olfa rotary cutter 45mm was their Regular price around $76 and it also had orange price sticker of $38 or so. So I had to ask one of the worker at the location is that the sale price. She said, yup $76 to $38 sounds right.

What's even better is there's as of this post a warehouse deal for $20.82.

Amazon is either amazing or terrible in terms of pricing, even shipped and sold by Amazon.
You're either laughing all the way to the bank or laughing at how much it costs vs buying it somewhere else.
Do you not have anything else to do rather than argue with strangers on the internet
Nope. That's why I'm on the internet arguing with strangers. If I had anything better to do I'd probably be doing it.

Can get rotary cutters for cheap. There are some generic no spring safeties or other bits and they're 5-10 bucks a pop. I honestly preferred these. Otherwise on average 15-25 for a good rotary cutter sounds about right. I had some KAI branded rotary cutters that lasted the longest out of any I used back when I had the family business.

Fabricland pricing is like worst than Cdn Tire IMO.

You should also consider investing in cutting mat...not on sale right now but IIRC this was around $15 not long ago.

Failure is always an option...just not the preferred one!

I do have a small green cutting mat from Princessauto 12 x18 inch. I was thinking about Gingher Scissor since it was 50 % off at Fabricland but then changed my mind and purchased the same scissor my parent had for years and still going strong. Singer Kut-Nit Scissor C808 Brazil (serated type I think it has little bit for spring action) used one off Ebay for $15 US plus I think $13 US for shipping from states. I think it came out to $33 or so Canadian. I paid with mastercard but I have a feeling that Paypal is going to add additonal fee. It happened to me when I purchased camera filter (even though I said mastercard my mastercard bill came with Pay additional fee). I'll try scissor first if it doesn't work out, I'll buy Rotary cutter. I might buy blue foam for seat or on the bottom. Might consider Curve eave or is it poly grip they call it. Already brought two staple puller plus roll of cardboard strip.

I doing a Wing Chair, pulling out original fabric and putting in a new one. I found little thicker Tweed type of upholstrey material beige in color. (Hardy Weave upholstery Tweed) I was actually looking for grey one. Most of these material was sold out at Brampton location of Fabricland so I went to Mississauga location. They had one roll left so I brought 8 metres of it. I didn't do calculation, on website they say 6.5 yards so bacially 7 yards. I added 1 more yard to make it 8 yards. Yard is 36 inch while metre I think is 39 inch or so. Left over material could be used for foot stool or cushion on the side. The material was 50% off Reg price was $11 on sale for $5 per metre.

I going to go slow on this project, take my time. On youtube they make it look so easy.
