Looking for Carl Cutter, anyone know where I can find him??
Hi Ladies,
Beate showed me her boyfriend Carl Cutter and I need one!!
I tried foreverarts.com with no luck. Office Depot has one for $98.00. The cheapest I've seen so far. If you have any other leads please pass them along. I really need a rotary cutter bad. Looking for the model DC-210.
It takes me so long to prepare for workshops. I'd like to have more time to do all the gazillion other things on my long to do list.
I have a question about Carl. I have one and many times I get a crooked cut from him. What am I doing wrong?! It starts out straight but by the time I get to the end of the cut it kinda curves or something. Is my blade not in tight enough? Am I putting too much pressure on it? This happens with one sheet of CS to several but especially when I'm cutting multi-sheets. My blade is new. Any tips would be appreciated as I hate it not working as well as I expected.
Does anyone know how the Carl compares to Fiskars?
I have the Fisk one that I got at Costco.
Just wondering if I should jump ship to Carl.
Thanks!
Michelle
Get an acrylic quilter's square. Well, it's a triangle, but you know what I mean, right? Just butt it up against the magnetic arm dealie, and you shouldn't have a problem with the drift.
The toll free number for Everafter Arts is: (877) 853-3168.
Mike was very nice. He and his wife are stampers too!!
I'm paying almost 1/2 of what Office Depot had it listed for.
I was searching this morning and the price range was $115-179.00.
If you need a heavy duty rotary cutter this is the place to buy one.
I'm sure he'll appreciate the business.
I'll have a smile for the rest of the day. I can't wait for my boyfriend Carl to be delivered!!
Carl makes Fisk look like a 98 pound weakling! I love my Carl, have had no problem with drift, but I do have to admit when cutting 8 sheets, I double check that I have them straight before I roll the blade.
OH! So, that magnetic arm dealie is supposed to be pushed up against the plastic piece? I'm so dumb. I thought that was to just hold your paper down! I was never shown how to use the thing. I just bought it when a member of my group got up a big order from Mike. Thanks for the tip Jenn! I actually don't quilt so I'm not sure what gadget you're talking about but a friend of mine does. Thanks!

The triangle dealie on top works very well to keep the arm straight! http://www.brewersewing.com/omni.html
You can get them anyplace. I think Walmart has 'em!
Jen,
I am confused. Did you talk with them personally over the phone and work out a deal because on the website the DC-210 was 109.00 more than you had listed for Office Depot. Which cutter did you purchase? I am very new when it comes to cutters. I have the large Fiskars that my husband gave me for my birthday many years ago and have not been satisfied. I use the small one for my card making but it would be nice to have one to cut many papers at one time to prepare for workshops. Just curious.
Yahoo, I just ordered my Carl Cutter. I called their toll free number and talked with Mike. I just gave him my demo number and we get all their products at wholesale. I ordered the DC-210 which cuts 12 inch paper. I probably won't be cutting anything larger! I am so glad my husband is going fishing in Alaska for a week starting this Friday...it was time for me to go shopping :lol: :lol: :lol: Mike said to spread the word....guess SCS is the best place for that!!!! :lol:
Hi, I'm a little confused. Most of you are saying that the Carl cutter is $100+. I bought mine in a scrapbook store for $29.95, and Staples carries them for about the same pricel. Are there different types of Carl cutters? Or did I get a great deal? Susan
There are 11 different models--handheld to personal to professional to 25" Heavy Duty--and they range in price (retail) from $9.99 to $349.99. The Everafterarts.com demo price is significantly less (cost). I've posted the price list in the general forum in the demo section.

I got an email from Mike yesterday regarding shipping to Canada. They're willing to do it but the disclaimer was "it's always fun dealing with Customs".
I will be calling him this weekend to have him elaborate on what that means....his prices are practically a STEAL!!!!

Consider buying the 18" as you can cut 12 x 12 paper diagonally. You can also put two stacks of 8 1/2 x 11 paper side-by-side and cut. This shortens your time by half!
