OLFA Compass Cutter

Model # CMP-1

--------------------

Will Hendriks brought this tool to my attention.  No great explanation is needed here.  I bought one and tried it out and it worked very well cutting masking tape.  The only limitation it has is it can only cut 10mm holes (roughly 3/8")  in diameter and nothing smaller.  But you may find it useful for British roundels or possibly wheel masks on larger wheels....or maybe you just want to do a spotted formation bird from a WW2 bomber Squadron.  The cost is somewhere around $US10 or a bit less and I bought it at a hardware store.  I found  a hardware store that carried OLFA products and had them special order it in for me.
