OLFA 45mm RTY-2/NS Quick-Change Rotary Cutter — the go-to fabric cutting tool for quilters, sewists, and crafters — is on sale now for $19.25, marked down from $38.49. Buy online at Cutter's Bench, stack coupon code BENCH10 for an extra 10% off, and qualify for free shipping on orders over $45.00.
This 45mm rotary cutter combines powerful cutting with top-tier safety. The split-blade cover exposes only one edge at a time — slide back the side you need and cut. The contoured handle with integrated finger grooves reduces slippage, and the ambidextrous design serves right- and left-handed users equally well.
Changing the blade on the OLFA RTY-2/NS is fast and tool-free: slide the blade cover back, press the quick-change button, and swap the 45mm blade. It accepts standard OLFA RB45 blades and RB45H heavy-duty (titanium-coated) blades — the RB45H lasts longer through dense layered fabric and batting.
At $19.25 — a 50% discount off the $38.49 compare-at price — this is the affordable entry point into premium Japanese-made rotary cutting. Apply coupon BENCH10 at checkout to save even more, and pair it with RB45 replacement blades to push your order past the $45 free-shipping threshold.
Compared to straight-blade scissors, the RTY-2/NS cuts curved and straight lines through multiple layers in one pass. Compared to fixed-handle rotary cutters, the RTY-2 quick-change system makes blade swaps safer and faster. If you cut heavy canvas or batting daily, step up to an RB45H-equipped setup; for general quilting, the standard RB45 is ideal.

OLFA invented the rotary cutter, and the RTY-2/NS is the refinement of that legacy — a 45mm cutting tool built for safe, powerful, one-pass cuts through layered fabric.
Buy online at Cutter's Bench for $19.25, down from $38.49 — a 50% discount. Stack coupon BENCH10 for 10% more savings, and add RB45 blades to reach the $45 free-shipping threshold. Deals on genuine OLFA tools at this price don't last.
Quilters, garment sewists, and crafters who want tool-free blade changes, ambidextrous handling, and safety-first design without paying full price.
Slide back the split-blade cover, use the quick-change mechanism to release the old 45mm blade, and snap in a new OLFA RB45 or RB45H blade — no tools required.
It takes standard 45mm blades: the OLFA RB45 for everyday fabric cutting or the RB45H heavy-duty titanium-coated blade for longer life through dense layers.
The RB45 is the standard tungsten steel blade; the RB45H is titanium-coated and lasts significantly longer, ideal for heavy batting, canvas, and frequent quilting use.
Cutter's Bench sells it online for $19.25 — a 50% discount off the $38.49 compare-at price. Apply coupon code BENCH10 for an additional 10% off and get free shipping on orders over $45.
Yes — the RTY-2/NS is fully convertible for right- and left-handed cutting, and the split-blade cover keeps the unused edge shielded in either configuration.
I've been quilting for over 20 years and have tried every rotary cutter on the market. This OLFA is by far the smoothest — the blade glides through eight layers of cotton like butter, and the quick-change button means no more fumbling with screws when I swap blades. The contoured handle doesn't fatigue my wrist during long cutting sessions either.
At 68, my grip isn't what it used to be, and the squeeze-style cutters hurt my thumb. This one cuts with a simple press and the anti-slip handle stays put even with my weak grip. I cut an entire queen-size quilt top in one afternoon with zero hand pain. Truly a blessing.
The quick-change mechanism took me a couple of tries to figure out, but once I got it, blade swaps take literally seconds. Cuts cleanly through fleece and cotton. Docking one star because the safety guard feels a bit loose out of the box, though it hasn't failed me yet.
As a left-handed sewist, finding a cutter that actually works for me is a struggle. This one is fully ambidextrous and the blade position works perfectly on my side. Clean cuts, comfortable grip, no skipping.
It's a solid rotary cutter and the quick-change is convenient. Cuts fine through two layers but I notice slight dragging on thicker batting. For the sale price it's worth it, just not the revelation some reviews made it out to be.
Cutting curves has never been easier. The 45mm size is the perfect sweet spot — big enough for straight runs, nimble enough for applique templates. The handle coating genuinely doesn't slip even when my hands get sweaty.
Unfortunately my unit came with a blade that skipped on the very first cut. OLFA customer service sent a replacement blade quickly and the new one cuts beautifully, but the quality control on the initial blade was disappointing. Bumping to two stars for the excellent support and how well it performs now.
Our guild instructor told everyone to buy this model and I see why. The quick-change feature is genius — press the button, drop the old blade in, new one clicks into place. No exposed edges, no screwdrivers. I've cut hundreds of strips for a zigzag quilt and every single one is clean.
Bought it on sale with the coupon and it's definitely worth $19. Handle is comfortable for my medium-sized hands, though my husband with bigger hands finds it slightly narrow. Cuts accurately with my Omnigrid rulers. Would buy again.
Smooth cuts, comfy grip, fast blade changes. Love it.
