Ideal For paper, Film, Acetates, Cardboard And Light Wood. For Right And Left-Handed Users, And Comes With 6 COB-1 Blades Review: Works well but be careful with it - Works quite nicely, after slicing my thumb just trying to remove the sheath. The cutter works very well, but you do have to be very careful removing the tight-fitting sheath! Review: Perfect Circles in Vellum - When I opened the package and saw this circle cutter, my immediate reaction was, "Oh my God, this is some little kid's toy." For such a small, lightweight tool, this circle cutter is amazing. As soon as I received it, I used it to cut out 15 X 44.7 mm circles in a sheet of translucent vellum on which I had printed colored circles (for my microscope). I simply set the radius of the circle cutter to 22.35 mm using a caliper, and I used a self-healing cutting mat under the vellum. I found an easy way to make sure that the needle point of the cutter was in the exact center of each colored circle that I had to cut. I was genuinely surprised at how well this circle cutter worked. I used three sheets of plain paper between the vellum and the cutting mat, and the circle cutter only cut the vellum--it didn't even cut the paper more than just a bit of scratching. Amazing. I ended up with 15 very accurate, clean-cut plastic circles of various colors. I don't know how long each cutting blade will last, but it doesn't seem to be getting any duller since I started using it. I just used a light pressure, and went around each circle three or four times until the vellum circle popped out. I wasn't trying to make the cut in one or two passes. I'm very pleased with this circle cutter. I have four more sheets of vellum circles to cut (I'm making Rheinberg filters) and I don't think this circle cutter is going to have the slightest problem getting the job done. I bought the circle cutter, cutting mat, translucent vellum, caliper, and even the microscope from desertcart.

The CMP-1 has a blade similar to an Xacto knife so that can cut paper, cardboard and some foam. I don't know what CMP stands for, I thought it was just a model label. **Q: Does it work on fabric?** A: The rotary cutter is for fabric. The straight-blade cutter is not. Choose which fits your needs. **Q: will it cut aluminum trays - the one that is used for baking?** A: This product is for artist and designers for cutting paper, some thin plastic sheets, poster board, etc. It might work if the thickness of your aluminum tray is about regular disposable baking aluminum foil pan. **Q: Will this tool cut small holes into a thin sheet of latex?** A: I use it on high strength silicone sheets up to 1/16" thick. It gets the job done. Circles as small as 1" and larger turn out surprisingly good. I bought the more expensive rotary version from olfa and a fiskars circle cutter and both were complete failures when cutting silicone rubber. Silicone is tougher then latex. Yes it will work on latex. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well but be careful with it *by C***O on March 25, 2026* Works quite nicely, after slicing my thumb just trying to remove the sheath.

The “JEF” HD-01, and the closely priced OLFA circle cutter. I am reviewing both together. The “JEF” is obviously larger and can do larger holes/circles. This model is easier to use than the OLFA and should be able to cut any circle you would need. My only issue is that it uses a Cricut like blade, and includes 2 extra. The blade works great, it’s replacing it if needed that concerns me. You may just have to buy another whole cutter (although at under$10 not a real problem). The OLFA can cut up to a 6” circle, which covers most card crafting. The OLFA is much more compact and made in Japan instead of China. The OLFA has 6 extra blades and can probably be bought from OLFA. Summary: I really wanted to like the OLFA, but the “JEF” is just so much easier to use. The OLFA has a learning curve and could be difficult for many. I think if you just want to cut circles, get the “JEF”. ## Frequently Bought Together - OLFA Compass Circle Cutter (CMP-1) - Adjustable Compass Style Rotary Circle Cutter w/ 6 Blades for Cutting Circles Up to 6 Inches in Diameter, Replacement Blades: OLFA COB-1 Blades - anezus Self Healing Sewing Mat, 12inch x 18inch Rotary Cutting Mat Double Sided 5-Ply Craft Cutting Board for Sewing Crafts Hobby Fabric Precision Scrapbooking Project - Fiskars SoftGrip Detail Craft Knife - 8" Exacto Knife for Crafting - Multi-Use Exacto Blade Included with Protective Cover --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/1838145-olfa-9911-cmp-1-compass-circle-cutter](https://www.desertcart.de/products/1838145-olfa-9911-cmp-1-compass-circle-cutter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
