Easy Cutters are designed to make cutting wood strips quick and accurate. The die-cast aluminum alignment angle plate allows for a wide variety of precise angles while the comfort grip handle makes cutting a breeze.

Easy Cutter — The original Easy Cutter cuts wood strips up to 1"W × 1/2" thick and 3/8" diameter dowels and features a built-in protractor with 45°, 60°, 90° and 120° angles.

Easy Cutter Ultimate — The Easy Cutter Ultimate is the tool to use when you need to make multiple cuts of a particular angle. Just select the angle and click the gauge into position.

Like the Easy Cutter, the Easy Cutter Ultimate cuts wood strips up to 1"W × 1/2" thick and 3/8" diameter dowels. Its unique angle selector features seven popular angles, from 45° to 135°.

Super Easy Cutter — More compact size than the original Easy Cutter and perfect for smaller hands. Cuts wood strips up to 1" x 1/4;" thick and 3/8" dowels. It features a built-in protractor with 45°, 60°, 90° and 120° angles.

Quick and EASY CUTTERS

By Ms. Art Lady

from Western, Arkansas

Comments about Midwest Products Easy Cutters:

I invested in 6 EASY CUTTERS for my classroom. Precise cuts prevent waste and the EASY CUTTER delivers straight cuts and angled cuts with an easy to read built in protracter, allowing easy mittered corners. After a short safety lesson I gave an EASY CUTTER to each workstation. Students in grades 9-12 were eager to try the new EASY CUTTERS out and after one class period of trying out cuts my students were ready to build their take on a tiny house.

Great tool, not as sharp as I thought it would be

By Craftdiva

from Meriden CT

Comments about Midwest Products Easy Cutters:

I Use this cutter for small wood crafting, basswood, balsa, craft wood, dowels, wood that is soft and easy to cut. The tool itself is extremely solid and well made, its on the heavy side. I have small female hands so it's a little harder for me to get a good grip to close / cut intended wood. The measurements / angle guide it great for when specific cuts are needed. However my biggest complaint is that these "cutters"
Are not sharp at all! I thought it was me, user error but my husband tried them and said the same thing. We tried to sharpen them and that helped a little. If I can't get a solid cut then I just use this tool to score each side for the accurate measurements, deep groove mark with this tool, flip wood over, do the same then finish it thru with a craft saw or knife because if you try to cut something thru and force it to cut, I notice that the wood will split, splinter, crack or cut jagged pieces. Better to notch both sides then cut properly. Overall it's good quality just not sharp like you'd think a cutter would be but it fits my needs either way!

Hard to use

By Elaine

Comments about Midwest Products Easy Cutters:

Was so exited when it arrived ! Requires a lot of force to cut! It would have been better it there was some kind of ratchet device. It has a sturdy construction but I have to have my husband make the cuts.

By Doris L Cook

from Mount Ida, Ar

Comments about Midwest Products Easy Cutters:

I bought one Super Easy Cutter about 7 years ago and hated leaving it behind when I moved schools. We used it to cut clean mittered edges for miniture picture frames and angled pieces that fit together for geometric shapes. The more we used this great tool the more jobs we needed it for, sculptures, display...
