Easy to operate. Cuts through multiple fabric layers very easily. OLFA's product is a great product. Very easy to change blades. I bought this along with the pinking blade so that I can use this as my pinking rotary. At first I was concerned that changing the blades would be a hassle. It is not. Changing the blades is so easy that I remove the pinking blade and put it back in its case to protect the cutting edges from other notions in my sewing box/tray) when I'm done with pinking. Buying this also gave me a space regular OLFA blade as I already have one on my other OLFA rotary cutter. So now when my regular blade turns dull, I have this one to use and I did not even have to buy another blade. Bonus!
