An interesting circle cutter.

Just got the ship notice, I assume they're available for you ordering now.

Just in time for me, I'm about to go big on the 1/350 Enterprise and need very small circle masks.
 
Okay, got mine this morning, 2 days.

At first glance, it's basically a sealed bearing and race with a cushion. The acrylic insert and decal isn't super impressive, but looking it over further, it's a nice design with quality parts. Pricey at $50, but by the time you got the individual parts shipped, it probably would be the same or more expensive.

Then I went to use it.

Preparing for a bunch of adjusting/learning curve, I slipped the blade in the holder, laid it on a piece of tape and spun it counter clockwise. Holy Smokes!

This thing is amazing! I cut a less than 1 mm diameter mask, perfectly round on the first try, without even knowing what I was doing or what to expect. It's the rare tool that not only lives up to expectations, but far outweighs them.

Thanks for the heads up James, this is a valuable addition to my bench and will immediately be a lifesaver of the Star Trek build.
 
They have the 60 too, just isn't listed, maybe you can email them and get it added. I just ordered all three packs even though it says reserve.

I guess that was the downside to preordering, I had to pay shipping twice since the packs weren't due until mid June.
