Great
Seems to be a great product. I ordered a arrow stencil and handycap stencil. The professional thicker stencils much easier to use and more durable plastic.

Great company to do business with.

Durable stencils, but extras should be included with the high cost.
Overall the stencils worked well and were heavy enough to withstand some light wind. Some of the directions are bit confusing because of miss prints and the wrong labels, such as 6R, 6L, 2R, and 2L being flip flopped. I also had to purchase a chalk line, plumb line, carpenters square and two cans of paint when other stencils supply these materials for a much lower cost. I also had to refer to the internet for a few measurements. The stencils do buckle after painting and in order to make the lines completely solid you have to use previously used stencils to fill in the gaps. It appears that the stencils will hold up to be used many times.

I have used the Stencil Ease Mylar
I have used the Stencil Ease product, for a while. I have done many projects. I love that I can order it by yardage and that I can get it as wide as 24” wide.

Works well for cutting curves on paper
Works well for cutting curves on paper. It is easy to hold and maneuver. I wish there was a better cap for the device. It comes with a tiny red tube that isn't a blade cover.

Hi Clare,
I am sorry that you have not yet had a good experience with the gyro cut. It is a great tool but does take some time to get used to. I wish that we could sell this in person as in a few minutes I could show you how to make this product work well,
In the absence of that I want to recommend a number of videos
my favorite is by the inventor of the product

A couple of key points
1. make sure that you are cutting on a good surface like a cutting mat or a cutting board
2 make sure the paper or stencil materials is fixed on the cutting area, it is not normally successful to hold with your hand. We recommend tacky adhesive spray ( our version of that is perfect) or tape all sides of the material.
3. Hold the blade where the finger-shaped at the turn of the blade. make sure that the blade is perpendicular to the cutting surface if it is angled the blade cannot rotate well.
4. practice to get a feel for the pressure required to cut the material. make straight cuts to get a feel for it, more pressure will allow you to cut through thicker material. I can cut through 7 mil mylar but i do have to concentrate to keep the correct force applied,
5 Once you are cutting straight lines you should try doing curves to see how the blade rotates. the Blade will natrually rotate once you get the hang of it and you can even do square corners by stopping and rotating the blade.
While you are free to return the cutter, I do recommend that you try again and will believe like thousands before you as to what an easy and capable tool the gyrocutter is,
Regards
Jim
