The AC-1 circle cutter... the BEST
hand-held circle cutter on the market today!


Badge-A-Minit's "Cut A Circle"
  • Other than the tip of it's cutting blade, Badge-A-Minit's "Cut A Circle" is made entirely of plastic.
  • "Cut A Circle" uses a straight-edge cutting blade. The same surface of the blade is used for each cut, which causes the blade to dull quickly.
  • With "Cut A Circle" you have a depth adjustment knob that MUST be adjusted to the right depth to make a good cut. If the blade depth is set too shallow, it won't cut through your artwork. If it is set too deep, the blade will cut into the cutting mat and likely yield a cut that is oblong, rather than round. And if the cutting blade in BAM's cutter happens to go off the edge of the paper, it will likely tear the page as it re-enters.
  • "Cut A Circle" is not fully adjustable. It was designed only to cut circles for Badge-A-Minit size 2-1/4" buttons.


The AC-1 circle cutter

  • The AC-1 circle cutter is made of steel and has been designed to last you a lifetime.
  • The AC-1 circle cutter has a rotary cutting blade. With far more surface area, the AC-1's cutting blade will stay sharper far longer.
  • The AC-1 has no depth adjustment knob and it doesn't need one. You simply apply downward pressure as you turn the handle and the rotary blade cuts your artwork. And if the AC-1's cutting blade happens to go off the edge of your paper, it will keep cutting as it comes back on the paper.
  • The AC-1 is fully adjustable and can be used to make the cuts for any size button, from a one-inch, up to buttons measuring 3-1/2 inches in diameter, and anything in between.
  • If you're going to be making buttons on an ongoing basis, the AC-1 is a much better choice.


Here's a detailed description of the Badge-A-Minit "Cut A Circle" cutter, indicated by the letters shown in the photo above.

A. This is the housing into which the cutting blade is inserted.

B. This is the depth adjustment knob on this cutter. To use this cutter, you must set the depth adjustment knob to the correct depth. Set too shallow and the blade will not cut through your artwork. Set too deep and the cutting blade will cut into the cutting mat and likely cut an oblong shape instead of a perfect circle. Trying to set the depth adjustment knob is one of the things that makes this cutter difficult to use.

C. This is the cutting handle you must hold on to and twist to make the cutter make its cuts. Holding your hand in this position for any length of time is very difficult.
