I have a Roland knife in front of me, I got an old HP plotter off freecycle, to cut the masking for the letters for my number plate[how lazy is that]
I was pleased when I opened the cover of the pen holder to find it had a blade thingie. The bloke told me it was a "Roland knife". The blade is
mounted in a bearing, but it doesn't look like the point of the blade is on the axis of the body! Dragging it around on my thumb[doesn't seem
very sharp] the blade seems to self centre really well, so it turns and is always pointing in the right direction.
I haven't yet tried the thing, only had it about a year;-)
I actually want it in the next few weeks to cut all the masks for some lettering, I can't afford vinyl sticker sets.
