Re: For sale Oval cutter by C&H Bainbridge
These C & H oval cutters are one of the earlier really accurately oval cutters and were probably what was copied by magnola mouldings for then to make their own oval cutter. They are built like tanks and probably will last forever, every part of it is designed and built to last, you won't be needing to worry about getting any spare parts, because there is nothing to wear out.
I used to have the Magnola oval cutter, which is a copy of this and it was great. Since then, I upgraded to the more modern Keencut Oval 6, but realistically the Magnola oval cutter was the better item although I did not know it until I had done the deal. I now have the Fletcher Terry 1100, which is considerably better than the Keencut Oval 6.
The C & H oval cutter is still of the same calibre, quality and accuracy to match every other oval cutter that has come along since. All decent oval cutters are quite heavy and the C & H is no exception. If you want a really good oval cutter, heavy, built to last contruction is something to look for. Top quality oval cutters like this don't come along very often.
