Stacked cotton cutting
Prepare repeated quilt pieces and production work efficiently when your fabric, mat, ruler and technique support safe multi-layer cutting.
A larger edge for bigger cutting jobs
Fresh 60mm power for layers, thick materials and long clean cuts
The genuine OLFA RB60-1 restores the confident cutting performance of compatible 60mm rotary cutters. Its large, expertly honed tungsten-steel edge is made for sizable projects, fabric stacks and substantial materials where a smaller blade can require more effort or repeated passes.
- 60mm cutting capacity suits long lines, broad shapes, thick materials and efficient project preparation.
- Up to 12 cotton layers is OLFA's official maximum claim in suitable cutting conditions.
- Tungsten-steel construction provides a strong, precisely honed continuous edge.
- One genuine RB60-1 blade arrives protected in its reusable plastic case.

What arrives: one genuine OLFA RB60 60mm continuous-edge rotary blade in a protective plastic case. The rotary cutter handle is not included.
More blade depth for demanding preparation work
A larger rotary blade reaches farther through suitable layers and keeps moving efficiently across broad cutting lines. It is especially useful when batch cutting or working with materials that challenge a smaller everyday cutter.
Thicker materials
Use the larger 60mm edge for suitable wool, fleece, leather, vinyl and other substantial craft or sewing materials.
Long, confident passes
Cover more distance across strips, broad pattern edges and large pieces while keeping the material flat on the mat.
Heavy-duty cutting made easier
Expertly honed for large projects and substantial materials
OLFA makes RB60 from tungsten tool steel and hones it for a sharp, durable edge. The circular blade rolls through the work instead of lifting it like scissors can, helping suitable layers stay aligned against a ruler and cutting mat.
Quilting and patchwork
Cut strips, blocks, borders and repeated cotton pieces in controlled stacks.
Garment and production preparation
Follow long pattern lines and broad curves through suitable fabric layers.
General craft cutting
Work with compatible cotton, wool, paper, vinyl, leather, rubber sheet, film and more.
Genuine OLFA components, clearly identified
One standard RB60 blade arrives in a protective plastic case.

RB60 also fits the OLFA RTY-3/DX ergonomic 60mm cutter.
A fresh 60mm edge supports clean cutting through suitable thick materials and layers.
Fits most 60mm rotary cutters, with one important exception
OLFA states that RB60 is compatible with most 60mm rotary cutter handles and specifically confirms the models below. Always retain the handle's original fixing parts and follow its assembly diagram.
Confirmed OLFA compatibility
- RTY-3/G 60mm Straight Handle Rotary Cutter
- RTY-3/DX 60mm Ergonomic Rotary Cutter
- Most compatible 60mm rotary cutter handles
- Handles whose instructions specify OLFA RB60
This is not the right blade for...
- OLFA CHN-1 chenille cutter, which requires CHB-1
- 18mm, 28mm or 45mm rotary cutter handles
- Tools requiring another diameter or proprietary mounting system
- Decorative, pinking, wave or perforation cutting
- Any damaged handle, guard or blade-retention mechanism
Important CHN-1 distinction: although CHN-1 contains a rotary-style cutting assembly, OLFA specifically states that RB60 is not designed for it. Choose the genuine CHB-1 replacement instead.
Respect the full 60mm edge
Follow your cutter's own replacement diagram
Straight and ergonomic handles use different fixing arrangements. Change the blade on a stable surface, keep every nut, washer and component in order, and never touch the sharpened circumference.
- Lock or fully cover the existing blade before starting.
- Place the cutter flat on a stable surface rather than in your palm.
- Keep each fixing part in its original order and orientation.
- Lift blades by the centre opening or flat face only.
- Reassemble securely and confirm the blade turns freely.
- Test the guard, cover and lock before returning to work.
- Contain the old blade rigidly and follow local sharps-disposal guidance.
The cutting surface makes a measurable difference
Use a self-healing mat
A proper rotary mat protects your table and is gentler on the fine edge than glass, metal, stone or ordinary worktops.
Clear the full cutting path
Pins, clips, zips and ruler edges can nick the blade. Check every centimetre before a long pass.
Use controlled pressure
Let the sharp edge and suitable layer depth do the work. Excess force reduces control and can damage the blade or mat.
OLFA mat test: OLFA reports independent testing in which its rotary blades achieved up to 470 additional yards of cutting when paired with an OLFA self-healing mat. Actual blade life varies with materials, pressure, layer count, maintenance and technique.

OLFA RB60-1 FAQs
How many blades will I receive?
One genuine OLFA RB60 60mm blade in a protective plastic case. This is the RB60-1 single-blade pack.
Which cutters does RB60 fit?
OLFA states that RB60 fits most 60mm rotary cutters and specifically confirms RTY-3/G and RTY-3/DX. Check another handle's instructions before ordering.
Will it fit the OLFA CHN-1 chenille cutter?
No. OLFA specifically states that RB60 is not compatible with CHN-1. That tool requires the separate CHB-1 replacement blade.
Can it really cut 12 cotton layers?
OLFA states up to 12 layers of cotton in suitable conditions. Practical capacity depends on fabric thickness and finish, blade condition, handle, mat, ruler, pressure and technique. Reduce the stack whenever control or cut quality is compromised.
Is this the standard or Endurance blade?
This is the standard RB60 tungsten-steel blade. OLFA's separate RB60H is the premium Endurance version.
What materials can it cut?
OLFA lists cotton, wool, paper, vinyl and leather. Its global information also refers to cloth, rubber sheet and film. Use a suitable cutting mat and test unfamiliar materials first.
When should I replace my blade?
Common signs include skipped fibres, needing extra force, making repeated passes or seeing a rough dragged edge. Check that the handle is assembled correctly and the mat is suitable before replacing it.
Is the cutter included?
No. This listing contains one replacement blade and its protective case only.
Bring clean, efficient power back to your 60mm cutter
Choose the genuine OLFA RB60-1 when thick materials, stacked cotton or long cutting lines start taking more pressure and more passes than they should.
