I got this as part of an eBay lot of drawing/drafting equipment. It looks like a cutting board but it has a hard insert (feels like a very hard plastic).

Genuinely, does anyone actually use the term "rotary cutter"? I feel like it's such a common sense thing to do to just call it a pizza cutter

    A pizza cutter and a rotary cutter are different tools used for different applications, so yes, the term is used very commonly.

    What I meant is colloquially, of course. I use a rotary cutter myself, but if I need someone to pass it to me, I just call it a pizza cutter. Less confusion and people just understand what you're referring to. So my question is, do people actually call it a rotary cutter in common usage

    (I'm asking in a serious context, by the way. I feel like I can't be the only person who just calls it "the pizza cutter tool")
