I'm sure that the "other" equipment nerds on the Forum can suggest many ways to improve this. For example you could insert this into a drill press to keep it vertical and control depth.

Sailor, I like this suggestion!  Turn on the drill, pull the handle down lowering the cutter and have spiral cut curds.

This is definitely on my list of "have to make"!

Here's my take on that style of curd cutter, made a couple of years ago - it has continued to work well for me.

Could also be inserted into a hand mixer. I would also use a sharp edge instead of the round tube to minimize curd damage.

Such a simple, yet effective design! Thanks for sharing Sailor!
