cutter is not recommended for HPL or solid wood. Works well on regular laminate and some engineered wood.

I might add that i use a Dremel rotary tool for thick cutting. If you are going to be cutting a lot, it may be a better bet. The cordless handheld is fairly inexpensive and very versatile. It sands, drills, cuts and a few more things. The basic tool comes with a cut off blade and it's easy to use.

I would not recommend cutting a thick and stiff material like plastic laminated card. It looks like this device works so well because the paired cutting wheels rotate agains each other during cutting, thus self hone. Any thick material passing though the cutting wheels may force them apart and you would loose this honeing action and the blade would rapidly dull.

It's pretty easy to use with fabrics. The main thing is getting it adhered well to the cutting sheet and adjusting the pressure of the cutting blade. They have a extra sticky backing which I bought, but I find the regular adhesive sheet that came with it works well. The extra sticky sheet was too sticky and distorted my light weight fabrics when I tried to pull them off. I use light cottons for appliqu work and it works well cutting easily and accurately. There are good guidelines in the instructions for cutting different items such as different weights of paper and fabrics. Expensive product but I use it often and would definitely buy it again.

I just bought whatever kind my hometown hardware store hand in stock. It is cheaper to buy the 8" by 12" sheets and cutting them into four equal pieces. The brand name sheets already cut to size are the most expensive .

I haven't tried that because I'm afraid of messing it up, also I wouldn't know what to cut it with since its so thick and spongy. I honestly don't think cutting myself would be useful so I just bought full sized sheets so they would fit.

I dont think you need it. I just roll flat sheets at the desired thickness. No cuts needed you can't do with a knife.

yes they will work fine for that. although if i were going with that small of a gauge then i would use micro-sheers, e.g as these - http://www.amazon.com/Xuron-410-Micro-Shear-Flush-Cutter/dp/B000IBOOWQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407771113&sr=8-1&keywords=micro+shears

Yes, I have cut through multiple aluminum sheets that are pretty thick. But you may want to get better bits than what comes with the kit.

I wouldn't count on the Dremel Saw-Max to cut any 2-by materials. It's best use in my experience is for cutting flush to walls and other edge-cut projects. It grinds the materials and dulls fairly quickly. Since the "cut" in fairly shallow, it doesn't do well on materials that are thicker than an inch or less. A circular saw works well, like a 7-1/4" blade, hand-held, general purpose electric saw. If you're cutting lots of 2x2's in a cut-off fashion (as opposed to ripping length-wise) an inexpensive miter saw works well. Hope this helps. I use the Dremel Saw-Max strictly as a flush cut saw. I have two of them and one Roto brand saw of similar design. The Roto is toughest of the two. Hope this helps. I wouldn't count on the Dremel Saw-Max to cut any 2-by materials.

I have used it to cut foam core up to 1/2" for my interior design boards, but that's as thick as I've had occassion to cut. I believe you can adjust the depth of the blade up to an inch though.

The Eight Inch Set Will Work The Best.....If You Nee A Greater Cutting Depth.....But They Both Will Work Just Fine For Normal Use....

I honestly don't know. I have used my cutter to slice parchment but nothing thinner than that. It does a nice job on parchment....doesn't leave a frayed edge or not cut cleanly. I would think if your blade is sharp the cutter would do a fine job.

I haven't tried cutting large multiples of paper with mine yet, but on a single sheet basis it has worked just fine both on thicker brochure type paper, glossy photo paper and regular copy paper.

I cut 1/8" plastic engraving stock with it. It works great if you are careful to use a sturdy straight edge and make 2 or more passes and then snap it.

I used homelite and it cuts really great . I recommend the homelite. about 1 and half .

es, this is easy to cut with GOOD scissors. This is fairly thick which is good. Best price I could find also.
