Minimum cut size? I heard that this cutter would not measure all the way down to 1/8", which I need to be able to do my paper quilling. Is that true?

Since I am not a crafter, I don't know how useful it would be for you. I do use it as a letter opener and can cut a sliver off the envelope top without touching the inside contents.

Actually there is a rule along the top. Goes down by the inch wth 1/4 and 1/8" markings. I could cut an 1/8" with mine because it cuts precisely where I want it to.

I just measured mine--it is 5 x 7. So, if you indeed have 6 x 8, I would suggest making sure that you select to print 5x7, centered on 6x8. then you can trim 1/2" on each side, if necessary.

It obviously depends on the thickness of the material, but I feel the cutter is only good for 3-4 sheets of paper. After that it's too hard to get the blade through. Hope that helps.

I'd say yes, if you register the paper carefully and hold down on the bar and don't have too many layers to cut. It's sharp and accurate. Very precise. An eighth of an inch? I suppose.... I got this for my son, for origami and it was really a great and fine tool. it would also be good for making paper chains, for Christmas, that sort of thing. You can get new roller blades too if you wear one out. I guess I'd say you won't have a problem, it's a very good product, very Euro design....

Hi Tom, I think you may have difficulty getting a clean cut since the blade diameter is 1/2" smaller than the surface you're cutting. You'd either end up hand-trimming the remainder or flipping and cutting twice. You may want to look at a sliding compound miter saw or radial arm saw for pieces bigger than 7"

1/2" Foam is the limit for this particular cutter. It has 1/8" marks where you tighten the blade to adjust.

I didn't have a need to measure small pieces. All of the small cuts were waste as I needed the large piece. Not wanting to waste alot of tile I was making very thin cuts when I was practicing. 1.5" should be no problem, of course I don't know what type of tile you intend to cut.

It appears that you would be at 2.25" at best. That's the dimension of the cup plus the width of the cutter. So you would be right at the minimum for your cut.

To be honest, I have different lengths of kraft paper like this, thus would need multiple cutters to fit all the sizes. Therefore, I use the old chair and sharp scissors method! Hope this helps??? Bob

Hi, V---unfortunately, this was not the set I purchased. However, it looks like the smallest diamond is 1" to a side, the largest 4.5" to a side, so logically it would be 1", 1.5", 2", 2.5", 3", 3.5", 4", and 4.5" for a total of 8 cutters. (Lol...oh, well, makes sense to me...)

The manual for my machine says it will take up to a 5/8" shank. The quill has a MT2 taper, so you can use a variety of alternatives - I have a collet chuck, an arbor, and a smaller Jacobs chuck that will fit the machine also.

8" blade should get you darn close, just be sure to do it in small increments.

Just roll the head around uuntil ya find what size ya need. It'll click and you're set. Now I use mine for leather so I don't know about paper.

Sorry Mike. I have a larger cutter that will cut the dementions you ask for. And it will cut it fine. you wont go wrong. After buying the first cutter and saving time and money I would have been wrong not to up grade to the cutters I have.

Yes we did cut 8.5 x 14 inch paper. Didn't have a problem although we just did it as a test in getting use to machine. A someone stated earlier, we also cut short edge.

I've used this with 1/4" and 3/8" combs with no problem. I've bound about 100 books (~70 pages each) at a time. The only thing is you can punch only up to 20 sheets of 20# paper at once, so it can take some time. I think that is the max capacity for tabletop models. If you punch something thick like acetate cover sheets, then do no more than 4 or 5 at a time; I tried to punch a thick stack and jammed the machine. It was difficult to disassemble and clear the mess out.

I don't know. I use it mainly for cutting dense cardboard similar to a strong cereal box and around 8-10 sheets of regular 22# paper. I get square cuts by using the clamp that is operated by the crank handle that clamps the paper parallel to the cutter knife. I'm not using it in a professional manner.........just home stuff. If the guides are adjusted correctly, the measurements are close enough, easily within 1/16". This is not a machine tool for cutting to tolerances on the order of 1/1000". Be aware that this cutter is very heavy and needs a sturdy table or bench.
