Common questions

Does it cut like a knife?

No. It scores a groove by removing thin chips, and you snap the sheet along it.

Why not use a utility knife on acrylic?

A wedge-shaped slicing blade splits brittle sheet and cracks it where you do not want. The double-bevel scoring edge plows a groove without wedging.

How many passes and how deep?

Five to ten even, full-length passes to about a third of the thickness for acrylic. Go deeper for thin metal, then flex it to snap.

Will it cut boxes or wallpaper?

No. Soft materials close around the scoring edge. Use a slicing knife for anything soft.
