I am trying to make groove on the edges of a piece of mdf so that a plexiglass top with 5 side could sit on it top of it. Will this tool work?

This tool is not really designed to do what I think you are doing. It is more for precision cutting and does not make long cuts in a perfecly straight line. It has a very thin blade so it doesn't remove very much material such as a piece of plexiglass would fill. It would be very difficult to make a straight level cut longer than about 4 inches. I would recommend using a router, with a fence attachment. You can clean up the corners with a hand chisel and have a nice straight step to set the plexi in.

Well, I've never used it that way. This is not a router, but I suppose you could make 2 perpendicular cuts ans it might work.

There's almost no limit for what you can use this tool. I'd practice ahead of time, but I am sure you'd find this would work.

Yes this tool can make a groove. The only problem is the blades are only 1/64 thick. It would take a lot of passes to make a groove. Personal I would use a trim router for making small groves. And you can buy router bits the same size as your plexiglass.

I have never had any luck cutting plexiglass with anything. I have it made to size. Get a very fine toothed blade and practice on a sample of the Plexiglas first. Good luck.

This may work If the diamonds are impregnated on the edges of the disk. They have what Is called a cutoff disk you can use them with the same Dremel tool. Those are meant for the problem you have.

I tried to use it to seal plexiglass to sheet metal and it did not work at all. It may work for your application.

I would think so. It does have adhesive backing. I would not try it on mdf or particle board tho.. We did use it on plastic and metal. I hope this helps out.

Yes, it does. My application was for use on a clear 1/8" thick plexiglass. It worked quite well.

I use mine for a table top!! I took a piece of plexiglass cut it to the length and width of the top cut two pcs of wood screwed them on front and back of the plexi glass to make it set level>and just lift it off whenever! works great!!!!

I would be skeptical of this use. With softer metals I think this tool would leave marks on the material. The wheels have an edge similar to the outside of a quarter, meaning lines perpendicular to the orientation of the material being fed through, this is to help grip the material to force it through. Sounds like you need more of a small sheet metal roller.

This pad is the top plate and is used with a silicone rubber mat. This works with slim metal stencils and dies. Not the thick big Sizzix die.

I purchased this for an unusual application, I made a turntable for finishing my wood products I have a heavy MDF top (24"x24") attached to the Lazy Susan and a plywood base. For this application it rotates just fine with out catching or dragging. I hope this answers your question.

Yes Indeed!. As long as there are several angles on the same plane it will work. The clamping faces on each Angle-Plate (clamp-clip) are hinged so they auto adjust to the angles at each corner. The faces of the clamping surfaces are 3 cm in height so for thinner items, - e.g. 1cm - make sure the Angle-plates are centered. I have had great success elevating the clamped item about 1~2cm so the bottom of the angle plates rest on the bench. In cases where I have a very narrow flat face relataive to the overall thicknes (as with when I do moulding) I use a dowl with a one side planed flat. The curved portion rests aganst the curved section of the moulding, giving me a thicker flat profile to clamp against. I have also used a scrap piece of identical moulding flipped upside down and adjusted for width to give me more clamping surface. I would suggest you buy an extra package of angle plates. (I believe the clamp only comes with Four) They come apart - they are supposed to, its quite useful - and I have broken one (my fault, not Bessy's) Also, if you ever do anything with more than four corners you wil need them. (I have used 12 at a time on one clamp) In short, these are great clamps, I have 7 of them, and they work wonderfully, although you may have to get mildly creative when dealing with 'odd' faces to clamp against. And remember: DONT OVERTIGHTEN!

Yes, it would be very easy to use. Just put your template and fabric onto the mat, cut 1 or 2 sides of the template, and then turn the mat to cut the remaining sides. Much easier than moving the fabric to cut.

Sorry, I have used mine to make my quilting surface slick. It has worked well for that.Thanks Vici

I have used this in plywood and it worked great. I believe it can be attached to a straight edge or a circle attachment. I think amazon has one.

I have cut 3/8 inch plexiglass, and it did just fine. It is not a machine for heavy daily use, but if you need it for home use, it does great.

Yes. I used parts to make the shape that I wanted. The top is in sections probably depending on width. Very easy to work with.

This die was not included in the set I purchased. I have not tried it but if it is as well articulated as all my other dies (many) it should work out just fine. For your other question a rag quilt can be cut to any size or geometric shape. The method of piecing is the same for all. I have made several and I have a special cutting scissor for the fringe. I ruined two pair of good scissors making these quilts. It is spring loaded and easier on the hands, it is sold bY Janome. If you are going to make more than a few I would think the cutter is a good investment. The fringe is the most time consuming and difficult part of the assembly.
