Can I use this to effortlessly cut through strong thick cardboard boxes, the such as the regular packing/moving boxes (strong thick ones) ?

These are pruning shears for plants and small twigs and work like scissors requiring you to compress the handles for each cut. What you need are box cutters which allow you to slash away and will save you scads of time not to mention the wear and tear on your hand and wrist should you opt for pruning shears which are designed to make one small cut at a time.

This is a gardening tool. What you need is a box cutter, a good clear space, and a firm steady hand. Safety first.

I don't think you can use these for cutting cardboard. They're made for light pruning and do a great job for that purpose.

Yes, you could. It's thick enough. The only thing is you would need to use an exacto knife or other blade to get a a good cut, since scissors don't work well (it will crumble on the ends.)

No, this knife is difficult to operate easily. I would try a different brand that specifically states its use on thick rind foods. Best wishes. Angelica

It easily punches through cardboard, I'm not sure if it would tear lighter weight paper. It is a heavy tool and a little clumsy to use on cardboard. It is better for metals, I use it on coins and metal stampings for jewelry making. I love this tool!

You can't use the cutter on the cardboard mat. It will ruin the mat and it will dull the blade and may damage it.

Sure can. Make sure to use a high-quality ultra-fine finish blade when you rip it to width, and go slowly. You don't want to splinter the edges.

Oh yeah. Can't say as I have done this, but it is plenty strong. I've cut steel with this, it should do it with the appropriate blade.

Yes, I'm sure you can, although I've never done exactly that. I did use it to cut finished kitchen cabinets and it was a good clean cut. Be sure to use a fine toothed blade and test it before you make your finished cut.

Yes, but if the cardboard is heavier you have to roll back and forth once or twice for a clear cut through.

yeah it should but its tough to cut with out wasting or over cutting . or when u want to cut in without touching the outside of the cardboard
1748488
yes, but you would have to clamp it down. and I wouldn't recommend that for common use. It's just so heavy that a cheaper cutter would be easier in the long run. It also has a problem cutting straight (regardless of how much paper you cut)

Technically yes; reliably, no. This is a stack cutter. I bought a cheap Xacto craft cutter for cutting one or two sheets, photos etc.

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 don't see why you couldn't cut it. You'll need a strong, sharp knife of some sort. And to help prevent it from lifting at the corners I would recommend rounding the corners of your cut.

I don't think so. I use it to keep my mailing envelopes completely stiff so I would not ruin my paper cutter blade with it.

No. This is just for wood/laminate flooring purposes. I suppose if you find a tile blade that would fit the saw it would work for tile u to a certain thickness. As it is boxed it will not cut tile.

Hello Angel. Yes. I cut through 3/4" thick TREATED plywood, which is a really dense and heavy plywood because of all the chemicals in it. Treated plywood also tends to hold more moisture than regular plywood, at times it even feels damp to the touch, and two sheets stacked together with out some kind of divider between them will actually "sweat". So I really thought I would have had a problem cutting it, but this tool did great. Just make sure you use the cutter that is specifically for wood. With the correct bit you should be able to cut through any thickness of plywood. Hardwood may cause problems if you cut anything thicker than 3/4". I have not tried it in a full 1" thick hardwood board; as I have only cut ply. Just take your time, don't rush the cuts and clean them out often if you are making thin and curved cuts. If there is a high moisture content in the ply, the sawdust will build up in the cuts. I just repass the bit along the inside of the cut and the spinning bit can be used to clean the area. Please protect your eyes, wear goggles -- I tend to lean down really close to the area as I cut as my eyes are old and getting bad! Good luck with your project -- oh and this tool can be used just like a small dremmel brand tool. I needed to cut some really big nails out of some old wood and I tried one of my metal cutting disk from my dremmel and it worked great. So you can use this for a lot of different things.
