You think it would be helpful to cut thick cardboard? I have been looking for a tool that could make small cut outs in a piece of watercolor board.

I bought this for my girlfriend so I cannot answer this questions from experience. I did however ask her. She said the following, "Cardboard is different than watercolor board. But the answer is still no. It only will cut through foam and wood if you try hard enough. Tell them if the watercolor board is foam based then yes, but if it has a cardboard backing then no. Some dont have backing" I hope this helps

Paper shouldn't be a problem at all. I would, however, suggest purchasing a "self-healing mat" as well. The mat will "absorb" the blade, so it will cut smoothly through your thicker paper.

Sure, cutting would be easy. It's kind of like a very thick version of the bubble wrap that is sometimes used in packaging. A lot more durable, though.

Although if you don't mind doing a little craft work, I'm sure you could cut the ports out of the boarder that you will never want to use again once using this. The shape is a bit odd, so I'd wait until you receive the board to cut the right shape.

I think it might possibly slip in place to cut but I do not think this cutter would be strong enough to cut paper that thick. Card stock worked well so I think that might be best.

I used a knife once, but was gentle in cutting and didn't have a problem. I would think if you can find some kind of plastic tool to cut it might be safer.

I read another review where someone said it wouldn't even cut cardboard, but I can just zip through it with mine. I do have to apply some pressure to get it started, but once started, it cuts very easily and quickly. It's not made for solid materials like glass or ceramic.

Although I'm not familiar with "book binders board" if it's a heavy cardboard, I would think that it would work better than any handheld cutter.

Yes - it can cut through poster board - one sheet at a time. I used it on very heavy recycled paper to make round wedding fans. It did very well on that!

yes with no problem.... you would need to use a straight cut bit, 1/4" or maybe even a little smaller 1/8" just take it easy and it would work fine.. you can do some amazing things with this tool.... you ought to see some of the artwork I have done with it.....

It most definitely won't cut a 2mm. soft wood. It's a good & precise tool, but only for light duty use. - It will handle business card thickness cardstock, but nothing more. - I have since obtained a Zutter Round-it-All Heavy Duty Corner Rounder to cut the 1/32" card I use. The cut isn't as clean as I would like, but it beats doing it by hand with scissors. Martha Stewart makes an inexpensive heavy-duty corner rounder that I would like to try, but they don't say what the radius of the cut is. (I require a 1/8" radius, equivalent to a 1/4" diameter.) If you search corner rounder on eBay, you will see many varieties from light duty to heavy duty table mounted ones. It most definitely won't cut a 2mm. soft wood.

No I don't think so. I have not tried it of course but I'm confident it's not sharp enough for that kind of cutting. Thick paper is fine.

While I have not attempted to cut mine, I have no confidence you would be able to get a smooth edge on the cut. My students have dropped the boards enough that several have their corners chipped. They are made of some sort of composite board. The backs are very absorbent and the fronts are of course, sealed. I know that they are not intended to be cut. Unless you desire a large quantity, you might do better at a dollar store so there is little loss if it does not cut well.

As the cork board is framed, I would say cutting it wouldn't be wise. As to how thick it is, I don't know. However, when hanging a calendar, we found it best to use at least two push pins. Hope this helps!

I would suggest buying a tabletop easel that is made specifically for that purpose (For Example: B004XMOT08). Thank you.

Has anyone ever cut slate tiles with this tool? I'm trying to finish a shower wall, and need to rip 2"x2" slate mosaic tiles that are about a half inch thick. I understand I should get a diamond blade.

In my opinion it would be good for circuit boards. Imagine the shape of a sharp pencil, it's like that size
