For those who have cut this, would I be able to cut it smoothly in an arc? I need to line a 34-inch-diameter Lazy Susan.

Yes. I cut arcs to fit a corner shelf and it wasn't a problem. I simply drew the shape I needed on the liner, then followed the line to cut by. It is very smooth.

I did not alter the size. Did not have to cut to fit and have no idea,though manufacturer says one could.

I did not have to cut mine. Since the material is a thin plastic sheet with light ridges and bendable, I would have to assume the material should be easy to cut.

I have been wondering the same thing I imagine you would have to cut it to the desired length with a grinder or saw that would cut it without damaging it.

I think you would be fine doing this. I ordered specialized cutters and they did not work as well as just cutting them myself. But I LOVE the machine... Hope this helps...

As I understand it, your question is really how deep a cut can it make?The answer is a little over 1 and a half inches, so the answer is no.I would try to get someone with a table saw or check with Home Depot or Lowes and see if they will do it.

Funny...I purchased it thinking the same thing; that I could cut sections and use; however, that can't be done. It is connected to an electric source; therefore, any cut section would be useless.

Yes I cut mine down a little as well, to make it fit. Be careful to get the length correct. If you cut it too short you are shall we say "screwed". Better to err on the long side as you can always cut off more. There is a small fudge factor involved. I used masking tape at the cut line to make sure I didn't scratch the finish, I got the brown-colored pole. Am happy with the purchase.

That would make a huge mess but I guess you could do it. I used a large serrated knife and a metal straight edge. It's hard to cut precisely. The texture of the material is a little bit like a really firm cake. Due to the density you cant really compress it so cutting it with a power saw would be difficult. I did try my table saw and it clogged up the blade pretty quickly. If you want to use a power tool you might consider a carving knife, it works really well. Otherwise a serrated knife from your kitchen like a bread knife will do the trick

I cut the ends at a 45 degree angle and they virtually disappear. I also find that if you are bending this in a arc (such as a wheel well edge) it will work better if you bend it in a shape similar to what you want and then let it sit that way overnight - if you don't give it a chance to rest and try to force it to bend the way you want it, it will eventually lose grip and you will have to replace it (a problem I'm now having)

I dont think you can cut it. It has a frame on top and it you cut it, it won't be steady. It has a good size it is not that big.

I'm the wife...yes, you have to have a large enough saw or you're out of luck. It's one of the easiest tools to use and we put up "miles" of molding using ours. But we did have to buy a new saw in order to cut the large pieces of molding. It isn't very sturdy, but it works beautifully if you follow directions. I notice one of the other folks answered you in detail. Pay attention to what ginomari had to say. It does work.

Seems like something is wrong. Mine cuts like a hot knife through butter. I have not tried to cut anything larger than 9" or so, but it will go through a 6" branch in 5-10 seconds. I debranched and cut up a fallen 20' pine in about 10 minutes.

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"

hey James!for sur you could cut it, although you'd have to be extra careful and not mess it up: it is a nice product!

i just used a pair of scissors..it took me a little longer but i could cut pieces to fit the odd curves of the garden...best of luck...

Every machine is different, and it depends on what you're cutting. Check out silhouette for beginners on FB they're super helpful.

Yes, it is easy to cut. Make sure you consider the length. You may need more than one.

It is a finished piece so I wouldn't cut it. You *could* cut from the bottom. I purposes this differently than as sold, so I can't answer the hardware question.
