Does this work well when cutting X-Ray films?

I have a couple of old exrays of my knee, so I went out and tried it. If you go relatively slow it will cut through the sheet, mine didn't have a really smooth edge though. May be because I replaced the cutter with a threaded welding rod though. With sand blasting I sometimes need a very wide cut so I made my own tip.

I haven't used it for that purpose but I can't see why it wouldn't. I primarily use it for heat sealing the ends of ribbon for crafting purposes. It provides enough heat for it so I imagine it would cut x-ray film.

I would not use an electric stencil cutter to cut any type of film with. The chemicals on the film may be extremely toxic and may be very dangerous to breath any fumes coming off of the fume while cutting it with heat.There is plenty of plastic materials like mylar and PETG plastics to choose from that would do a good job for you and not be coated with toxic chemicals.

I haven't tried cutting large multiples of paper with mine yet, but on a single sheet basis it has worked just fine both on thicker brochure type paper, glossy photo paper and regular copy paper.

Yes, easily with a sharp exacto knife. We cut and pieced two of our pieces to fill the window space and didn't have any trouble with cutting the film.

I should think that this set (which I have) might well be useful -ESPECIALLY IF YOU PUT A FILE TO THE "BLADES" yourself. The edges of my set vary in "bite"! Not many really sharp. I strongly recommend the file.Your action and findings would be most interesting and a comment would be VERY welcome. Wm Walter.

Yes no problem it would work great for that. I've used mine for a long time now and no other wire cutter could stand up like this slicer. I would buy it again

It's pretty easy to use with fabrics. The main thing is getting it adhered well to the cutting sheet and adjusting the pressure of the cutting blade. They have a extra sticky backing which I bought, but I find the regular adhesive sheet that came with it works well. The extra sticky sheet was too sticky and distorted my light weight fabrics when I tried to pull them off. I use light cottons for appliqu work and it works well cutting easily and accurately. There are good guidelines in the instructions for cutting different items such as different weights of paper and fabrics. Expensive product but I use it often and would definitely buy it again.

I used scissors to cut with no problem, I am certain xacto for any intricate cut will be fine too. Good luck!

It work as well as any knife for those tasks. It's design however, makes it super for slicing foods like cheese which tend to stick to the blade while cutting. So for me, that is what I use mine for. Great on fresh mozzarella.

It is certainly sharp enough, but if you want a precise cut this would not be the tool for you. It is great for mincing, but not will not compete with skilled knife work.

Yes - that is it's main use for me - fairly precise cuts in steel, stainless, and cast iron. I also use it a bit with carbide die cutters - tons more power than a Dremel.

Yes. I tested it for you. I cut 1 MIL film which is equal to 0.0254mm with this trimmer.

Yes, however, the instructions recommend a very sharp razor blade. The film is somewhat thick and scissors would not make a very even cut.

Absolutely great for ripping as long as your riving knife and or splitter is set correctly. Once I had that set, 3/4" oak boards cut like butter. I will never go back to anything else. It crosscut great as well. The one I used was a 40 tooth, but I would think this would work just as well. I bought mine as Home Depot at a very reasonable price. Other big box stores do not carry Freud blades.

This designed for knives and scissors and works well. I am boy sure it will work on a paper cutter as generally the piece that hours the blade is thick and you need to get the sharpener blades on to the cutter. It is inexpensive enough so if it does not work it is a useful tool.

I've used it to cut through thin sheet metal. It managed to cut through an old Maytag fridge pretty easily.

It cuts about a 99% clean corner, maybe not good enough for NASA, but certainly not a problem if you run your finger along it. I use it to round-off 10mil laminated items, and it has performed perfectly.
