My pills are uncoated and tend to get crushed when split because of the score mark not lining up with the blade. Will this work?

With this pill splitter there is no need to line up score marks. Better still, load the pills smooth side up.

Yes Though not as cleanly as coated tablets. I have I coated tabs and this cutter works fine.

It should. I have used several pill cutters thru the years and I can honestly say this is the best I have ever used. It splits evenly on oblong, round coated and uncoated pills. I have also used it to split my dog pills. Its worth the money. I have had mine for about a year now and so far its great.

I know that my pills are not coated as well, but they are small. Lining them up is not a problem. There is usually a little waste from cutting but I cut 90 pills in one sitting. I consider the wast to be a non-factor for having split that number of pills. I would guess that the composition of pills, and therefore the waste, would vary depending on the medicine. I also think the best option is to get the correct dosage without having to split them. If you can't do that, this is a good option. Doctors know about the issues of splitting pills and if that is what the doctor wants, I'm sure it's okay. I know that my pills are not coated as well, but they are small.

Works for me. Coated, uncoated, big or little as long as they are round. I don't try to line up the score line and they come out ok.

Yes it easily cuts non scored pills of most all sizes. It's red wedge shape holder keeps pills in perfect position to be accurately split.

I don't know. I'd have to see the hole pattern on the blades that you mention. If the hole patterns match, it'll work!

It cuts more straight than other pill cutters I have tried. The trick I have found is to place the pill in the tip of the triangle and then tip the splitter downwards with the pill and triangle tip (towards the shorter end of the cutter) downwards. And do not push the pill in. Just let it slide downwards on its own. Then cut very quickly. More times than not I get a very clean cut with this method. It does vary by pill however. Some pills are just made so that they do not cut well no matter the cutter. But 9 times out of 10 I get a good cut with most pills.

No mfg split in the tablet for a person to work with - maybe their are pill cutters made ? to splithard tablets w/o the line in them, but I think they would be very hard to split accurately.

Yes, it has worked very well with different sized pills. I just split a centrum multi vitamin so I could answer your question and it worked well. You just have to position the pills correctly.

It will leave a cutting mark and it should be on the "cutting" board one. Won't hurt anything if it's on the A one, but should be on the one marked for cutting....it will look pretty beat up after lots of die cuts.

There is a "score blade" included. Is that what you are referring to? This will make perforated lines. I hope this helps.

It will split pills that are not scored, but whether the result is satisfactory, depends on the binder formula used in the pill.

I guess if you really need to, you could try a pill cutter. The pills seem to be too hard to break otherwise, & I don't see a score on them. Good luck with the pill cutter!

I would first check the blade to see if it has a nick in it. Even the slightest damage to a blade causes problems. Second, check to see if there is paper or glitter stuck in the blade. Glitter is fun, but tough on blades! Third, I would make sure your depth setting is correct. Could possibly be too deep, thus making a mess of your paper. Hope this helps

Sorry Mike. I have a larger cutter that will cut the dementions you ask for. And it will cut it fine. you wont go wrong. After buying the first cutter and saving time and money I would have been wrong not to up grade to the cutters I have.

In my experience, make sure the aluminum piece that goes up next to the blade is adjusted properly. If not it will rub against the blade. More information would be helpfull

I'm not sure if a pill cutter would work to split exactly but the tablets are not scored to break in half.

Both ways will work. I cut my mine to the lengths I need and reuse it. It lasts quite awhile, especially if you have clean props or subjects so as not to spoil the paper.

it went in perfectly for me...u may have to nudge it in with a blade, make sure no edges are bent.

I never tried that combination, I would try a scrap test 1st. Hope that helps
