can this model effectively cut a sheet of stock paper that has been laminated?

Yes. I do it all the time. I am a classroom teacher and I laminate everything. This is a workhorse and has lasted for many years. It does dull the blade so you need to change the blade every couple of months.

I doubt that would work. It struggles to do much more than one sheet of paper.

I haven't used it for that. But it's a good bet. It scores through laminate much better than a box cutter or utility knife

It only seals around the paper that you laminated. So yes if you cut it then the paper will come apart. But the laminated document is very strong and very durable. Def recommend.

Yes, I have used it to cut "cards" that I have laminated. Apparently it will cut anything scissors will cut...and much easier and better.

I think it will. The sheet, after you peel off the backing paper is translucent, but nearly opaque white. It's easily cut. If you don't need the adhesive factor, you can leave the backing paper on and then it is pretty much 100% opaque white.

Hi, I use to use a smaller 12 inch cutter that could only cut up to 5 sheets at a time. I use a heavy 60-80lb card stock paper for some of my clients and I needed something that would make it easy. This unit handled 50 sheets at a time with no problem. It saved us about 4 hours because it can handle the 11x17 sheets.

I think it should cut fine. If you do tons of laminated badges it may dull the blade over time, but think CARL can easily handle this job.

You could easily make that cut. This paper cutter is really great for the price. The only cuts I have trouble making are if the width of the paper is less than two inches. So, if I had a 2" x 2" piece of paper and I wanted to make it 2" x 1", it won't work because the blade housing is too wide. But to trim a normal-sized piece of paper down is no problem.

You can laminate a page full of business cards & then use a paper cutter to cut them precisely. You can not cut the laminate sheets prior to putting them through the machine.

I don't know. I used a standard office paper cutter and it works fine. You can cut accurately just like a sheet of paper.

I would not recommend cutting a thick and stiff material like plastic laminated card. It looks like this device works so well because the paired cutting wheels rotate agains each other during cutting, thus self hone. Any thick material passing though the cutting wheels may force them apart and you would loose this honeing action and the blade would rapidly dull.

I don't think it would work. The tool does not have a sharp blade for cutting paper or cardboard. The hot knife melts through foam, therefore "cutting" it. Paper does not melt. The hot knife gets really hot, and would melt the core that is sandwiched between the poster board, but wouldn't melt the poster board on the outside. It might even catch the paper on fire. The hot knife is a wonderful tool for cutting styrofoam and I hope to try it out on corrugated plastic (Coroplast), because I think that would work. Maybe you could use Coroplast instead of foam core!

I have never cut anything laminated, but I think it would. The blade is very sharp and cuts good.

Yes, it will cut the paper if entered in "landscape" direction as you call it. About 4 sheets at a time.

Yes, you can cut the sheets after laminating. I've laminated whole sheets of paper and then cut out the individual pieces I need. They are holding up very well. I'm a first grade teacher and laminate a lot of things for use in the classroom.

I doubt it. This cutter works well on paper but has trouble with plastic packaging. Another problem is that replacement blades are not available.
