I want to use this to cut rubber stamps for mounting...will this unit cut through rubber?

I would say that it isn't hot enough for that. It really is designed for cutting foam, as far as I can tell. Hope this helps.

I am not sure that this will do the job you are hoping to do...I have heard of the foam knifes being used to cut stamps, but the ones I have heard of doing so are hot knifes. This cuts foam board well because it has the blade for the paper and the heat for the foam. I think you need more heat than what this will give you.

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

Most definitely! That was the main purpose as to why I purchased this in the first place... For mickey sticker cut-outs. It can even cut through thick cardboard. Just make sure to always wipe the edges after using to keep it clean and always have a "clean-cut" after every use.

I have not tried it on anything other then packaging tape on shipping boxes, mailing bags and some thin paper. I'm thinking its not designed to cut heavy cardboard.

Yes it will cut through metal. Some metals better than others. If you want to go through just a few holes you're in good shape. If you will be doing this for a business and doing many holes, I would suggest spending more money on a profession set of knock out punches.

Absolutely. It easily punches through metal sheets & copper washers, plastic containers and sheeting. The tool itself is pretty heavy. I've gone through corrugated card board. For paper, you may have to punch several sheets at a time because the tool is so heavy. I have arthritis in my hands and can punch metal without having to apply much pressure.

I've used this mainly for gunsmithing. Trimming barrels for re-crowning, cutting new slots on stripped screw heads, etc. Should cut through sheet metal easily. Works okay as long as pressure isn't too much. Let the tool do the work. I have since moved up to a Dremel. Had I the money at the time, that would have been my first choice.

Yes, I have cut through multiple aluminum sheets that are pretty thick. But you may want to get better bits than what comes with the kit.

Sorry, I couldn't say. I use this for styrene plastic, although I do cut up to .04 In thick sheets with it (it does take a mighty whack to get through). The one thing I do notice, if you do not cut through the stock with a single hit, the circle's edges will be irregular and uneven. Hope this helps.

No. I have not had success using it to cut stickers with a plastic coating or to cut plastic lighting materials.

Don't think it will cut tile however this tool I've used for everything wooden! It is excellent tool for any fine detail trim work!

Yes. That's what I've been using it for. Be sure to watch the gauge of the metal you are cutting versus the maximum gauge that the cutter is rated for.

I must use tin snips and if the edges are rough file them down a little. Hacksaw might work as well if you take the rubber out and cut the rubber separately with scizzors.

I have never tried it personally, but this thing is amazingly sharp and strong. It can cut 250 pages of card stock or 350 regular paper, so I would imagine it must cut stickers

It would do the hardibacker board. But to cut through the tile you would need something to cut through tile like a tile bit.

Depends on your idea of easy. The pads are very dense rubber so scissors and tin snips are out. You could cut with a serrated saw blade like a hacksaw. I used these under the feet of a 600lb air compressor an they worked well as a dampener. I was able to drill through them easily but had to keep running the drill bit through to remove the excess rubber.

Not a good choice because you would break or have to utilize a number of the etch type bits to complete this heavier type job. Standard straight bit will cut, but take a lot to do it with the smaller bits!! Regular standard size bits and router for best and safest cutouts. Good Luck!
