Is it possible to cut small circles out of this plastic with scissors, or is it too thick for that?

I used scissors and they worked fine :) the plastic is thick but cuts pretty easily.

Yes, you could. It's thick enough. The only thing is you would need to use an exacto knife or other blade to get a a good cut, since scissors don't work well (it will crumble on the ends.)

You might be able to, but I don't think I would try it. The plastic is pretty hard and I would worry about leaving behind sharp edges.

You can use regular scissors to cut it. Even children's craft scissors will work.

The material is heavy duty plastic but probably could be cut easily with a jig saw. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

I think the cutter might be able to cut acetate (fabric, I assume). However, unless the fabric was pinned down really well I don't know if it would be stiff enough to cut a perfect circle. Hope this helps...!

hello,the mats are very flexible, I haven't cut mine, but I don't see why they couldn't be sized with scissors to fit your need:-)

You could probably cut through them with a dremel or something similar; from what I recall they're too thick to cut with scissors.

Maybe. Of you could find the right sized file for the arc of the cutting surface. But the are so cheap I am not sure it would be worth it. The are all metal under the plastic handle and could be recycled.

Being a plastic material, I suppose it could be cut. Because they are so inexpensive, my recommendation is to buy several.

I have. When I did it I cut the carrot length wise so it wasn't too thick. It can help push softer things through.

Not very easily. The plastic is very hard (and brittle), the the plastic your mouse is made of. You definitely wouldn't be able to cut it with scissors - maybe a saw-zaw, and it would probably have a pretty jagged edge.

Yes it can be cut with a scissor although you need a good one (its about 2 mm thick)

It could be cut, if you don't mind giving up the thicker border edges. I had to cut a hole in mine for the garbage disposal opening and it was not difficult due to the fact that there are so many slots in it. I wasn't cutting thru solid material, just every other slot or so. Go for it, if you can't find anything else.

I'm not sure--the wire might "bend" as it's cutting. It doesn't do well on thin plastic,

No, it's more for straight cuts. You could cut an octagon out an then use a sander to smooth the sides to a circle. I suggest a jig saw but you will need to buy a blade for cutting acrylic & plexiglass.

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.
