How many times can you actually use the cutting mat until replacement is required? Can I use it for 100 papers?

Yes, if/when it starts to lose tackiness, wash with soap and warm water to regenerate it. I have even used stencil adhesive on mine to bring sticky back. My pets have helped with crafts too much so some fur had gotten pretty embedded and it was easier to buy new than hand pick it all off. Lol!

I find that I can cut about 5 sheets of card stock cleanly before the edges start fraying instead of cleaving. I haven't attempted dividing up a sheet with the kind of accuracy you're describing. Sorry.

You can't use the cutter on the cardboard mat. It will ruin the mat and it will dull the blade and may damage it.

I do not believe this cutter could do the job. There are mat board cutters that do a great job...hand held and use an xacto blade and are economical. If you want a rotary paper cutter, get one of the Fiskar.

We use almost exclusively recycled paper. This cutter cuts it just fine. It seems to cut almost anything (including fabric, by the way) as long as you keep the blades and cutting mat sharp and replace as needed.

In addition to my last response...I place as many papers as I can fit Ito the film as possible as to not waste the film. I am a kindergarten teacher and go through a lot of the film/pouches. Just make sure to leave a space in between each paper within the pouch so you can cut around it.

I have had success cutting cards apart and other things. They have not fallen apart on me. However, I am sure it might depend on how thick the item is that you are laminating, and how your machine works. I set my machine on the 10ml setting, even though I am using 3ml sheets and it works fine for me.

one - but since you can re-use it over and over (and you can cut to fit baking sheets, cake pans, etc.) it will end up saving you money if you use yours as often as I use mine. I ordered 5.

I've used as small as ones for 10 sheets to as big as ones for 150 sheets, and I own all the comb sizes in between. The key is to empty out the tray frequently (I ruined my first one because my admin forgot to do this) and not to overload with paper while punching holes. Mine has been in active use for 2 years or so, and I'm completely satisfied with it.

Paper shouldn't be a problem at all. I would, however, suggest purchasing a "self-healing mat" as well. The mat will "absorb" the blade, so it will cut smoothly through your thicker paper.

Yes. If it breaks, you can ship it to Estwing or probably take it to any retailer who sells Estwing for exchange (and they'll send the broken one off for replacement or refund). To get it to slice paper, use a stone with leather or a belt sander.

50 sheets. Also, for the standard input paper tray, I have had no problem filling it to capacity (250 sheets). Just fan the new paper as you place it in the tray and that will eliminate any feed issues.

I usually cut 4-5 sheets of 22lb paper at a time. It really cuts poster board as well.

I have only tried one at a time, but it was a very heavy paper and it cut really good!

The mat will not last very long if you cut dough with a sharp knife. If you simply divide the dough with a dull knife or scraper it will hold up.

You can use this Rotary cutter to cut paper. You do need a flat table and a Rotary cutter mat. The mat is "self-healing'. so when you cut on it it heals itself. The cutter part uses rotary cutter blades. If you use yours to cut paper, do not use the same blade for material and visa versa. Just as you wouldn't use your good "material" scissors to cut paper.

When I used it, we made 7 shirts, but I made two of each design. I don't think they would have been reusable for us after that night of t-shirt making. So you can use it a few times, but I doubt more then 5-8. Unless you took extra care of it. After ours got all painted up, they didn't stick as well after awhile. It works great though (don't get me wrong), but I'm not sure it is realy meant for a long term use.
