Would this work on fiberglass reinforced plastic wall panels that are roughly a 1/16" thick? Have been scoring and snapping off with a box cutter now.

Hi... This tool is good to: cutting plastics, lighted ceiling tiles, laminates, and plexiglass for both construction and industrial applications. It's a heavy-duty plastic/laminate cutter designed as a scoring tool for sheet plastics and laminates, allowing for the precise breaking of plastics (exactly as a glass cutter works). If you are trying to break the fiberglass piece, this tool may work for you, but you have to consider that the fiber in the fiberglass may be difficult to "break". I think you should try with a power saw instead. Remember to use protection when you work with fiber glass. I hope this was helpful. Hi...

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

Yes it cuts lamenated flooring I use to cut 6061 T6 aluminum in building my airplane won't work on steel but should cut your sheets fine hope that helps

Unfortunately I can not say if it would work on the specific material you mention but I can attest to the fact that it worked great on acrylic plexiglass plastic sheets that were .06 thickness.

Yes it will work. Fiberglass is listed in the product information as a suitable surface for using the stripper.

I haven't used this on fiber siding myself. However, when u asked this question it made me curious. I just went to the garage and found some Hardibacker. It sliced right through the 1/4 inch hardiboard. I'm sure it would go through the siding. The only problem I can foresee is it being too big to fit in there thickness wise. If it is half inch you would be great. By the way this tool is one of my favorite additions, and I feel like I have a one up on everybody who doesn't have one.

I agree with Sam. Coroplast is a brand name for corrugated plastic (yard signs are made out of it). I have only used it on styrofoam insulation but it goes thru "like butter". I think if you take it slow and let the heat do the work without forcing the knife until you get the feel of it, that it would probably work.

We used them on 2 x 4 deck railing and they were very snug, almost didn't fit. Because they were so tight the little pointy things inside marred the wood. However that said, we used them. I think they would cut into heavy duty plastics.

It says "not for plastic or acrylic" so I would assume that it should not be used on fiberglass.

I have it on a 5 wt fiberglass rod. It's actually a little light on for this heavy rod. It should be about perfect on a graphite rod.

I used a similar cutter on cardboard and foam core for art class. Draw guides lines AND use a ruler to guide the blade, make sure you have something flat and solid under your work surface [I used another sheet of cardboard] press firmly and roll rather slowly. It was the BEST way to cut all the design panels I needed [especially compared to scissors and evil evil box cutters!] However, it will dull the blade quickly.

12" might be pushing it. I think that is the length of the blade. It might crack or splinter the fiberglass. Not sure how smooth the cut would be. Machine was designed for metal.

Yes, my husband cut a 4X6 inch hole in fiberglass around existing valve to cut loose from the plumbing and used compression fittings to make the connection. He thinks the hardest thing will be securing the brackets for hanging. He was able to reach the fastening on the back of ours because our wall was open but said if you use toggle bolts to secure the brackets to the fiberglass wall it should work. He also said it takes at least 60 lbs of water pressure to make the message jets work properly. The only negative is the noise that the little bit of noise the hydro generator makes internally which supplies electricity for the digital display (along with the batteries). Overall we really like it. Will probably get another one for our other bathroom.

I cut hardend fiberglass with it all the time, but if your trying to cut whole sheets of sheetrock id use a cur ular saw

Yes, I was doing that yesterday with cheap 7mm laminate!The blade acts equally over the whole surface of the laminate, so the wider the piece (or if you cut at an angle), then the harder work it is to cut.

I got it to cut outlet boxes in the wall and it didn't work because it cant make a 90 degree corner. Should work fine on coregated

Yes Indeed!. As long as there are several angles on the same plane it will work. The clamping faces on each Angle-Plate (clamp-clip) are hinged so they auto adjust to the angles at each corner. The faces of the clamping surfaces are 3 cm in height so for thinner items, - e.g. 1cm - make sure the Angle-plates are centered. I have had great success elevating the clamped item about 1~2cm so the bottom of the angle plates rest on the bench. In cases where I have a very narrow flat face relataive to the overall thicknes (as with when I do moulding) I use a dowl with a one side planed flat. The curved portion rests aganst the curved section of the moulding, giving me a thicker flat profile to clamp against. I have also used a scrap piece of identical moulding flipped upside down and adjusted for width to give me more clamping surface. I would suggest you buy an extra package of angle plates. (I believe the clamp only comes with Four) They come apart - they are supposed to, its quite useful - and I have broken one (my fault, not Bessy's) Also, if you ever do anything with more than four corners you wil need them. (I have used 12 at a time on one clamp) In short, these are great clamps, I have 7 of them, and they work wonderfully, although you may have to get mildly creative when dealing with 'odd' faces to clamp against. And remember: DONT OVERTIGHTEN!

I have this tool and the cutting edge of each die is pretty sharp. Works well on typical gasket material. Not sure about carbon fiber. I would say if you can cut the material with shop scissors this tool will cut it.

I used mine for Vinyl laminate. 700 sf. It worked excellent. The angle guide is cheap made but it works, just use a square to make sure it's right. No dust & excellent cuts. Remember I was cutting vinyl. Wood over 1/8" May be a different subject.

Probably...if you pre-drilled pilot holes thru the plastic first. As I mentioned in a previous response, I have had amazing success with COMMAND strips. The kind advertised for use of hanging posters. The double-sided tape it came with lasted 2-days. The Commanf strips have been up almost a year with no sign of distress.
