I'm a teacher and I have small pieces that I have cut and need to laminate. Is it to thick to cut around the objects once laminated?

Yes it is easy to cut around. However it is better to laminate the whole sheet first and then cut so the cut pieces do not move around while laminating. Also you dont have to have any margins around the paper to cut around them. Even when you cut over the 3 layers ( paper between the 2 laminated sides) the lamination will not peel off.

Yes it is- I only used it for certificates, but it feels thick enough to cut multiple pieces.

No it is easy to cut through. I used it for some activities at my church for vbs and had to cut things out and we had no problems.

No, I cut round corners on each piece. But they do come in different thickness, 3ml, 5 ml and up. Use the 3ml and you should be fine.

I used it to cut Harmonics laminate flooring which is 5/16 in thick (7.9mm). It worked very well!

I have trimmed around the edges to make a better edge. I don't trim right up against the laminated object, but leave a little edge around it.

Depends on the thickness. I use it for cutting small cables and tie-wraps. Anything thicker than a pencil, I would definitely not use these. Good luck

You will get the best cut with the laminate side up, not the foam side. The cut should be clean. Once you set the blade against the laminate, push the handle down quickly so it "snaps" the laminate. Be sure to set the blade against the wood before snapping it down. The blade shouldn't have to be sharpened and if my suggestions don't work, then I think your cutter could be defective.

Thank you for your question. This material is too thick and not flexible for your project. You would be better with 4mil material which is thin and will cut with razor, but you may find since you have curves to cut looking at the gyro cutters they cut much easier than razor and produce cleaner curves. Hope this helps. Stencilease Customer Service.

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

I covered these blanks with polymer clay which should have added some strength to hold its shape. It did not hold. A thicker blank would most likely be better for your project.

No, the item goes in, then through the laminator and then you can cut it to your liking. Sometimes I put several things in one sheet but, you have to be rather careful.

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.

Yes! I just used a quick and easy skill saw. It's too thick to cut with scissors.. if that's what you're wondering.

Yes, if there are a few small pieces I generally place all of them together, laminate and then cut themto the shapes. Else you can cut to your preferred size ans is done well.

YES you'll be able to cut it fairly easy providing you have good sharp siss i rs, the top and bottom sections seem to seperate on the edges, so you could peel them apart the few inches you need to cut and this would make it so you could cut a layer at a time.GOOD LUCK

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.

I wouldn't think so. Laminate flooring is a softer material, and this cutter is intended for cutting brittle materials. This tool works by applying stress to the cutting line with the carbide wheel, then bending to finish the cutting process. I would imagine Laminate would need a sharp blade, or if you have an oscillating powertool, it works wonder for most material...except tiles.. :)

You can cut your document right at the paper edge and the film will still adhere. It does adhere to the paper surface, but you will always get a cleaner edge if you leave at least 1/16" of lamination over the document. I got a corner stamp that gives my corners a nice 1/4 round edge, and makes your document look more finished and professional. You can even use the 1/4 round punch on your laminated product even if you cut it right to the document edge. Hope that helps!

They are a bit flexible ----I would make a frame out of 1 x 4". I did this and covered with broadcloth from Hobbylobby. Looks great! You also don't want those little fibers drifting around with no covering.The perfect cutter is an electric carving knife.
