How heavy duty are these? For example, would they easily cut through multiple layers of felt?

I have used them for cutting three layers of denim. They would certainly cut through two layers of felt. I do not think they would easily cut through more.

Yes, I have cut thru felted material for a project and the OLFA cutter works great!

In my opinion, I wouldn't think so. I don't think they would stay sharp after constant use nor would they cut cardstock very cleanly if cutting more that one sheet at a time. (I also happen to scrapbook)

They look like they can be cut, although I have not tried to cut them. I use 4 pads, I under each corner of a sawdust vacuum system.

I do not know. I have not given it to my son yet.. It is for his birthday next month... However since it can cut through plastic I would guess that it would work on felt.

They are quite sharp, so I think they would work for thinner fabrics. I know they could cut through a standard thickness wool felt, but fleece might be too thick. They are definitely not as sharp as sewing scissors.

Good afternoon, we have had some people in the past do this, and had great succses, however, if you were to do this, we would not be able to take any return. They are solid core, so if you chose to cut them, it SHOULD work.Thanks,Aaron

They last a pretty long time...depends a lot on how much you use them and how many layers of fabric you cut at one time.

They can be cut very easily. They are wonderful to use and they wipe clean easily. Enjoy them.

It will cut wool blend felt but the littler ones don't come out perfectly clean. It's not sharp enough to cut craft felt.

I have not cut anything but paper and cardboard. However, I found that the cutting edges on the punches are not accurately sharpened and that may cause some difficulty with the materials you mention. As needed, I sharpen mine by chucking in a drill press and honing the edges with a stone. I'm pretty sure they would cut wool and felt after sharpening provided a good backing surface is provided. I use a piece of oak planking.

Hi Venus, I have cut felt, thin chipboard and of course cardstock. I have embossed all different weights of fabrics, thin cardboard and felt so far. I'm sure it would emboss compressed foam. It is a wonderful embosser and a real workhorse! I would recommend you buy a couple of cutting plates and at least an extra set of the embossing plates. I'm going to try a cut aluminum can. Great idea! I'm that confident about it! I'm all about recycling and creating art! I hope this helps!

I don't think they are that thick, but they do a great job! We had to move a large entertainment center when our floors were done. We also have the other ones for carpet and those work great as well. Definitely worth it!

As far as I can tell, just by looking at them, no. However, I don't think it would be too hard to cut through them if you wanted to permanently remove them.

I doubt these will meet your requirements. They're not thinner than a dime, they're more like the thickness of two dimes. And, they are not completely flat, but slightly rounded toward the top. I used them for "feet" on a cutting board and because I was using a cleaver to chop, they did not "stick". Had I been slicing only, they would have been fine. I went to larger feet (more sticky area on the board surface) and that worked.

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.

I used them on laminate floors which are very slick. These are very good for preventing movement on any surface. Therefore unlikely to cause any scratches on any floor. They are nearly one half inch in thickness and very robust. A very heavy weight will compress them some what, but I believe it would be impossible to compress them so much as to ding any floor. Certainly they would be much better than the bed alone. I cut one of them hem in quarters to put under the legs of an easy chair.
