Will this paper cutter cut medium weight chipboard?

Have not tried anything heavier inkjet paper. However, I also have a 17" dual rail model which will cut 1/16" mat board. I think you will have better luck with the dual rail models. However, the price escalates.

I've never used it for chipboard, but I have cut 3 sheets of 65lb cardstock at one time. Together their thickness is 0.027 and I believe medium weight chipboard is 0.030? I'm not sure this is the best cutter for chipboard.

yes it will cut them and do so as well as machines in the $1200 variety! sometimes you have a little trouble cutting just an inch or so. but I fabbed a little table extension pretty easily. that helped but it was hardly necessary 95 percent of the time.

Some will argue that it is not "precise enough" for the task at hand. I use it primarily for cutting stacks of bulletins, announcements, and some posters. So far, when cutting smaller stacks of heavyweight paper, it's been precise to about 1/32 of an inch. If you cram the paper in beyond what is suggested, you will likely encounter a problem. The green plastic holder you see just beside the blade is very snug on the paper or card stock when the lock is in the proper place. If you forget to lock it, well, it will move!! That is not the fault of the cutter. Several staff members have used and like the precision of the cutter. No complaints from us! It is an extreme improvement over what we have had in the past.

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.

yes it will, if you cut the boards twice. I use this saw to cut 5/4" by 6" decking into thinner planks for some trim things on jobsites. You will have to go slow and make sure you keep the material straight and plumb. Only other tools I own that i could make a cut like that with are band saw (stuck at a shop) or planer (take forever and make too much dust). Maybe not what this saw was intended for but it works great. Get a sharp good blade and you it will work no problem.

I have never tried it personally, but this thing is amazingly sharp and strong. It can cut 250 pages of card stock or 350 regular paper, so I would imagine it must cut stickers

You could very lightly cut but I still wouldn't recommend it. If you want a nice lightweight cutting board, I highly recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00453OMYI/ref=oh_details_o01_s03_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I highly doubt it, but if so it would take a long time to do so. But in defense of the saw, such cuts are not the intended purpose of this saw. This saw is intended for smaller cuts in tight spaces where boards need to be cut flush. For the cuts you are doing you should use either a table saw or a circular saw. Preferably the table saw.

Yes...if you are careful to keep the material flat on a backer board. And remember this cutter is to be used only on a drill press. I have used these cutters to cut instrument holes in .090 aluminium.

Yes. You can use this cutter to create puzzles. You'll have to either find and purchase a puzzle file or have patience and create your own. It will cut through chipboard (light weight) with a few passes without issue.

Yes. I don't think this will be the right tool. It only cuts in circles and is hard to cut where it breaks evenly.

I'm pretty sure it would; however depending on how much cardboard, it may dull the blade. You might want to get one or two extra blades when you order the cutter. I used it to cut through two layers of polartech fleece and it was great! Hope this helps.

The opening for the punch is only large enough to fit three pieces of medium cardstock (90#). I imagine that 'medium' chipboard is thicker than that, so I don't think so either.

Might be tough with regular scissors, but should be OK with something heavier, or perhaps pre-scored with a box cutter

I would say no as you would not be able to get the blade underneath the board. It cuts like scissors.

yes and you will not be disappointed ! I suggest you take a model with the small notch at the base for the big cut.

What I can tell you is that its a very strong tool. You can punch through chipboard. Although I have never done 5 sheets I would think it could handle it just fine. Give it a try and if you don't like it send it back. I love my Crop-a Dile.
