How well do these cut thru standard corrugated cardboard?

I have not used them for that. We use them on oak tag which is a heavy card stock.

I have just trimmed a piece of cardboard to the right size and used for additional dividers. I think Home Depot sells sheet plastic but thought it would be difficult to cut to size, so I used cardboard instead.

there will be no problem. You probably will have to cut them. They are standard.

Yes, it will cut through, as long as you take into account: 1) You have to have the hand strength to compress the punch to cut through a thicker material. If you can't squeeze the punch hard enough, the blades can't do the work. 2) The blades will be initially sharp enough, but will dull a tiny bit with each use. To sharpen the blades, cut through a very fine sandpaper a few times. You will feel the difference. 3) If the contact paper has a sticky adhesive, it will get on the blades and you will need to stop and clean them. You could try one of the label removing solvents, like Glue Gone, on a cotton ball or rag.

I would say yes, given what the blade is and the ease of use of the handle, but I can't say that from experience. (I mostly use it for cutting tape on shipping packages, as well as the cardboard itself.)

The blades is definitely sharp to cut cardboard And not really a strain for the type of work I do with them

It cuts very well. We use it for the heay brown paper that you wrap postal boxes in.

In response to your question, I took a heavy cardboard box that had been used to ship produce and tried to cut it. I cut the cardboard into several pieces and it cut smoothly but with a slight resistance (a little more force than with plain paper). Accordingly, within the dimensions of the cutting board and guard, you should have no problems.

yeah it should but its tough to cut with out wasting or over cutting . or when u want to cut in without touching the outside of the cardboard

I used some corrugated plastic signs that I found as well as cardboard boxes that I cut. Also the company I buy targets from provides cardboard from the shipping every time.

Definitely will go through cardboard. Fill the box with folded newspaper or magazines then test to make sure it does not pass completely through. This is a powerful BB gun not an air soft.

I think it would be a challenge to cut through laminated cardboard, but no prblem with laminated paper.

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're quite thin and flexible, but still sturdy enough. They can be 'creased' along an edge and they will retain that crease. To cut them, you should score them first with an xacto knife, then crease along that score and they'll snap into to pieces.

I've found its' limit to be about 10 pages of regular weight paper.I will do a couple of pieces of heavy oaktag paper (I often punch the slash folders for the back cover of book).What is the thickness of the item you want to cut and how heavy is it as compared to cardboard?

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.

these are hard plastic and not sure they will cut cleanly. maybe you need to go to the conventional wood shims.
