I want to use this in an art project. What tool can cut this? scissors? xacto? light saber?

I used scissors to cut with no problem, I am certain xacto for any intricate cut will be fine too. Good luck!

It's a thin plastic sheet. It could be cut by pretty much anything. I used an x-acto knife on mine.

Yes, you can use any of those tools, but you may find that the light sabre will warp the edges. What I use id a rotary cutter.see http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=41729&cat;=1,250,43298,43314

It is easily cut with scissors or an exacto knife. I have never used a light saber. I use the filter behind glass or plastic objects to photograph them. I also use a polarizing filter on the camera lens.

Hi Mike. While this sounds like a great idea, I just tried to use it to cut a piece of scrap material. The guide bar doesn't really lift enough to slide material under it unless it's very thin material. If you slide it all the way out of the way and maybe secure the material in place with masking tape, then with the light on you could probably trace and see well enough to trace the outline of a stencil... but probably only if the material is a thin and light colored material. I guess the short answer is it would work, but limited. Great idea though. I shopped around a bit before I bought mine and I don't remember seeing anything else like it in this price range. Good luck!

I use either a wood or bamboo cutting board. You can cut on a pizza stone, but it only dulls the blade quicker

an expensive PROP, but since it's a plastic (?) thin material, I don't see why not---you'll need an open jig saw or something. A knife probably won't do.

Not so good for Dueling, it's definitely a prop/collectors item. You'd want to look into the custom saber builders for ones that can be used for Dueling.

No it's not shape bough to cut it has a nice point. You won't find any sharpened swords on amazon or this Internet really unless you buy from ebay or Craigslist

The short answer is that just about anything you could cut with an XACTO knife. A longer answer is that there are several vinyl and mylar options with or without an adhesive back. I mostly just use transparency film. I have a bunch of it and it works fine.

Plastic... You can find a more realistic double light saber out there. Depends on how much you really want to spend.

I use the Xacto knife to build model airplanes which are made of balsa wood. Balsa is very soft and requires a very sharp blade. Xacto knife sets are made for light hobby work and are also good for precise cutting of paper and thin plastic sheets. For carving knives, which is another term for "whittling" use the Amazon site to find real knives that are suited for this purpose. There are many different blade shapes and qualities available. Cheap blades are just that and won't work well. It will also be necessary to learn how to sharpen these blades with a set of hones made for this purpose as one would with a regular folding pocket knife. I have whittled lots of things with a Buck knife, and Buck is famous for holding an edge, but one must also learn to sharpen... Real whittling is an art form and one must know how to maintain the tools.

A section of old hack saw blade will work well. If necessary one could use a knife if nothing else is available. I prefer not to use my knife in such a way.

Not for sure I bought it for making camp fires but as cheap as they are you can give it a try. I believe a regular pair of scissors would work to cut it

I am sorry I don't know. I use a Cricut, and it has its own type of cutter. There are just standard #2 X-Acto blades. If Cuttlebug uses the #2, then it would probably work.

You can use regular scissors to cut it. Even children's craft scissors will work.

The best way to cut is with heated wire or in the case if circles, a well heated metal tube. Drills work well also for circular cutting, but saws are a no no. Sand paper does not work either.

It's rather thick. It can be cut, but I think you'd need something other than scissors to do it. Good luck!

Use a wire cutter. I use a pair of scissors at first but it left the ends frayed. Wire cutter

I had to cut mine down and used a fine tooth hack saw, which worked perfectly. Start cutting on the rigid side of the plastic, rather than the flimsy extruded side. It will cut like butter, and then just needs some light standing to get the jagged remnants off.
