Anyone use this while cutting up? How did you work for you overall while cutting? Thanks

This mainly helps fight muscle fatigue. But I don't see why you couldn't use it for cutting, I've never cut though forever bulking.

I think cutting it is best! That's why I do. I then just wrap it back up in the Saran Wrap so it stays nice and soft :)

I haven't noticed a problem while cutting, but if I don't leave it upright the oil drains out. (Slowly, over a week.) I can't complain, however; my two gas saws throw oil everywhere, so I end up using less oil with the Makita.

We didn't cut it and used it full length as to make a nice cut, the home-use scissors or cutter may not do the best job. If you don't bother with the finishing of the cut, both scissors and cutter should work.

I have done test rip cuts in 4/4 maple and it works well, not sure if this is beyond the design. Mostly using the saw for various cross cuts (trimming plugs, end pieces) on maple and walnut. Even tried it out on bubinga and it cuts well if you go slowly. Love the canvas cover.

mine did not always spring back immediately after a cut, had to be careful not to get hit by the handle when it did come back up. Machine itself did a great job for me, 1500sf of flooring, saved major time and energy. Kept it nearby, clean cuts w/o saw dust !

I was able to cut mine. I just made sure that my utility knife had a brand new blade in it. I put it on something that I did not mind being cut up so I could push the knife blade all the through with one swoop, rather than having to take many slices at it. You could try your scissors as well, but first try short of the line to see how it is going to work. Those should also be really sharp. Another thing you could do is take it into your local carpet place, offer them 10 bucks for a 5 minute job, and they might not even take your money. Hope this has been helpful!

Very pleased with the cutting. Unless you get it stuck in the wood when cutting, it continues to hold the tension. Very tight when cutting.

It has happened, the remedy for me is to twist the blade in the unfinished cut. Sometime I don,t open the blade completely and it will not ratchet for me. This is a tool that does not work properly unless you coax it. I personally would not buy from the maker in the future. Great idea, poor design (my opinion)

I've had my cutter since late January and I use it for making cards so far its done vey well! I have also used it to cut chip board and it's still a very clean cut! I hope this helps you in your decision !

I used a razor blade and serrated knife. I had someone hold it while I cut.

I found keeping the blade straight and standing back from the tree (instead of right underneath) best for cutting. You pull the blade towards you to cut, lift the blade place it on the branch and pull towards you lift blade and place it into the cut and repeat till cut off.

I haven't had that problem. I use an electric carving knife. But it's hard plastic so just like a plastic or wood cutting board it will get cuts over time. Not like it will effect your cutting though.

I was doing similar cutting and found out to get the best cut I had to blow across the blade opening after 3 cuts. It seemed to get clogged with almost invisabe pieces of paper. I was using a new blade. Oncertainly I was done with all the fussy cutting blade works fine. Been told that a blade last 3 - 6 months with normal cutting. I had used a previous blade for Six months.

No problem at all for me. I love it, it has cut everything that I have tried. I even bought another one for our lake house.

Hmm..., mine cuts pretty low and gives a clean cut. Sounds like urs is on a higher setting. Did u look at how to lower the blade in the manual? My lawn looks like a golf course.

I have only used it by holding the trigger on. I think this is a safety feature and I would doubt that you could set it to stay cutting without your finger on the trigger. Nothing was said in the instructions about using the trimmer without your finger on the trigger.
