Has anyone used this to die cut tougher material like leather or chipboard?

I haven't tried it through those materials, but I have tried it through 3 layers of cardstock.....I used my Cuttlebug and ran it through 3 times (just back and forth actually) and it cut beautifully. Chipboard and leather might be a little too thick for a framelit, but it would interesting to try.

I would say yes. I have cut the 2-ply chip board with it and that was what I bought it for and it has done well.

It would be hard to use this on leather. This is more for paper. They sell leather punches on Amazon. (I bought one)

Yes, I have used mine to cut heavier material. I use the Dremel 1 1/2in metal cut-off wheel.

I would be inclined to say no, but I haven't tried to cut sheetrock. It might have the power to do it, but I am not sure which bit you would use.

I never tried leather. The dies dull from aluminum, so I'm thinking leather would eventually wear them down. This is a good hobby tool, not really for production. Well worth the price, but don't expect too much.

Yes I have used it many times only had to cut a small piece off cause someone left a shoe mark but I use it over and over :)

Yes, I have used it to cut "cards" that I have laminated. Apparently it will cut anything scissors will cut...and much easier and better.

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

Yes, this device will more than handle any cut through wood. For a tougher metal cut however you may need to put a high speed steel or carbide bit into it. Different style cutting tools will be needed for the various cuts you're talking about. I would recommend eye/ face protection; this product it's very powerful.

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.

I have not used this on leather; however, I think 1/8" thick piece might be at the limits as the edge of the blade as it lies perpendicular is maybe a 32nd over an eighth of an inch. I hope this helps.

yes, I have. Just go a bit slower. I still prefer a table saw for fine work and use this saw for jobs i can not bring to the saw.

I have only used this saw to cut conventional ceramic tile. It was fine for that..................have you tried score and snap, as you would cut window glass?

Hi, I would imagine so. I've used this excellent punch on all kinds of material especially fairly thick leather. Thanks, Bill

I have used mine to dig up plants, big rocks and just this weekend tore down a sidewalk made of bricks, edge is still sharp. With its weight and length I imagine using a big file, while the tool is resting on a workbench will be best.

I used it on a 1/2" thick MDO plywood. By the end of the cut, the friction heat build up was considerable. I think the problem would get worse if the material was thicker or harder. I would estimate for soft woods, up to 1" thick is the limit. Be sure to reverse the work piece and start from the other side when about half way through in order to get a clean cut on the reverse side. I initially used a Makita battery powered drill and I think it was too much for the drill. It went much easier with a heavy duty corded drill.
