How well does this cut a heavy butcher paper weight? (I want to use to cut blank stock wallpaper and I think a heavy butcher paper similar weight)

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

Like a champ. We've had ours for a couple years. And love it as much as we did the day we got it. You just pull the paper up as you would like Tin foil or Saran Wrap. Course what ever you're cutting would need to be on a roll inside the.........system itself. I hope this helps.

It probably could cut maybe 5 sheets, though as listed it cuts large amounts of paper. I would say anything below 10 sheets your better off with a rotary cutter or scissors. The handle applies a massive amount of pressure and my guess is its possible that the small amount of paper could shift or crush ending up with a cut a little off. I'm sure it would be up to it new, though if you did this daily the knife would dull a little probably giving you problems. It shears bulk paper with massive force and a sharp blade.

I have used card stock as pamphlet covers and this machine cleanly punches. Today, I tested four sheets of cardstock. The machine punched through all four sheets cleanly and smoothly, without any extra effort. I have never used cardstock heavier than the usual 65 paperweight. Hope this helps. Thanks.

I'd say yes, if you register the paper carefully and hold down on the bar and don't have too many layers to cut. It's sharp and accurate. Very precise. An eighth of an inch? I suppose.... I got this for my son, for origami and it was really a great and fine tool. it would also be good for making paper chains, for Christmas, that sort of thing. You can get new roller blades too if you wear one out. I guess I'd say you won't have a problem, it's a very good product, very Euro design....

It most definitely won't cut a 2mm. soft wood. It's a good & precise tool, but only for light duty use. - It will handle business card thickness cardstock, but nothing more. - I have since obtained a Zutter Round-it-All Heavy Duty Corner Rounder to cut the 1/32" card I use. The cut isn't as clean as I would like, but it beats doing it by hand with scissors. Martha Stewart makes an inexpensive heavy-duty corner rounder that I would like to try, but they don't say what the radius of the cut is. (I require a 1/8" radius, equivalent to a 1/4" diameter.) If you search corner rounder on eBay, you will see many varieties from light duty to heavy duty table mounted ones. It most definitely won't cut a 2mm. soft wood.

I have no scientific data for you, but I would deem this a "light duty" cutter. I've cut a couple of sheets worth at a time, but the more you add, the more I would expect pages to 'drift' and not be cut accurately. I'd recommend no more that 1-3 sheets at most. If you need to do a lot of mass cutting, I'd pass on this and go with something more substantial.

I just got this. I have cut magazines up to 0.5 inches thick. I bought it to digitize my magazine collection. I haven't tried to cut any thick types of paper.

I haven't tried cutting large multiples of paper with mine yet, but on a single sheet basis it has worked just fine both on thicker brochure type paper, glossy photo paper and regular copy paper.

Another thing to remember is that it "snaps" the material, when the blade presses down. There is no sawing motion as such, just simple pressure force on the blade. Be sure to draw your cut lines clearly so you can see them, and perhaps even pre-cut using a straight edge and carpet knife or other tool proper to the material. It works wonders, and if someone is putting in flooring it is a dream to use. It is easiest to use by "standing" on the material, but it will also work cutting board style as well on a table.

It wasn't even enough to cut heavy cardstock--- it definitely won't cut chipboard. For chipboard, you'll want an old-school guillotine style paper cutter or, if you must have a rotary, you could try the Dahle professional rotary trimmer.

It very well weighted & will cut through thick brush as well as small branches. I have had no issues with it. In fact my neighbor used it to cut a small sapling & he likes the sharpness & ease of using it.

Great for card making. If you cut using the Cricut, make sure you set it for heavy cardstock and at least 2 cuts.

The blades are pretty sharp, and I am able to cut 2-3 pieces of card stock at once. I'm guessing it should cut felt with no problem.

After receiving this request from Amazon to answer your question, I used it to cut a laminated sheet of paper. It worked flawlessly. No issues what so ever.

I am not sure that this will do the job you are hoping to do...I have heard of the foam knifes being used to cut stamps, but the ones I have heard of doing so are hot knifes. This cuts foam board well because it has the blade for the paper and the heat for the foam. I think you need more heat than what this will give you.

Mine works very well on 1-4 sheets of regular 20 or 24# bond (copy paper). After that the cut isn't precise and the edges aren't crisp. I don't imaging it would cut poster board at all. Good Luck.

I have not cut anything but paper and cardboard. However, I found that the cutting edges on the punches are not accurately sharpened and that may cause some difficulty with the materials you mention. As needed, I sharpen mine by chucking in a drill press and honing the edges with a stone. I'm pretty sure they would cut wool and felt after sharpening provided a good backing surface is provided. I use a piece of oak planking.
