Can it cut through felt for say ukulele picks?

I do not know. I have not given it to my son yet.. It is for his birthday next month... However since it can cut through plastic I would guess that it would work on felt.

I used this on some heavy duty plastic with no effort so I think that it would punch through felt just fine.

We don't have proper felt to give it a try, but if you go to pickpunch.com there is a Contact link at the top of the page where you can find their email and phone number, so you might be able to inquire of them about it.

It would work great for that. I bought mine to ream out the friction peg holes in the headstock of a ukulele. I used violin pegs to replace the missing or old worn out pegs.

They are quite sharp, so I think they would work for thinner fabrics. I know they could cut through a standard thickness wool felt, but fleece might be too thick. They are definitely not as sharp as sewing scissors.

Guitar picks are generally harder, because soft picks would be ruined by the steel strings, while most uke picks I've seen have been made of felt or softer, thinner material as to not damage the softer nylon strings.

I would think you could cut through it with some very sturdy scissors or even a small saw. It's not too tough-- just thick. And wonderful!

I've tried cutting through foam sheets and haven't had much luck at all. You can punch through 2 pieces of cardstock (the lightest kind) or 2 to 3 pieces of construction paper.

It is possible but it would take a great deal of force as felt is very shock absorbent. We are currently cutting through standard gasket material which are about a 16th of an inch thick but we are also using it on 1/4 cork gasket material. These materials cut very well but the thicker you go the more difficult it will be.

The die does cut felt. I use a metal plate when cutting felt. The size is 0.5 inches. It is less that 1/2 inch but very cute and looks great on cards and scrapebook pages.

Yes, you could. It's thick enough. The only thing is you would need to use an exacto knife or other blade to get a a good cut, since scissors don't work well (it will crumble on the ends.)

Well, I just happened to have my punch and some scrap felt here, so I tried it. The answer is no, it will not go through felt at all. The felt lodged up in the punch and it took me nearly five minutes to rip it all out. I thought I'd broken the punch for a minute there.

I haven't tried it but if you get the product Terial Magic and use that to stiffen the fabric before cutting, it should work. I've been using that stiffener for felt and cotton and it works great.

I don't think so, although the tool works well in my use of it I always seem to get a bit of tear out. I don't make guitars but I don't think any tear out would be acceptable.

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.

Simple answer ... yes. Designed primarily for the nylon strings of the ukulele

Yes, I believe it can be cut. It is a foam with beads with each grain. Cutting it should not hurt it.

I am not positive that it would not tear felt wool, if I was you I would try a piece and check it out. But for me, I only have used the hole punch on leather only. It is a steady product and probably would work, but not sure for lack of experience with felt.

The felt insert sits inside a rigid lucite form. I guess it would be possible to remove the felt piece and cut it. However, the beauty of these items is their stackability. I love being able to move two layers of these units within the drawer. I used two sizes to get the units to cover most of the drawer.
