I would say that depends on the type of plastic ? yes for HDPE ! yes for PVC, yes for PE .For fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) ????

I would say yes. This plastic should be fairly easy to modify by cutting out an area for something to pass through. Just be sure to give it enough cut-out room so that it didoes not wear on and eventually cut through whatever you are putting through it.

I don't think so. I would not cut anything harder than copper. I would use a cheap angle grinder with a metal wheel or a reciprocating saw. It does cut wood, plastic, etc. nicely though.

Cutting any kind of plastic is no problem, I cut wood and have cut copper to shape a serpents head. The blades are good for everything I do.

I cut mine with scissors. It is solid plastic but still a little flexible and not really thick. A utility knife should work, too.

Its pretty flexible but I don't know for sure...maybe too hard for regular scissors ....but with plastic cutting tool definitely yes.

This product can be cut, but you must seal the edges or it will fall apart. You can seal the edges using a lighter. Burning the plastic. Simple to do.

I used scissors and they worked fine :) the plastic is thick but cuts pretty easily.

I doubt it. This cutter works well on paper but has trouble with plastic packaging. Another problem is that replacement blades are not available.

I've used it on all types of wood, hard and soft. It cuts great. It would depend on the thickness and type of plastic you want to cut.I don't think it would be good on all plastic, you would need a finer point saw for some.

I wouldn't recommend using it on plastic - It's a heating tool, after all, and when plastic burns it can release toxic fumes.I'm /doubt/ it exists but if you can find a plastic that says it's safe to burn then I'm certain the hot knife could do the job nicely - Otherwise, I'd recommend getting a knife made for precise cutting, like X-acto knives and whatnot.

You could cut it to whatever dimensions suit you. Just use a good heavy duty pair of scissors or a straight edge and razor knife. It's only plastic so it's easy.

Sorry but i would need further explanation of the type of plastic you are cutting and the thickness and i will answer to the best of my ability Brand of the plastic and type would be helpful. Steve

Yes. Should be good enough to drill through most plastics, with the right drill bit.

No, you can try to cut it, but that will cause it to come apart in your pool and the plastic will clog your filter.

The hot wire cutter will cut through every form of plastic I have thrown at it. It definitely will take care of polyurethane without a problem.

i would not suggest that. you could crack the plastic or even distort the cutting blades. my guess is that the blades are tempered.
