Can you cut fabrics like silk with it, if so do the edges fray afterward

Dremel does not indicate this tool is appropriate for use with fabrics. The VersaTip multipurpose tools is ideal for wood burning, soldering, hot-knife cutting of Styrofoam™ and plastics, leather products, cutting and fusing rope.

I would not recommend cutting it since it is stitched on the bottom.and side unless you have a sewing machine to stitch it up so it doesn't unravel

Instead of cutting them, I would turn under the ends to get the required length. Fabric might fray otherwise.

It can be cut but it's fiberglass cloth once cut will unravel .. The perimeter has a seam sewn around it to prevent the cloth from unraveling. Hope this helps.

Melt the ends to seal the cut site. I also melt any holes I punch as well. Woven nylon fibers will always fray.

I cut mine in half (with scissors) to fit a toaster oven and bake bread and cookies directly on the wire shelves. The inner fabric, possibly fiberglass cloth, is completely embedded in silicone and there's no hint of fraying after perhaps a hundred uses. Trail lawyers have everyone spooked.... particularly product manufacturers.

While I have not tried to cut synthetic fabrics with this soldering iron, I do not think it would cut synthetic fabrics due to the iron being extremely hot. I believe it would melt synthetic fabrics rather than just cutting them neatly. This item is usually used for melting metals to other metal and in soldering certain computer components together.

Yes you can do that, I used this to remake my sofa and cut it in pieces also , no problem , scissors are not good idea , use something that cut vinyl or carpet , my sofa looks like new again , very nice , it become more firm under the fabric but still soft when you sit on that , highly recommended , the edges will get nice and round after you cover them with fabric

Yes. It takes a good tool or large scissors but then it cuts much like any heavy fabric.

I can't guarantee that it can be cut, but it is made of the same material that is used in most pads. I have trimmed pads from other manufacturers with no fraying.

My husband cut it with a SHARP utility knife. No problems with edges coming undone or fraying. Cut fairly easy for us.

I don't see why not. It's a heavy weight fabric, but could probably be cut easily with a scissors or an Exacto knife. it will probably fray a little, if that's a problem.

Probably. But I would Serge any edges before you begin, and you're going to need a pretty fine needle to not create runs in the weft and warp

There are some very nice electric scissors on the market made expressly for cutting fabric. This tool is meant for cutting such materials as cardboard and a bit heavy handed for use with fabric.

I find that I can cut about 5 sheets of card stock cleanly before the edges start fraying instead of cleaving. I haven't attempted dividing up a sheet with the kind of accuracy you're describing. Sorry.

I have cut through layers of canvas, movers blankets, thick ornamental fabrics. I haven't tried cords or quiltings yet but haven't any doubt that they will do as they should...

it could fray I suppose it's like a cloth version of leather. It's actually very cool stuff but it's hard to call it leather or even leatherette
