How does the vinyl go into cutter? Does it take roll vinyl to get 8 ft cuts?

Yes it does just make sure the rolls are 12" in width and have a way or spindle for easy feeding from the back I believe US cutter has something for it.

The vinyl is tough but whether or not it will not be ripped by sharp claws is something I can't answer. There is a steel mesh and vinyl covered netting available from Howard Wire Cloth, Hayward, CA. That will certainly do the job - but it's expensive. http://www.howardwire.com/

It is a long roll, several feet long by about 3 or 4 inches wide. You cut it to the size you need. This is the only thing that worked to fix a tear in my vinyl convertible top.

I don't have any experience with cutting vinyl siding with this saw, but I would say, after cutting wood with it (one handed, by the way), it should do the job. I can't say what kind of edge it would leave, but I think it would be better than that of a regular circular saw, as the "teeth" are actually adhered silicate(?) particles. I see no problem with one-handed operation, but it it is not quite as easy as with a regular hand saw. The saw is essentially a large Dremel tool. Note well - use the vacuum attachment if possible or work in a open space, as this saw really produces dust. Hope I have helped with your decision. I would buy this saw again. For the reconditioned price, it's a steal.

Hi, Curt--picking up from below--I got about11 yards in length, so you would probably need more than one double roll for your project. . Hope this helps. catbirdz

Hi Luanne;The long white bar with the circle on the end go over the things sticking up in front of the rollers. Pull plactic wrap over top of the bar. After you get as much wrap as you want, push down fast on the top and it will cut the wrap. I hope this helps.Bob

You defenitely can! I bought the tool for the same reason and it can through vinyls easily

This cutter will cut through record jackets. It is very sharp and performs with ease. You will love it.

No, the item goes in, then through the laminator and then you can cut it to your liking. Sometimes I put several things in one sheet but, you have to be rather careful.

I just bought the machine this weekend and tried cutting the vinyl and it works but I had used some masking tape to hold it down to the cutting mat

No wories, it will be longer than that so you can cut/trim it to your desired length. Mine was cut to 8 inches.

yes it will cut a 12 inch piece of paper without any problems. It will not cut anything longer as the cutting blades are no longer than 12 inches. I did not try to cut anything heavier than two pieces of 20 weight georgia pacific copy paper. So I cannot vouch for this cutter on multiple sheets (more than 6). Mother uses it and she said it will cut single sheets of very thin plastics, vinyls, and construction paper just fine. Hope this helps..

Not in my experience. Even when cutting the 8-foot lengths into smaller pieces, the tape remains intact at the cut edge.

I used a similar cutter on cardboard and foam core for art class. Draw guides lines AND use a ruler to guide the blade, make sure you have something flat and solid under your work surface [I used another sheet of cardboard] press firmly and roll rather slowly. It was the BEST way to cut all the design panels I needed [especially compared to scissors and evil evil box cutters!] However, it will dull the blade quickly.

yup it sure does! No more tearing the wrap from the roll. Just press and it cuts. Worth every penny and I think it saves on wrap too

Awesome ! Remember, it's what we call a "pull saw", so mark your pipe and gently pull the saw to you until it bites the PVC. After that (when you've got a groove) you can cut normally. The Shark saw is the best saw I've ever owned. I own 2 different styles and they both work great. Hope this helps, because it's an excellent product!

Made to cut sheet metal. The vinyl could clog the cutter, try using regular wire cutters for best results.
