it has don an awesome job on every kind of fabric I have ever worked with and have cut many seat covers made from 1000 denier cordura but for best result make sure you have a good cutting backer the self healing type fiskers makes several sizes of cutting boards to work with the cutting wheels

Latex breaks down when sterilizing with heat. I believe the recommendation is to only sterilize before the first use.

Oh yes the material is very easy to work with. Regular scissors will do the job.

I use it for padding the sharper edges on the wheelchairs and counters. It's pretty thick for skin use, and not sure about latex issue.

If you have a lot of area to cut it is a lot faster. If you are not used to cutting curves this takes the work out of it. If you use the stencil cutter it works best if you have a temperature controller like you would use with a solder iron. If you let the cutter get too hot you can have lots of plastic strings. Medium temperature, medium speed and you will be very pleased.

I used scissors to cut with no problem, I am certain xacto for any intricate cut will be fine too. Good luck!

I would say most definitely. The rotary cutter is sharp and the mat is self healing. Other mats would have slices in them from the rotary cutter. You can use the rotary cutter to cut out patterns instead of scissors. I wouldn't attempt using any other cutting mat.

It's pretty easy to use with fabrics. The main thing is getting it adhered well to the cutting sheet and adjusting the pressure of the cutting blade. They have a extra sticky backing which I bought, but I find the regular adhesive sheet that came with it works well. The extra sticky sheet was too sticky and distorted my light weight fabrics when I tried to pull them off. I use light cottons for appliqu work and it works well cutting easily and accurately. There are good guidelines in the instructions for cutting different items such as different weights of paper and fabrics. Expensive product but I use it often and would definitely buy it again.

Sorry, I couldn't say. I use this for styrene plastic, although I do cut up to .04 In thick sheets with it (it does take a mighty whack to get through). The one thing I do notice, if you do not cut through the stock with a single hit, the circle's edges will be irregular and uneven. Hope this helps.

Yes. It works very well but the cut of the ribbon is very important so it doesn't fray/unravel upon removal from the backing paper. I like to use my pinking shears or an angular cut.

I don't think that would be a good idea. The textile is light weight, woven and nylon or polymer-based. It's thicker than rip-stop nylon tarps are but it's loose knit would almost certainly result in fraying if cut. Unless of course you're good with an industrial sewing machine? The bound edges are heavy duty to resist the tensioning. You would have to replicate this if you were to cut it. I'd recommend just buying the smaller versions which are also available at your local home supply.

I use for cutting out appliqued fabric pieces with paper backing attached. Have not cut individual paper with it. I do believe it would work.

Hi Debra: I have used this tool to cut out graphics printed on matte photo paper and it does just fine. No worries.

It cuts close to the fabric. There aren't dangling threads left. I think it does a great job, and I use it all the time.

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....

I would buy a cutter designed for those harder than "Normal" types of wire you are needing to cut. Basically the cutters are intended for softer materials... Cutting a coat hanger is enough to nick the blades... The part you want will come from EREM and will cost considerably more than these cutters do. The pair I bought are good grade professional assembly / production cutters that I've used for a year now in more of a hobby type of use and I'd dearly miss them although these are what I'd have purchased for any of my past assembly personnel. They are very similar if not exactly like the Hunter line of tools that I used in 20 years of assembly supervision..RK Johnson Sr I would buy a cutter designed for those harder than "Normal" types of wire you are needing to cut.

I have did not had a lot of success with it. I use heavier fabrics such as burlap, canvas & terry cloth. Have not used on lighter fabrics so not real sure of results on that type of fabric. I resorted to slowing down & keeping my scissors sharp!
