Can the surface of this light box withstand an exacto knife cutting and splicing images together such as copied maps or land plots?

Robert, the Light tracer is like sturdy plexiglass. While you could certainly cut on top of it, it would permanently scar/scratch the surface.

Yes, I believe you should be able to do that. Make sure you do it inside a box or in a closed place so no other light source can interfere.

I used my electric carving knife with no problems. The most difficulty is trying to keep the knife parallel or perpendicular to the foam.

Yes! I've done this myself after modeling it on WinISD and also after the design of the box built by Lifeafterbass. It sounds much, much better than all the prebuilt boxes I've tried. You'll need a tablesaw or jigsaw, clamps, drill, titebond glue, screws, spray on glue, carpeting, and sandpaper. If you get MDF cut at home depot, for example, you won't need the tablesaw or jigsaw-just make sure you have your exact dimensions! All in all I believe it is very much worth doing if you have any woodworking skills and can save you a good deal of cash.

Yes and yet it also depends on your jewelry, I make copper jewelry and have to be careful of where the lightsare placed due to glare from the lights. You can play with the lights and how you place your items in the box

I'm assuming you mean if someone puts them together that would create scene like the pieces of a puzzle. I didn't attempt to do that. I only bought 2 different panels and my lights fixtures are not so close that I need that illusion. That is a good question for the seller.

There is a strong plexiglass cover which is secured with a pin. It won't be easy to break it, but possible.

Technically yes; reliably, no. This is a stack cutter. I bought a cheap Xacto craft cutter for cutting one or two sheets, photos etc.

it would clip on, but the amount of light will be more like a pinpoint and not sufficient to illuminate a picture.

The Apollo is designed to have the flash head pointing to the back of the reflective backing and bounced out. I think you would lose too much light using this in that fashion. I don't think it would be deep enough to get a good spread with the light facing forward. So I would not recommend this soft box for that use.

My concern would be the edges of the prism ruining the duffel bag.http://roneibschutz.com/

Mine came in a sturdy box, which I use to store it in my home. I do not travel with it..so I can not advice on transporting it. It is not a heavy item, but the length makes it ackward. The precision in cutting corners is amazing. No over cutting. The matting is very attractive after it has been cut.

Its solid marble, you would ruin your knifes, besides scratch the beautiful surface. Get a cutting board.

Can't. I printed a round label to cover the light. You can use you favorite image. Trim as needed.

I love this light pad... however it's not a cutting surface material. I use another piece of glass on the top if I need to utilize it thatway. Plenty of light goes through. Hope this helps.

Yes & no , where I would imagine, you could limit the the depth of cut, I don't think it would be practical or accurate. Where there is a will there is away.

In rhe middle there is a large passthru for the computer area there is some perferations in the cardboard panels....cuts with a utility knife easily. I have cut both upper side shelve areas as well for other devices.
