What would you suggest to use for cutting?

google it...I think you use a knife or blade with a level as a straight line

I agree with Big Tex. Aluminum, copper and maybe brass you probably could use the same wood cutting blade with a slow feed, with steel you would want a finer tooth (I think the rule is min 3 teeth in the cut at all times.) I've cut aluminum without any problem, haven't tried steel.

i have used this on everything and have had had many ways i had to cut . the head turns 360 degrees so you should be able to get what you need out of it

If you wanna cut a tree down, use an axe.If you wanna test your sword's (and your own) cutting ability, use cutting mats or bamboo. Or if you're cheap, get some large pieces of cardboard from your nearby recycling center.

I have used a cricket cutter and the eclips, I like the eclips better. I have a friend who uses a cameo I occasionally cut items for her.

I used the same electric knife that I used for cutting up the turkey last month. start with an exacto knife for the first incision.

The way it works is you can cut it to any size smaller than the length it comes in. A saw would be ideal but I used an old serrated knife that I didn't need so didnt care about making it dull. For what it is it does the job!

General case, a metal cutting blade. Somewhat depends on the access constraints to the cut based on the geometry. If you have a reciprocating saw, you might find a blade such as the Milwaukee "torch" blade of an appropriate length more effective. It will cut heavy metal very quickly.Some tools are more appropriate for tasks than others. In any case, you will have an easier task if the object being cut is firmly fixed (bolted, clamped, etc.) to resist vibration induced by the cutting tool.

Every machine is different, and it depends on what you're cutting. Check out silhouette for beginners on FB they're super helpful.

The battery life is the limiting factor. Prob 25-30 mins, so if you have a lot to cut, it may not be the tool for you.

Get the cutterpillar. The way it's designed it sharpens as it cuts so it never needs replacing. It's VERY pricey and something you'd need a designated cutting station for since it's also very heavy. People who own it swear by it, but I prefer something that I can stow away as I don't want to lose counter space to a trimmer.

I used a very sharp pocket knife , I also used a box cutter with a plain razor blade and they both worked well !! Hope this helps

I would use a unit which has just a single long straight cutter coming out from the handle. Search for Hot Wire Foam Factory Crafters Hot Knife Kit here on Amazon. $35.

Sure. And what works best IMHO is an electric carving knife. Cutting foam with those is the only reason I keep one around.

I would use a chop saw, that would do the trick nicely. I had to drill into mine and used a drill bit with a point on it - worked fine.

If you get a GOOD quality blade for metal and variable power switch you can cut steel. I use mine to cut circular saw blades for knife blanks

Share similar response before: you may wish to use an aluminum cutting tool.
