can you cut mat board with this?

Probably but message the manufacterer. You would surely meed to replace the blade.

I don't really know for sure. But I think you can cut it. It's not very thick. Quite flexible. You are able to bend it. However I don't think you can cut it with kitchen or regular scissors. Some tool that cuts harder materials would be able to do it.

I don't see why that wouldn't be possible, but not sure what you would use to cut it. It seems pretty durable.

I would be inclined to say no, but I haven't tried to cut sheetrock. It might have the power to do it, but I am not sure which bit you would use.

It would do the hardibacker board. But to cut through the tile you would need something to cut through tile like a tile bit.

I have tried and it can be done. But be ready to go through a few tiles though. I would recommend a wet saw for small cuts.

Yes. I use it for armour builds and have had no trouble cutting the thicker interlock mats. The blade is fully adjustable.

No. The blade is exposed only about 1/8". It cuts a great circle on the foam board, just not all the way through.

Sure you can cut it. I used a little hand saw with a fine tooth blade and it worked fine (takes a little while to cut through the top edge where the round part is).

yes, use a sharp blade. I did trim one to use as part of a collage, but if you want to use the mat as intended (on a desk) it would be best to order a size that closes fits your dest, as the edges of the mat, if cut, could present a hazard.

I don't think you are supposed to cut them....I read that if the mat gets cut accidently, you shouldn't use it any more..not sure why

The material that this mat is made from is a foam-type material and can be cut and still be workable. It does have a decorative rim a few inches from the edge, but cutting this will not make the mat fray or where it could not be used.

yeah I'm sure you could cut it with a good jigsaw, fine tooth wood cutting blade. I just used wood drill bits to put holes in it. You might want to do a little at a time, so that the blade doesn't heat up and melt the cutting board. It also could make it a little flimsy, I think. depending on the hole size. Cool idear.

No, it would not be easy to rip or tear these mats, it is possible to cut through them with a sharp knife, however. I have one which I use for craft work and painting, and love it. In my work, I don't do anything that would cause me to rip or tear it.

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.

I own a 440-1, and if you mean 3/16 foam core - yes, the mat knife will allow you to cut this type of mounting board to size with a perpendicular cut. Just in case, I've never tried to do a bevel cut into mounting board, but I have a feeling that's not what you want to do. Make sure not to over-tighten the screw on the mat knife, I learned the hard way. Have a good one!

The bar that the blade travels on floats above the material that is to be cut. The clearance allows for material up to 1/16" to slide under it. It would be possible to slide mat board no thicker than 1/16" under the guide However the blade cuts at a right angle to the surface not like cut mat for photo mounting. I am doubtful that the blade would cut mat board very well either. I have used other devices for cutting the bevel edge required for photo mounting but was never satisfied with the results.
