Any tips for how to cut these evenly? I'm doing my best by just going slow. Can it be cut "too thin?"

they're only being cut too thin if half of the picture is gone. you can never really cut these ¨too thin¨, but it's obviously possible to cut them too thick. I used an exacto-knife. It took a little while to get used to, but if you cut these on a cutting board in a downward pressing motion you can really get into the rhythm and cut them quicker.

Actually the thinner the better for your nails, mine were crooked too but they turned out OK, I even put half ones on my thumbs. I used a straight edge razor blade to cut mine

I use a plain razor blade and a lighter to heat it up. The heated blade cuts thin clean slices.

I myself didn't like them. That being said you can not cut them to thin as long as you get the whole decoration in it. They need to be thin as you can get them. Just go slowly

These would not be easy to trim. Good new is they are clear in the event they show. But they are a bit thick and that would be very hard to cut.

We used a box cutter with the same results. It is the way the foam was compressed that causes it to flake slightly when cut. You might find a white tape that can be adhered to the edge for a smoother look.

I got thin slices also, my husband got thicker ones. He says you need to put more pressure pushing down as you are turning it. Good luck! Sabrina

I had to cut mine down and used a fine tooth hack saw, which worked perfectly. Start cutting on the rigid side of the plastic, rather than the flimsy extruded side. It will cut like butter, and then just needs some light standing to get the jagged remnants off.

Use a wire cutter. I use a pair of scissors at first but it left the ends frayed. Wire cutter

I cut them with a scissors then used a razor knife to trim them flat. Be careful a did cut myself doing this. My daughter thinks you could use an emery board.

Good afternoon, we have had some people in the past do this, and had great succses, however, if you were to do this, we would not be able to take any return. They are solid core, so if you chose to cut them, it SHOULD work. Thanks, Aaron

Patti... I have never cut steel any thicker than 1/2 inch. Cutting tip works well for this. ~~don ~~

Try adjusting your blade or asking a local groomer. Mine cut, but they are very slow. I switch back and forth between human clippers and these. For me I use them for in between grooming

I have the same problem. However, I think it also depends on the hair texture. The silkier they are, the worse the blade can handle. I will get a shorter blade next time.

We cut them with a very sharp box cutter. We needed some 4x4 and some 2x2, so we bought the 4x4 and cut them down, not very easy even with a sharp cutter.

I would not cut them, however, these liners could be cut. They are perfect, as is, and you would need some really sharp shears and hold it down for a straight line, but you would end up with a very sharp unfinished edge.

Haven't had a need to cut them. Try calling the manufacturer's customer service department at 877-595-2040.

I agree with Steve and I too am no expert, but also, try taking just 1/32 per pass and make sure the grain is going in the right direction. If it's not, it will be harder to do and the finish will be poor. Try not to put too much downward pressure on top of the blade, concentrate more on the outfeed table. There's good info on the web on how to use the jointer, and it takes a little practice. Good luck!

Hi! Yes I found that out too when I got it!! Just pull one of the blades out toward u like the round end of the blade. Do it slowly.
