can you cut thick chipboard with the accucut dies in this machine?

The Sizzix Pro machine can cut thick chip board and some rolled metal sheets from what I understand. The answer, though, depends on the Accucut dies you use. The "slim" obviously don't cut thick products. To learn more about the Accucut dies, go to: http://www.accucut.com and feel free to contact their customer service people with product questions! Best wishes with your projects!

If you have the newest Multi Platform, you won't likely need this, but it's trial and error with some of the very intricate dies. I find using one of the metal shims with wax paper.

any saw of this sort is hard to get perfectly straight cuts the blade you use will depend on how chipfree the cut will be altho it comes with a plastic plate that mounts close to the blade to help eliminate chips

I would say no as you would not be able to get the blade underneath the board. It cuts like scissors.

You can get approximately a 6" thick piece under the chisel, however the chisel would not cut to that depth. Rarely would I deal with stock as thick. I wish it had a greater back stop travel. If you want to cut deep into the width of a board you have to reconfigure the whole tool.

Probably, but its not a high torque machine and so it would be hard on it. I personally would not use my $700 saw this way. Not to mention the melted steel that would stick to the saw and damage the table for precision wood cutting.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't. Most of Sizzix dies are compatible with other machines and vice versa. Just have to make sure your cutting plates are tight, but not too tight.

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very muchlower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the workwithout forcing the cut.

It cuts using a rotary wheel and not a razor blade. Chipboard is too thick.

I don't think so. I have the Tim Holtz die cutting machine. I also have a hand crank machine that cannot handle the big dies. I hope this helps.

I would say yes. I have cut the 2-ply chip board with it and that was what I bought it for and it has done well.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. I got it for chipboard but the chipboard I bought was too thick.

I've never heard of anyone doing that before but I don't know why it can't be done. It has the big center blade that could probably do that. But I am not for sure. Maybe you could write directly to the company and see what they say. I only had experience with the shredding and slicing blades, which I would NOT recommend. But some people don't care if it doesn't cut all that great. It is a very powerful machine, so I would imagine it could do the job. I hope that helps. Good luck.

Is not easy, sorry, including a lineal cut is hard. The saw don't cut with precision.

Yes, you can. It is as thick as cardstock, yet still pliable enough for intricate projects.

I've never tried this. I have a dado set for that. But I imagine it would work if you needed a wider finger joint than 3/8". The diameter of the chipper would have to be exactly the same as the blades.

I have not used for for chipboard, but it certainly should be up to the task ! this is the best paper trimmer I have used !!
