Will this cut cardboard boxes?

It has more than enough power. Really depends on how thick the cardboard is. If it's 1/8 or more it will most likely jam.

I don't think it would cut very well. It has a magnetic strip on the inside that is glued on so you would have to cut through that. The other material is a very hard plastic that might splinter

It easily punches through cardboard, I'm not sure if it would tear lighter weight paper. It is a heavy tool and a little clumsy to use on cardboard. It is better for metals, I use it on coins and metal stampings for jewelry making. I love this tool!

I just cut my corners at a 45 degree angle I used a box cutter but you have to make a few cuts before you cut all the way through also cut on something hard not cardboard you'll get a cleaner cut after I cut the first corner I used it to mark the other corners it helps.i hope this helps you out some.

Yes, the paper clamp is see-through -- so you can cut to a pencil line or whatever. And I have not cut laminate, but have cut cardboard successfully. I do not think corrugated cardboard would work, through. I expect that 5mm laminate would be fine; the blade is quite sharp. The paper clamp can be removed for cleaning.

Would it cut cut the cardboard? I would say yes, the blade is extremely sharp. This particular unit does have a 10 sheet capacity though. Because of the construction of cardboard, it would certainly shorten the life of the blade. If it is going to be used on occasion for that purpose, it would probably do what you need. But, if you are going to use it regularly and solely for the purpose of cutting cardboard, I'd probably step up to the next level. The Swingline ClassicCut Ingento has a sturdier construction and a 15 sheet capacity. It is double the price, but if you're going to end up buying two of the others, why not go ahead and make the investment. Would it cut cut the cardboard?

Yes it will, make sure to use a wood blade. Again it's a jig saw, if you re going to be cutting a lot of particle board, and depending on the project you may want to consider a circular saw or a table saw, again it's depending on how big the project is... The jig saw is for making round cuts and more detailed cuts, if you re just making straight cuts and a lot of them a circular saw is what you'll want.. I hope that helps

I used a similar cutter on cardboard and foam core for art class. Draw guides lines AND use a ruler to guide the blade, make sure you have something flat and solid under your work surface [I used another sheet of cardboard] press firmly and roll rather slowly. It was the BEST way to cut all the design panels I needed [especially compared to scissors and evil evil box cutters!] However, it will dull the blade quickly.

I have used it to remove SOME labels from cardboard boxes, but they are tough to remove cleanly. As for file folder labels, it should work. The key is to keep the peeler flat and gradually work from a corner in. Watch your hands, very sharp.

Yes, but if it's too wide you have to cut along one side with metal cutters. But this only happens if you have two togglers or more in the same box.

You can't use the cutter on the cardboard mat. It will ruin the mat and it will dull the blade and may damage it.

Have no idea. I've only used it to cut styrofoam and foam used in Halloween prop building.

They are sharp enough for paper. but usually what you want with paper scissors is that they be longer blade length so you get a straight cut. If you are not as concerned then yes for sure. These could be used to open taped up packages, with the straight or serrated edge. Its a compromise though, A box cutter will be better for opening boxes and a pair of titanium edge paper scissors is best for paper. But these would work well in a 'industrial' work environment. They are made for clipping plants and cutting rope after all.

Yes, I have used it to cut "cards" that I have laminated. Apparently it will cut anything scissors will cut...and much easier and better.

Yes. I use it for cutting tissue paper, ribbon, and even shrink wrap. Does great.

I believe it will cut pictures well. I usually cut 5 or more sheets of regular paper at once and the pictures wouldn't be thicker than that.

Absolutely NOT! I bought them to trim some boxes for a project, and I had to tape the tape to get anything to stay even for a short while. It doesn't stick to cardboard, doesn't stick to itself. A terrible waste of money.
