what materials can be cut with the V2? Can it emboss recycled aluminum cans, felt, compress foam, velvet, thin cardboard? I appreciate your help!

Hi Venus, I have cut felt, thin chipboard and of course cardstock. I have embossed all different weights of fabrics, thin cardboard and felt so far. I'm sure it would emboss compressed foam. It is a wonderful embosser and a real workhorse! I would recommend you buy a couple of cutting plates and at least an extra set of the embossing plates. I'm going to try a cut aluminum can. Great idea! I'm that confident about it! I'm all about recycling and creating art! I hope this helps!

I just tried to use it with wax paper. It does NOT work. The wax paper is too slippery, so it isn't taut enough for the cutting blade to slice through. It rips and tears. Haven't tried it with aluminum foil.

Plastic can be peeled back, and cut! DO NOT cut against the strip, will break condition

I have not cut wax paper with this cutter, but I have cut laminated plastic/foil bags. I see no reason why it would not work.

I don't own the vagabond but did a search on that question. You do have to do different layering in the machine, but you can do it. I would suggest you research how to do it, to make sure you have the correct supplies to make it work. I had to experiment with my Cuttlebug to make it work. They are thicker embossing folders than all of my other ones.

I've tried with eva foam about 1mm thick. I had no success at all. In the large leaf punch even worst because the 1mm sheet does not fit. In the smaller leaf punch, half of the leaf stays uncut.

The die does cut felt. I use a metal plate when cutting felt. The size is 0.5 inches. It is less that 1/2 inch but very cute and looks great on cards and scrapebook pages.

It works great for the silhouette for stenciling and other silhouette projects. I prefer it to the rolls (easier to use). You need to adjust the blade/cut settings though to get it to cut clean. You can use the silhouette settings for vinyl but you want to adjust it to cut thicker material than you would with the silhouette rolls or it won't remove properly. Hope this helps!

Maybe. Of you could find the right sized file for the arc of the cutting surface. But the are so cheap I am not sure it would be worth it. The are all metal under the plastic handle and could be recycled.

maybe but i would go for the round orbital sander, the one for velcro discs. few dollars and a huge diference. sheet sanders are going obsolete and soon to be extinted, they also leave "curls" on the sanded surface.

Sorry, but I miss spoke earlier. It uses 3" paper and you can get it at klingspor. I get mine there and they have a good selection. Use an original one so you can cut it at the correct lenght.

Yes it can be cut. I cut the vinyl in 5" wide strips to cover two areas in my office.

Craft vinyl yes, home repair vinyl no. However, itwwill dull your punch. I will try a craft knife and stencil.

These are actually plastic folders that you place the cardstock or paper or whatever you want to emboss into and run it through an embossing machine like a Cuttlebug or Sizzix. HOWEVER....I think you could try placing what you want to emboss on the one side of the folder and use a stylus or embossing tool to push into the indentations to create an embossed look....NOPE....sorry...I just tried it and it DIDN'T work so well because I couldn't see where the design was to know where to push the stylus. You definitely need to use an embossing machine.

Jake,Cut it with one of "those" cutters, or a regular pair of scissors?When these regular-size sims are cut, what are we cutting through?Just excess cardboard?What do we have to be aware of?

I've found its' limit to be about 10 pages of regular weight paper.I will do a couple of pieces of heavy oaktag paper (I often punch the slash folders for the back cover of book).What is the thickness of the item you want to cut and how heavy is it as compared to cardboard?

It will emboss/etch paper. If you have cutting plates it should cut too. I have not tried it on fabric so I would not be able to answer that one.
