Does anyone use this for chipping bamboo? Will it chip bamboo?

Yes it does. I have used mine for that. I have some bamboo that is over 2in Dia.

Jonathan - I can't answer the question about bamboo, but if you find out, you can let me know....I have a bit of a problem with that, also. I bought the QuikPro for "torpedo" grass...terrible to get rid of and it won't happen overnight. That being said, after a few weeks of spraying (once a week), it has killed the top layer...I am told that it will take approximately six months for it to be gone altogether...but I am satisfied with the results of QuikPro so far. I know this doesn't answer your question, but I do believe the product is good.

Not great; when I used it to cut dry bamboo sticks, it crushed & split the sticks before eventually cutting them. If you're cutting dried bamboo for reusing it, I would go with a saw instead. Not sure how it does on fresh bamboo; in any case, you may want to go with either longer loppers (for better leverage) or use a saw.

WOW chipboard, not so much. It does paper and cardstock fine... when I need to score chipboard... I use a craft knife and a quilting ruler... slightly cut through the first top level and then it bends well... if that's what you want it to do. Also you want to cut the bendy side not the stiffer side. I hope this helps.

Haven't used it on bamboo but it will go through a 2" tree branch with very little effort.

It wasn't even enough to cut heavy cardstock--- it definitely won't cut chipboard. For chipboard, you'll want an old-school guillotine style paper cutter or, if you must have a rotary, you could try the Dahle professional rotary trimmer.

I would NOT. In all honesty, I haven't tried it but I would be afraid that the bamboo area might scorch from residual burner heat. I had something similar years ago (not same brand or material) and ended up having a burner coil imprint from the heat on the underside.

Yes I sure would. But I will tell you that I am disappointed after 2 years it has started to chip off. I used the thick stuff with the sand or whatever it was in it. It is hard to work with and very thick. My new wood even started to chip and I have read where others have had the same problem. Whether the guarantee works I don't know. Thought I was smart and threw away the register receipt after the first year. It is too expensive to chip off. The edges are the worst. Hope this helps you. Sincerely Debbie

I don't know about bamboo however I used it on our hardwood floors (not bamboo). At first it is beautiful but it doesn't stay like that.

Not sure. Bamboo is pretty tough stuff. I would not use this indoors though.

I've never used chipboard...go to search on your pc...look up Sizzix, then email them and I'm sure they can answer your question. good luck

With bamboo you need to people. One to cut the bamboo and the other to spray a squirt of round up in the hole within 3 seconds. It works.

it didn't really work on my wooden rolling board and pin. I'm not sure of the wood as well. for you I tried it on my bamboo spoon and it worked. I guess you should use it on your new bamboo products or the ones which are not totally dried out. I never washed after using it,just wipe off. follow the instructions and it might work on bamboo. you do need to wait for 20 minutes before using it. I hope this helps you.

I would recommend a wooden or heavy plastic bowl so you don't scratch surfaces of (or possibly break/chip) glass or ceramic bowls. This knife does work well on a chopping board/butcher block as well but be prepared for a bit of a mess with anything juicy, like tomatoes. I've used a chopping board to to chop/mince lettuce, onion, cilantro, jalapenos and tomatoes and it works great.

I've had my cutter since late January and I use it for making cards so far its done vey well! I have also used it to cut chip board and it's still a very clean cut! I hope this helps you in your decision !

Does very well with hardwood -- almost no chipout. Plywood is a little more difficult, so I sometimes score the wood with the blade set very low before cutting the full depth.
