Anyone used this to cut hardware cloth or metal fencing? I make my own rabbit hutches and what something easier/faster than fence cutters.

I want to know if this worked for the cage material, I am doing similar projects. I use vinyl coated 16ga wire hardware mesh to make small animal cages. What worked for you? Thanks, I appreciate any advice.

I have not but see no reason why it would not work as long as it's a higher gauge (thinner) stock. It would certainly be much faster!

Hi Bro, I bought one of this; and cut perfectly plaster, drywall panels and similar consistence products. The bit that come with it, Works nicely. If you Desire cut another materials like tiles for example, you need another bit for that material. I hope that information be useful....

I used it for my cats but I would think that rabbits could chew through it if there was something on the other side that they really wanted to eat. It is heavy plastic-type material. I would use metal wire instead like hardware cloth.

I would suggest you go to the hardware store or search on Amazon for wire cutters. Don't ruin a good pair of scissors. Breaking it would leave dangerous sharp edges.

Will it cut PVC pipe? Yes...But I'd ask why? 1st it only has a 9" cut do if doing small craft project your good. 2nd there are better ways to cut small diameter PVC. The PVC scissors would be way cheaper

On the felt that I used yes! I tried it on some netting and it does well. To cut fabric, the only thing I can see that would hinder it is if you do not have the fabric down in a manner not to allow the blade to move well. I have made a quilt using the Disappearing Nine Patch. I know after I sew the nine patch back together for second or third or fourth cuts, The problem is the build up the layers of fabric and thread at the seams. That is why, I say with confidence, as long as you have your fabric down correctly on a good cutting board there should be no problem. I have had no problems.

I would give it a shot, heat may be a problem so go for slow r p m if in plastic. You can try different cutters also.

Sorry, I'm not able to help. I use it for mainly fabrics and leather but I would imagine so.It has different usage that I have not explored yet including the part to cut wires.

I made my own and they work well. I went to my local Lowes as they sell bolts, washers and nuts individually not in a multiple bag of pieces. I had some hardwood pieces around so I cut the lengths I wanted, made openings for the bolts and what I made works great. I don't have a need for metal clamps as the Dremel and the press are light weigh. This is just a suggestion, make you own.

I primarily use this saw for glass. I have used it on copper bar that was .37" thick. The saw really didn't like doing it. It is under powered for use with metal or thick materials and for production work it would be nearly useless. It is a craft saw (which means toy). It works great on glass, tile, and thin wood. But it sounds like you are going to need a machine that has more power. I have thought that a ring saw might have been a better idea. Good Hunting.

I use for cutting out appliqued fabric pieces with paper backing attached. Have not cut individual paper with it. I do believe it would work.

I have used a cricket cutter and the eclips, I like the eclips better. I have a friend who uses a cameo I occasionally cut items for her.

This tool is not really designed to do what I think you are doing. It is more for precision cutting and does not make long cuts in a perfecly straight line. It has a very thin blade so it doesn't remove very much material such as a piece of plexiglass would fill. It would be very difficult to make a straight level cut longer than about 4 inches. I would recommend using a router, with a fence attachment. You can clean up the corners with a hand chisel and have a nice straight step to set the plexi in.

I had a different cutter that I used the shoestring cutter for hashbrowns, zucchini & other things. I find I have to use the next cutter up for all my cutting with this new one. The shoestring cutter cuts too fine.

I've only used it for quilting and it will cut through several thicknesses of cotton fabric. I just tried it on naugahyde ....not exactly heavy duty leather, but it cut right through it.

I just recently ventured into this feature myself....(there's so much to do with this machine....I LOVE IT!!!!).....I've only cut common cotton and cotton-blended fabric so far....but I can tell you that it cut those perfectly for me. I used a tip I found online that suggested you iron it to something like freezer paper or "Heat N Bond lite" which is what I use. Place it onto the mat with the paper facing up....the fabric will be directly on the sticky mat......KEEP IN MIND to FLIP YOUR IMAGE BEFORE CUTTING....OR IT WILL come out BACKWARDS. Make sure to do this with letters. I wish I had some to try so I could tell you but I can tell you this....I LOVE this machine!!!!.....there's so much you can do with it and I am so happy I bought one.

Kerry, what did you decide on and how is it working out for you? I am just starting to work with paracord as a hobby and have tried a few different styles of basic scissors and utility cutters with unsatisfactory results. I haven't purchased anything specifically for paracord yet and what I've tried are cutting tools I already own, are sharp but maybe just not good for paracord.
