I can't cut this with my regular wire cutters. Any suggestions? I expected it to be thinner.

I scored the wire with my wire cutters and bent it at scoring to cut. Good luck.

Klein HD2000-9NE "High-Leverage Side-Cutting Pliers - Heavy-Duty Cutting" is what I used. Worked great.

Did you have any of the mylar shims with it? Like thin sheets of plastic? If so, start adding those to the sandwich and see if it improves. If you don't have them, try copy paper- adding a sheet at a time until it cuts all the way through. Thats all the problem is, the sandwich isn't quite thick enough. remember to add shims one at a time until you get a good cut- you don't want to force something too thick through your machine.When you have the cut right, you can see if you could swap plates- taking out a thinner one and replacing it with a thicker one. Its really trial & error- no two machines will use exactly the same pressure, so what works for one person may not work for someone else. Sometimes, placing the die and chipboard on a different area of the platform, or facing a different way can help too. Hope this helps.

I cut mine with scissors. It is solid plastic but still a little flexible and not really thick. A utility knife should work, too.

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.

I couldn't strip smaller than 18ga wire, and that was a chore. Might not be the right tool for that.

Sorry for late response, was out of town. You can cut this down with an electric knife (but it will dull the knife). It would be hard to do with a scissors.

I don't know. When I tries to change the wire it was to difficult to understand. So I don't use the cheese cutter.

This is not the best or cheapest tool for that kind of work. I have done it but it takes.a few steps. I'd strip the outer.jacket.away with.the.blade to expose the.length of wires I need to have exposed. Then I either carefully cut down through the insulation and spin the.blade to make a circumfrential cut. Then you may be able to pull the insulation off or grab the insulation with the pliers and pull it off. The other way is to shave the insulation away from the wire. Either way you'll want to be careful not to NICK the wire. To cut the wire itself you could use the pliers to bend it back and forth until the wire fatigues and breaks, or use the file and file part way through then bend it once or.twice and it will snap.

Depending on what it is you are cutting, it could be paper or "see-through" thin. I've done that with cukes and zucchini. Harder to do with carrots.

I have the same issue - those little plastic bars on the sides have to be manipulated so you can close and cut. I could not find a way around it and do not use it anymore.

Pvc or plastic? I'd be concerned about melting rather than cutting. Try it on a small piece before investing in much material you may not be able to use.

Yes, I reported the same problem. But I have not thought yet how to solve it. May be, if you use some metal file and round somwhat the insertion sides of the cutters, they possibly can go easier into the handle. I have not tried it yet myself.

Very Thin, Mine has bent already, but it is still cutting. They do give you a second wire.

They'd certainly cut the wire, but it would really depend on the gauge you're cutting I guess. I can't say with certain it would give you the smooth cut you're desiring though. Sorry . . .

A replacement wire came with my slicer and I haven't had to use it yet, so I have no idea where to go for a replacement. Good luck.

you will need a chain cutter to cut it. it is very thick but that's what makes it so good. would not recommend!

These wiress are made for a specific cutting board. When installed corectly the handle pivots and tightens the wire to make the cut. I dont know what cutting boad you are using.
