What cutting tools are recommended to cut a stencil out of it?

I am not sure I ordered or used this exact product. The stencil I cut, I used a craft knife that is a razor. I have also used a Cameo Silhouette machine. I bought and have not used a heat tool for cutting. It would depend on the thickness of the product you are cutting. I would test a smaller piece to see what is the best way to go about your project. Good Luck!

I have not cut into mine yet as I ended up buying the stencils I wanted. A good exact-o type knife is what was recommended in the book I was getting instructions. Alabama Chanin's site is where I got info.

I have cut out several cotton fabric appliques with Steam a Seam Lite backing. It works great. The iron on adhesive that comes with the machine seems very heavy but I have not tried it. As a quilter you might be interested to hear that it can also cut quilting stencils.

Not a good choice because you would break or have to utilize a number of the etch type bits to complete this heavier type job. Standard straight bit will cut, but take a lot to do it with the smaller bits!! Regular standard size bits and router for best and safest cutouts. Good Luck!

Maybe I got the wrong type of stencil but the tip of my cutter would not get warm enough to cut smoothly. So it leaves a jagged edge making it difficult to trace through.

If it is in tight quarters you could use this. I always just cut PVC with a hacksaw and clean the burrs off with sandpaper. If you wrap a piece of paper (with a straight edge) around it you can trace the edge of the paper and make yourself a line to follow.

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.

I was unable to locate precut foam except from Pelican with no tooling cuts. I purchased black 1/2" and red 1/4" foam from www.foambymail.com and cut all of my tools out with an exacto knife and router. They have several options available and inexpensive. Good luck!

I bought a chalk pencil and outlined where the window and other bits go on the mat and then cut it with scissors. Simple stuff. Hope this helps.

We had a set from kone. It requires a stamp and special quick drying polish to use these stencils.

No. I could not use this on my cricut. It was a great stencil for regular exacto knife cutting.

I would not recommend filing, sanding or using a scroll saw. You will have a million tiny pieces. Better to use heat. I recommend a hot wire foam cutter.

Use a wire cutter. I use a pair of scissors at first but it left the ends frayed. Wire cutter

Buy the Dremel 9929 bit. It's almost the cost of this whole set, but will engrave granite stone, and will last longer than the cheap coated bits.

I would use a chop saw, that would do the trick nicely. I had to drill into mine and used a drill bit with a point on it - worked fine.

Scissors will work just fine. If you're worried about fraying you can use a match or lighter to singe the cut edges but it's probably not necessary.

Hi Debra: I have used this tool to cut out graphics printed on matte photo paper and it does just fine. No worries.
