What brand and thickness of stencil making sheet works well with this heated cutter?

I use Darice, Studio 71, non adhesive stencil film. A tip...use 1/2 " masking tape to make little handles on each side of the stencil so when finished the stencil can be lifted straight up and away from your project. I also use 1/2 inch masking tape to secure the stencil to my base, unless it is paper. Works well!

Hi, I use to use a smaller 12 inch cutter that could only cut up to 5 sheets at a time. I use a heavy 60-80lb card stock paper for some of my clients and I needed something that would make it easy. This unit handled 50 sheets at a time with no problem. It saved us about 4 hours because it can handle the 11x17 sheets.

Heat transfer material is intended to be cut using the silhouette machine. I dont print anything on this heat transfer material. I have a wide variety of colors and layer when necessary.

This pad is the top plate and is used with a silicone rubber mat. This works with slim metal stencils and dies. Not the thick big Sizzix die.

My best friend has my laminator. She has used 3 different brands other than Fellowes. She told as long as they are the right size any sheets will work.

I have used it in my Sizzix; however, I have to run it through more than once and sometimes I have to use scissors get my image. But I love the thickness, as it's not flimsy.

I think with the right attachment and care this would be great for cutting stencils but it's only a supposition because I haven't used this for cutting, yet. Thanks for the idea though.

I would use contact paper if you do not want the lines to bleed. I use contact paper for stencils and the are crisp and sharp.

As far as more available tips. You will get a sheet that is in the packaging from the original manufacture that more available tips that you can order. And as far as the tips that are provided , I still haven't gone through them yet and it's been quite a while since I've had this thing. I suppose it would make a difference as far as how long they will last depending on the material your using as a back drop to cut your stencils with. Hope this helps... :-)

I would think so. How are you cutting the stencils out? Are you using a cricket or some other type of processor? If you are cutting by hand I see no problems at all. I think you would be okay with the cricket too.

es, this is easy to cut with GOOD scissors. This is fairly thick which is good. Best price I could find also.

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.

Walnut Hollow has a website where you can look at the different burning tools. It lists stencil cutting as one of the things you can do with the Versa-tool item no. 38283. But it doesn't mention anything about the stencil cutting material. I hope it's safe to assume that they are intending you to use some type of thin plastic or vinyl that's made for stencil cutting.

Correct. Try the Brother Thermal 'Plus' rolled paper. Looks and feels a little better.

I don't know. But one type of Mylar burns black when using the stencil burner. This one does not.

Works great. Its for thermal. Sizes vary greatly for each machine so just verify the mm width is correct. The length of the roll also matters because some machines can't handle 230ft of paper. Good luck!

Yes. I used a Cameo to cut stencils with the Grafix plastic, speed 1-2, blade thickness 3, thickness 25 (24-27). I use single cut but you may want to try double cut. The perfect setting will depend on the level of detail in your project. These cuts will dull your blade, get a spare for use with plastic.
