can the roll be cut with a chop saw with a metal blade?

It would probably damage the foil and be a messy cut. The foil can be easily cut with a razor knife.

Probably not, since metal blade is fixed in plastic holder. I suppose the plastic in front of the blade could be filed down or broken off.....not sure if worth it, or if safe.

No, this machine is designed to cut wood, not metal. The speed of the saw would be too fast to cut mild steel. Using this machine to cut metal will void any manufacturer warranty.

I don't see why not, but it may not cut the shrink wrap as well as it does paper; The cutting mechanism doesn't contain a blade, just a flat bar held taut with springs

Theoretically, yes. Practically, it can be done but places a premium upon your preparation, patience, technique, and the cleanness and sharpness of your cutting blade. When you are applying the film it is wet and slippery, and trimming even a straight edge is a challenge. When being trimmed, the thin film has a tendency to get caught on the blade, bunch-up, and pulled off alignment, resulting in creases, a jagged edge and uneven line, or a tear - a situation that would be greatly exacerbated when trimming curved edges. Have a clean cloth available to wipe residue from your blade before each trim stroke. Theoretically, yes.

Yes, it should be able to, the blade is very sharp so it take little effort to make the cuts.

I don't see why that wouldn't be possible, but not sure what you would use to cut it. It seems pretty durable.

I've never heard of anyone doing that before but I don't know why it can't be done. It has the big center blade that could probably do that. But I am not for sure. Maybe you could write directly to the company and see what they say. I only had experience with the shredding and slicing blades, which I would NOT recommend. But some people don't care if it doesn't cut all that great. It is a very powerful machine, so I would imagine it could do the job. I hope that helps. Good luck.

Yes, you can cut the product. I cut it with a hacksaw. I honestly think you could cut it with a steak knife if you had to.

I don't see why not. I have cut wood, metal and plastic with mine it it works just fine with each material.

Never tried but I would guess NO! This is really thick and tough! If it will not do the job you need more that tape. You will not be able to tear this off the roll you will need a sharp knife or good scissors.

You would need a saw to cut it! The plastic is very hard. I wouldn't recommend it.

Absolutely yes. I had to do the same thing. I used my chop saw but any saw will work. Remember to wear hand and eye protection.

there is some videos on you tube that shows how to cut metal. But be very careful because if you jam it you void the warranty!! Watch what not to do with a vagabond first.

Although I have no experience in this area I would say the hard plastic tire on the wheels would probably be damaged if you cut metal with this saw. I personally woujld not cut metal with my bandsaw.

I dont think you need it. I just roll flat sheets at the desired thickness. No cuts needed you can't do with a knife.

Yes its the larger roll that they sell online. One note Very hard to cut, so make sure you have very heavy duty scissors. Razor knife is pretty much useless with this stuff. While it server my needs I probably would not use it again.
