Could I use this to cut card stock (say three sheets of the thickness of index cards)?

I personally have not used it on card stock, but the way it cuts paper, I would think this wouldn't be a problem. I regularly cut 10 pages of coupons at time on it with no problem. I hope this helps.

I think you would be able to cut three sheets of card stock, but not necessarily accurately. I can cut thick chipboard, which would seem about equivalent to three sheets of card stock, but I have to make sure to hold the entire sheet really well or the blade starts to pull the sheet in, resulting in an angled cut. I would guess something similar would happen, especially with the bottom sheet of card stock. One sheet of thick card stock cuts very nicely, two is a little tougher, but can be accurately done. I've never tried more than that.

I agree that it will cut for you. But depending on the length of the cut, accuracy may be off. I mainly cut photo paper and the blade tends to wander toward the end of the cut on 10-11" cuts. But if I hold the paper toward the end, it works good enough for me. This cutter is very lightweight, not intended for heavy work, but again, it is worth your trying it. Seems to be of good quality.

I have used mine to cut through five index cards at a time, and have no problem at all.

I have successfully laminated two sheets of 65lb card stock together in a pocket. One would think that if the paper were too thick the machine wouldn't accept it, but I have not experienced any problems.

I haven't attempted what you've described, but I think in can be done. As long as the stock is well secured and the saw is supported by placing another piece of stock next to the one that you're ripping it should be do-able.

I think it might possibly slip in place to cut but I do not think this cutter would be strong enough to cut paper that thick. Card stock worked well so I think that might be best.

It will punch regular card stock no problem. You'd have to experiment to find out how many sheets it will do at one time.

We had trouble with card stock. It will not take anything thicker than copier paper. Unless there is a setting we have not found that will change that.

I use card stock in the MPF and had a few quirks with it wanting to grab 2 or 3 sheets at a time. Never used card stock or business cards in Tray. What I failed to realize is that I was suppose to fan the card stock to keep the pages from sticking together. That fixed the problem. If appointment cards are the same as business cards then it will work great. If not, I can't tell you anything about that.

Yes, we use it to cut several layers of card stock. The blade is durable and easy to replace when it does get dull.

Not sure what materials you had in mind, but this cutter works with paper/card stock and also the vinyl mat with sticky back.

It should be ok for use with card stock, but as is the case with any thicker paper, it is just naturally more opaque.

Mine works perfectly. I cut through 2" of card stock yesterday, so very likely yes.

It's worked well when I've used it with cover stock or photo paper. I'm about to try a project with card stock and will report back.

I would recommend it for card stock but not all other papers. By foam are you thinking thin open cell foam sheet for that I would say yes. But it will not work on foam core stock.

The thickest stuff I have cut with the deep blade is tag board that is like 3 sheets of card stock thick. It did not cut all the way through.

I'm not sure but it cuts credit cards, gift cards and milk jugs....not sure how thick those are?

Card stock comes in different mil. I use card stock that is 3 or 4 and it works fine.

I'm not sure, but I use index cards to make my own events. They are the correct width and I usually cut about an inch of length off so that they are not too tall.
