How would this do for newspaper coupon cutting? I have tried other cutting methods but the edge of the paper is to thin and ends up bunching.

Ceramic blade has some play in housing. Instead, recommend super sharp ( or sharpenable) scissors for thin paper, or exacto knife type on flat surface.

Probably about the same as a regular razor blade. The advantage of the ceramic blade is that it doesn't wear out; in other respects it behaves almost exactly like steel.

For your purpose, I would recommend the tiny Slice :http://www.amazon.com/Slice-00100-Safety-Cutter-Blister/dp/B002OOVC84/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1377471195&sr;=8-1&keywords;=slice .I just tried mine on newspaper and it works great!! Dawne

Sorry Tweety Bird .... You can only try it ..... The slices are really not very thick when cut using the slots on the slicer ..... Much thinner and you won't have much bread left �

It cuts regular cardstock easily (about 65 lb paper). Is that what you meant? The kind used for card-making and scrapbooking? If that's what you meant,no problem! And if it starts to get "dull", but fold over some tin foil and punch a few circles; it should sharpen it up again.

3 of the 5 answers here were not answers at all why do you even waste the time?it will cut some paper but its not always clean. i wouldnt risk dulling the edge. i really like mine, pre approved credit cards are finally a good thing to see in my mailbox.

It ia a bit of a pain.Cut the edge of the paper roll. Then push it in as far as you can but make sure the edges don't curl. While holding it in push the feed button.Good luck.

Mostly it has to be near the edge of the paper. You can get creative and fold paper a certain way to get a punch where you want it. You can wrinkle paper a bit to get the punch a few inches in.

I've had this problem, too, and the only thing that works is to use an edge like the blunt end of a metal nail file or something similar to scrape it off. Or you can wet the item and see if the paper dissolves.

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.

I have no scientific data for you, but I would deem this a "light duty" cutter. I've cut a couple of sheets worth at a time, but the more you add, the more I would expect pages to 'drift' and not be cut accurately. I'd recommend no more that 1-3 sheets at most. If you need to do a lot of mass cutting, I'd pass on this and go with something more substantial.

It is pretty thin, but still you can't rip it easily. I used a dull blade on my silhouette cameo electronic cutter and it didn't cut all the way through. I could not just force it to pull apart. But, my blade is only set on a 2 out of 10 for depth. It is too thin to give a size

I was able to cut fowers and heart shapes using the Cricket machine. Paper is very thin I would recommend buying a little extra in case they rip.

It depends on which direction you are feeding the paper and if the paper has a curl to it.. Feed it from the front and make sure the proper width of the paper is chosen and the paper lays pretty flat...

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 can trim about 10 pages of regular copy paper, and 5-6 pages of card stock and get nice even cuts. Not sure how it would work on 18' paper unless the cuts you are making are to bring it down to standard copy size.

I have used the machine to punch cardstock, say about 4-6 sheets, for our financial statement covers and it works well. It would probably depend on how thick your pages are. Its a great machine and works very well for us. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Absolutely! I just cut acetate sheets yesterday and those tend to be be thicker and stiffer. The directions say that you can cut upwards of 30 pieces of paper at one, although I would never do that because totally clean cuts. It's a sharp cutter.

If you mean cutting through to the bottom of the paper then you need to adjust your blade. If you meant it is cutting through the letters making your work unusable, I would suggest turning the machine off and redoing your settings. Check you settings on the machine itself and also in the cutter software. If that doesn't work then try uninstalling and reinstalling the software. If all else fails there is a customer service number for US cutter they would know best.
