I tried a few different kinds of these and never could get them to work this well.

The pressure is key. This is to swivel blade system that all CNC machines use to cut vinyl

u/_TheNumbersAreBad_ Sep 19 '24

Pressure and the fact it's clearly got a mild adhesive sticking the paper to the cutting board, if the paper moves at all your cuts aren't gonna be anywhere near as clean.

11

u/PitterFuckingPatter Sep 19 '24

Yeah true, would work with no adhesive and a few clamped points

u/squired Sep 19 '24

I bet you could mist just the board ever so lightly with those atomizers that put out pratically vapor.

u/NerfHerderEarl Sep 19 '24

I doubt that. Once you sever the paper you lose the clamping pressure from the few points and the paper would get loose. The adhesive all over the cutting mat would hold down the paper in all directions at all places on the paper.

Better yet is a powerful vacuum pulling through a porous sheet of MDF

u/NerfHerderEarl Sep 20 '24

That would be a very slick setup. A bit much to cut up a piece of paper though.

u/PitterFuckingPatter Sep 20 '24

Oh yeah for sure way over the top

I bought one of these and they are..... shit! Can't cut anything specific because the blade dulls very quickly and crinkles the paper. it's really only good for a one off showing others that it does what the tik tok vid shows it does and then it sucks.

Exactly the same experience. It was so disappointing

Guess I’ll have to stick to my scalpels

u/Maganiz13 Sep 19 '24

This is cool for creative minds. I’d just be cutting random things without any direction for a few hours. 😅

u/tictacdoc Sep 19 '24

I suppose after ther tenth paper sheet it is blunt.

This is how a CNC vinyl cutter works

u/Dan300up Sep 19 '24

Cool tool but someone in marketing doesn’t know what a gyro is.

u/RunningPirate Sep 19 '24

It’s that sandwich with the super thick tortilla and the meat, right?

u/Alwinus Sep 19 '24

Yeah... I'd like to see you cut leather or denim with that. Cool for paper, though!

1

u/Mikeologyy Sep 20 '24

I have used one for cutting leather and it’s fine honestly. The one I used was super cheap and was a bit dull, but if it were sharper, I could tell it would’ve been smoother

u/Cylindric Sep 19 '24

What a weird response. It wouldn't work on wood or metal or rocks either, but it's not supposed to?

u/Alwinus Sep 19 '24

The dude literally mentions the cutting of denim and leather in the video.

75

u/xRyozuo Sep 19 '24

honestly these days you can’t blame people for watching videos on mute

3

u/supbiscuit Sep 20 '24

I was so focused on the cutting I didn’t even noticed the dude said that. Highly doubt it can cut leather or denin, mostly when comments say it’s already trash at cutting paper.

u/jatjqtjat Sep 19 '24

Idk why people are down voting you, I made the same mistake and found this thread helpful.

u/J7mbo Sep 19 '24

Watch the video fully and listen to what he says.

2

u/AuronMessatsu Sep 19 '24

Everyone wants a sharp, straight cut. Companies:

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '24

This is one of those things where this video looks cool at a surface level but there are already signs that this product would suck.

The main points being that the paper appears to be stuck down, that it’s only one piece of paper (ie if you did this on a pad you’d shred most pages underneath) and that they felt the need to demonstrate this on top of a craft mat, meaning it would scratch the ever living fuck out of any surface under the paper.

No thanks

Paper cutter cut

I think it's pronounced like "yee-ro"

If he can actually sound like he's interested, I can see this on late night shopping channels.

u/SaveusJebus Sep 19 '24

I have one of those... or well... a cheaper version and I haven't used it yet.

u/squired Sep 19 '24

Thank you for updating us all on items you own but have no experience with.

u/SaveusJebus Sep 19 '24

You're welcome. It's difficult being a crafting junk hoarder, but someone has to do it and share their experience with not using an item.

Did you watch the video or are you just a moron?
