X acto foam board cutter

[sporticus]

Don't know if you've seen these. I use Foam board to strengthen some of my models and I think this is cool for doing the joints.

These are very useful, I've had one for about 20 years. I have no clue why the video states that they are "NEW". Marketing I'd guess.

I use mine to make all kinds of things, but I've never used it for making card models;-o Just never crossed my mind.

Thanks for the link, it reminded me that I have the thing just sitting there waiting to help me build card models.

Yeah, think they have changed colour/design slightly. I've seen reference to making a cutter that onlyh cuts one piece of card and the foam, but I hadn't seen this before. The 45 cut definitely sold it for me. If anyone wants one I found this supplier in the Uk. Seems to be the best uk price with reasonable postage costs too. X-acto Foam Board / Mat Cutter # X7747

Seems generally cheap in the US X-Acto Foam Board Cutter - Walmart.com.

Wish they'd build a walmart over here!!

No worries. It's good to share. Unless it's an STD then it's not.
I've ordered one so I'll see if it's as good as it looks.
I do love the way that you can look on youtube and see a demonstration before parting with your cash.

Wonderful thing this 'ere interweb!

No you don't!

For sure cheap prices, but, everything they sell is on the Chinese subscription plan. i.e., after 6-months everything breaks and you have to re-buy it!
