Guillotine for cutting Plasticard

[Kirley]

For anyone who has spent endless hours cutting plasticard I would recommend a Sylmasta

Guillotine Multi-Angle, it speed up the cutting and provides, for me anyway, a more accurate cut every time.

 

 

This is their Web Site:

Kirley, thank you thank you thank you!! I've wondered if this existed and apparently it does! No matter how hard I try, when I'm doing production line type batches I can never just get completely acurate cuts. Thanks for that tip!

Micro Mark and North West Shortline in the US produce similar tools for cutting plasticard.

 

The Duplicutter & Duplicate-it have an adjustable stop and is great for accurately cutting large multiple parts such as wagons sides, ends, floors. http://www.micromark.com/duplicate-it,9546.html

 

I have also used the Duplicutter with an Offra Cutter for scribing planking on wagon bodies.

 

The Chopper & Chop-it are guillotines with adjustable stops great for cutting multiple parts in plasticard or stripwood. http://www.micromark.com/chop-it,9547.html

 

I have a NWSL Chopper & a Duplicutter both of which must be getting on for 20-25 years. When the hardboard under the blade gets worn with cutting I just fill the groove with plastic filler and keep going.
