Rectangular Shape Cutters for Arbitrary Dimensions?
I'm looking for rectangular shape cutters that would let me dial in any
arbitrary dimension. Can anyone refer me to a commercial product that can do this? I'm also looking to cut in rounded corners but again for arbitrary radius. If anyone knows of a solution or kit that includes many smaller radius I would appreciate the referral. -- Will |

Rectangular Shape Cutters for Arbitrary Dimensions?
I should have stated it clearly: I'm trying to cut rectangles and corners
onto paper. I'm trying to create specialized peel-off labels from larger rectangular peel-off labels. -- Will "Will" wrote in message ...

But it would require a small amount of careful cutting and thoughtfulness... It would be substantially less automatic than a punch. Or possibly a back lit cutting board with a grid on it...??? Also: i noticed the other day that some people are still using Number 11 exacto blades with the pencil shaped holder...??? i've found that the small box-cutter is far more excellent...! It's much easier to change blades, ( just snap the tip off ) and the shape is easier to hold on to, Plus, when you're not using it, you can easily retract the blade...! You will never find these at an Art or Crafts Store, you will have to go to a hardware store, and there a couple of different kinds, so buy all of them, and try each, They're very inexpensive...! With the ones you don't like, you just take the blades out, and use them in the one you do like and the price difference, minus the blades, will be like a dollar. !!! |
