| Post subject: | Help with cut strips |
Hello! Im new member here! I'm interested in finding a way to easily cut strips (black and white) for the tonewood . The material is celluloid. How do you or someone else use them to cut them? Their width is 2 mm their thickness is 0.40 to 0.60 and 50-60 cm length. I'm looking to find a machine or my own construction that I can cut straight and right one from the other. Manual always. Any idea? Thank youfor the attention!! |

This is a tool used to cut strips from Formica (HPL) sheets. It may (or may not) work for cutting celluloid plastic. It slices strips without any "kerf" loss: https://www.amazon.com/Virutex-C015L-Po ... B000071NUW Most cabinet shops that do laminate work will have a few of these and may let you use it so you can try before you buy. They do make large stationary cutters for production work: https://www.specialtytools.com/shop-by- ... tters.html And there are other various tools in between: https://www.ebay.com/p/1324615033 |

If you want to move the tool rather than pull the material you could use a gramil (the same tool some use for cutting binding ledges) and line the material up with the edge of a cutting board. How to make one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f821SaEm8E4 There are also simpler all wood designs. Robbie O'Brien set up video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL0eHnXPKU0 |
