Question 1

Can it cut through fabric?

Accepted Answer

Haven’t tried anything except foam board but it’s an thin exacto blade. I believe it would cut fabric as long as you can keep the fabric in place.

Question 2

Will this cut 1/8 inch and 3/32 inch bass wood and balsa wood sheets? (Model rocketry parts)

Accepted Answer

I did a little checking around the cyber world and did not find any definite solution to your question.  I did however find information on how to cut balsa wood with an exacto knife.  The blade for this circle cutter does not have a very large cutting surface, only 1/8" at a 45° angle.  I noticed that the blades that are used in the demos are mostly #11 exacto blades which have a larger cutting surface.  With this said, I would first have plenty of replacement blades on hand and some fine sand paper ready.  Start by finding the center of your circle and make a small hole all the way through the piece of balsa wood.  Follow the instructions for cutting your circle but only cut through half of the wood.  I would rotate the handle relatively slowly. Turn the piece over and repeat the cut making sure you only cut half way through. I would use this method for both the 1/8" and 3/32" thick pieces of balsa wood.  I would try it myself just to see if in fact it will work but I don't have any balsa wood on hand.  Good luck, and I hope this helps.

Question 3

Will it Cut holes in soft foam ?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you mean by soft foam.  It works on foamcore, and would probably work on thin closed cell polyurethane foam. Be sure the cutting blade is scalpel sharp.

Question 4

Will this cut charcoal foam? A soft type of foam

Accepted Answer

I would say yes as long as it an quarter of an inch otherwise if thicker u would have to scour the outlines from the back side. Yes if it's the consistency of foam board.
