Good idea, bad function.

Just prone to clogging the foam and breaking despite new blades. Waste of money, although the idea is good, what use is an idea that is not implemented with good quality? Expensive.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Expensive

Stay away from this article!

Far from what I had hoped for. First, cutting tools are meaningless as they are not attached to the rail. The blades became dull 5 minutes after the test cut. It came in an unmarked box containing only cutting tools in bubble bags, no other packaging. The included book is full of good ideas but is intended to be used with a guide and cutters or other cutting tools not included in this set. Not worth the price of dull blades, useless book; So you are basically paying close to Β£40 for a long…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Okay, not everything I was hoping for.

I misunderstood when I ordered this as I thought the blades were somehow attached to the guide. No, you just need to have a steady hand and be led by a guide. The blades dull fairly easily. You cannot use this on a regular cutting mat. You should have a large piece of styrofoam underneath the piece you want to cut out. I end up using one of these snap-off utility knives more often than the blades that come with it. However, the rail guide is a really good, sturdy piece of equipment. The tongue…

Pros
  • Not only useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Style 90

Cutouts inaccurate

The only good thing about this cut is the elastic at the bottom! Great for cutting. The cutting tools are terrible - uses a standard 3/16" board as described in the kit. A 45 degree angle cutter will provide a much larger cut than 45 degrees. The alignment of the blade of the tongue cutter was so wrong - it just cuts through the To prevent cutting through, the other blade is aligned deep enough to leave a cut more than 3/16 "". I had high hopes for this, but was very disappointed. Just buy a…

Pros
  • Ideal for architecture, arts, crafts, studies, framing, drawing, model making, hobbies and a variety of other creative uses.
Cons
  • High Price

The cutting knives included in the kit are NOT compatible with the ruler.

Will give 4 or 5 stars except the included knives are NOT designed to fit the included aluminum ruler guide. In fact, the handle on the side of the knife interferes with the guide side of the ruler, and you need to use the measuring side of the ruler like a regular ruler, after that you can also buy a cheaper metal meter. Newer construction tools are designed for rail cutting, but are of course sold separately. It cuts foam very well and while it works with foamed PVC it doesn't cut as cleanly…

Pros
  • Includes 2 WB Blades and 6 WC Blades with tools.
Cons
  • Big and chunky
