Red Devil 1170 PLEXIGLASS Scoring Tool, 1-Pack

I have a feeling that the people giving this low marks don’t know how to use it properly or didn’t read the instructions on the package. When used as directed, it’s great. It worked perfectly for me to cut a few smaller pieces out of a sheet of Plexiglass. It seems well made and has a good weight in the hand (that’s what she said!).Just remember, this is not a CUTTING tool. It will not and is not supposed to cut through the plastic. Its purpose is to create a very sharp and accurate scribe mark on the plastic so that when you bend along the scribe it will cleanly snap off. And you will need to make several passes to get it deep enough. So just do what it says in the instructions and you shouldn’t have any issues at all.

Not For a Novice!
I am giving this four stars because using it as described on the package, it didn’t work well for me. I believe that someone with more experience and skill would be better at rating this. I had difficulty keeping the cuts straight, so the scoring depth might have been too shallow and inconsistent. I ended up with broken edges on two of the three cuts, which I attribute mostly to myself. However, if you have not done this before, it is not easy, so be aware!

Doesn’t work. Dangerous
First of all this is a very sharp tool and it does not come with any sort of cover to protect anyone when it is not in use. Secondly I attempted to use this for its intended purpose and it failed miserably. Barely even scored the surface. You would have to sit there and do this a million times in order for it to actually make a cut in something and then you would have to do it. On the other side as well and try to match them up exactly. Basically basically it’s not as easy as it would appear to be and for me. It was a complete waste of money because the company would also not accept a return on the item because they insist that you internet in the original packaging. Which? If you. Saw how this was packaged? You would know that it’s virtually impossible to send it back that way because it has that type of plastic that you really have to hack into in order to Get the tool out.So over all this tool for me was a waste of time and money. I never did cut the plexiglass. I wanted to. In the future if I am able I will take it Someplace that has a circular saw with the appropriate type of blade to do so.

It works
I build picture frames for my wife’s artwork, and have struggled cutting the plexiglass. I clamped a heavy T square to the plexiglass and scored along the edge 10 plus times. On my first attempt, I hadn’t scored the edges enough, so it was a jagged break. On my second attempt, I carefully scored the edges, in both directions, and had a very clean break.NOTE: this is a scoring tool, not a cutting tool, so follow the directions.

Ferramenta de otima qualidade

Excelente cuter solo que si hay que echarle ganas dándole varias pasadas hasta que hace un surco que permita la separación. Yo lo use para un acrílico grueso y funciono Perfecto!Hay que hacer muy bien los primeros trazados para que haga una guía fácil de seguir. Yo utilice una regla metálica para los primeros 8 trazos. Se necesita paciencia, pero finalmente se logra el corte.
