FAQs
What types of plastic can this tool score?
This tool is primarily designed for scoring acrylic plastics. Its effectiveness may vary on other types of rigid plastics.
Can this tool cut through plastic completely?
No, this tool is designed for scoring plastic to create a line of weakness, allowing for a clean break. It does not cut through the material entirely.
How do I choose between the normal and extra pressure tips?
Use the normal pressure tip for thinner acrylics or lighter scoring. Use the extra pressure tip for thicker acrylics or when a deeper score line is desired for a cleaner break.
How often should I clean the tool?
It is recommended to clean the cutting tips after each use or whenever plastic residue is visible to maintain optimal performance.
Where is this tool manufactured?
This product is manufactured in China.
What are the dimensions and weight of the tool?
The dimensions are approximately 9.52 x 3.19 x 2.93 inches, and it weighs about 0.06 pounds.
Troubleshooting
Uneven score line
Ensure the tool is held at a consistent angle and pressure throughout the scoring pass. Check that the cutting tip is clean and free from debris.
Plastic chips during break
Make sure a deep enough score line was created. Try using the extra pressure tip if working with thicker acrylic. Apply firm, even pressure during the break.
Tool feels dull
Clean the tip thoroughly. If the tip remains dull after cleaning, it may need replacement. Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts or service.
