C4 Cutter!

Oh, mine came with the felt (must have one of the first ones cause I did not have the option).

The felt base works for me and I have generally used it on a wood table.

The C4 cutter has either a foam base or a felt base, according to the website. Just wondered which type people preferred, since I've never used the C4 myself.

foam or felt base what?

Would you recommend the foam base or the felt base? Wasn't sure what the difference would be. . .

I suppose the knife and pressure all have an element in that.

My ASL kit is kinda of octagonal sort of, once you get used it it's not so bad. I have seen some guys and theirs are not as cut as my, it's depends on pressure, knife blade etc.

Hmmmm... I'd purchase, except that, in the pictures I'm seeing, the corners seem to be far more octangonal than I like to see. I prefer a gentle rounding of the corners when I clip. Are they guides at all adjustable? Or is 'octagon' the only setting?

Lewis,

You simply push down. I have tried both the 18 and 12 gauge X-acto knifes, I find that the 18 works the best. I also tried several blades. I found that either the chisel or the regular 18 works best. I don't like the regular 18 so much cause you can make the corners either really small or really large. It depends on where you put the knife blade. With the chisel blade it's the same every cut.

I told Dave I have about 10,000 counters to cut and asked about wearing out the plastic. He told me if I did that he give me a free replacement and a special mention on the most destructive counter cutter he knew (lol). That's pretty awesome for customer support.

For 20 bucks for me it's worth it.

I'll give a time of counter to cut later this evening. I need to go buy some more chisel blades.

So, I wonder two things: do you cut by simply pushing down, or by making a sawing motion? Also, isn't there a danger of the knife cutting into the plastic?
