Folks, I know this will sound a little crazy, but I'm trying to cut a piece of material with a utility knife and it just doesn't seem to be doing the job. Now this is a new blade, but let me explain what I'm cutting and how I'm cutting it and maybe the how and what are the problem.
I purchased a sheet of material I believe it's formica, the same stuff most counter tops are made from. I need to cut this to fit the end of the counter top I am using as a desk. The guy at the store said a utility knife should do the trick. I've made a few passes and then tried digging in to cut through, but seems the knife first of all wants to skid around on the surface and just scratch the material. I then tried a really sharp pair of scissors which did help, but weren't really sharp enough. Now I realize I could get my Dremmel or even possibly my jig saw out, but I really was looking for a manual non- powered tool for such a simple task. So, the question is, do they make scissors that could be used for cutting material like this or is a utility knife my best option? tnx Scott Howell [EMAIL PROTECTED]
