Robyn- Haven't tried that but I had thought about a using a paper trimmer. Like this
http://www.abcoffice.com/cut500.htm I think a cutter that scores would be better than a guillotine unless you're talking about very, very thin styrene. In my scratchbuilding, I use a good 18" steel ruler to line up my cuts and make sure to use new blades in my Xacto knife. I bought a box of 100 blades at an artist supply store as a way to get them cheaper and also to encourage myself to change blades often. For thicker styrene, I make a clean score and then snap the styrene to finish the cut. In some cases, I use drawings that I spray with a tacky glue so I can stick the drawings right on the styrene. Use my ruler to line up the cut, make the cuts, and then peel off the drawings.

Has anyone ever used a guillotine paper cutter to cut sheet styrene? If so, how well does the guillotine blade cut the styrene? Thanks, Robyn ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
