Is there a hidden line (perforation) blade available?

As I'm sure you've read, the trimmer comes with 2 blades, a cutter and a scorer. The scoring blade does not make 'holes' that you would associate with " perforation ". I would guess that Westcott probably does make a PERF blade, but I don't know for sure; contact Westcott. I purchased the trimmer primarily for the scoring function, which works very well. It doesn't show in the pictures, but there is an arm that swings out, 90 degrees from the blade, for precise measurement. Great product.

There is a blue scoring blade on the Westcott Papter Trimmer, but I can't see that it does anything. I thought it might be used to easier fold greeting cards, but it had no effect on the paper.

If you mean to score ( so you can make a line for folding or bending) it is included, but no perforations. I don't know if one is available.

There is a "score blade" included. Is that what you are referring to? This will make perforated lines. I hope this helps.

Gary im sure there might be one as an option to buy, but my kit did not come with one, i just got the tool and the seller threw in a few extra cutting bits, thanks for your question tho, id research that a little more, im sure worse case scenario you could make a collar out of like pvc an attached it to the machine to allow you to guide it around a circle, maybe a rod to the center point (middle) or a string on a nail/screw and it would work sort of like a compass

Nope. I cut a slit in a 4" long piece of 1 1/4" PVC pipe and slip it over the blade. Works well.

No, not beyond a single sample. There are many blade options available on Amazon. Be sure to order several to save on shipping.

Not that I'm aware of. Just put the blade in, and there it is. Shaves really close, so be careful.

No. There is a small slider on the outside opposite the clip that you have to slide up to unlock the blade for closing. You can see it in the product picture.

Contact Gerber and show them that there is no blade. Or, you could sharpen it yourself..

Yes there is a spot a the top corner of the sheath where the blade can poke out. I have actually cut my self by the corner of the axe . I suppose you could use a needle and thread to close the gap. For the product being as fine as it is it would be worth the extra maintenance to me. Seriously this is the best axe /hatchet I've ever owned

Hello, Unfortunately no, we do not currently carry the blade that you are looking for. Sorry!

A section of old hack saw blade will work well. If necessary one could use a knife if nothing else is available. I prefer not to use my knife in such a way.

You just punch them out. There's a very fine perforated line already there and once you fold it back and forth it comes apart beautifully. You can't even tell it was perforated and not cut the scissors.

I did not find any. There are places that will tailor make them but they are expensive. I just made my own with styrofoam and a hot knife from Hobby Lobby.

As I recall it was tricky getting that blade in because something was obstructing it, but I can't remember what. I got it in after a few minutes of fiddling around though so if you don't have it in by now send me an email and I'll take the blade off and see what I have to do to put it back in john.hawley@wright.edu.

There is a small metal tab inside the slot where the blade folds into. Press against the tab to make room for the blade to slide in.

There is a small white plastic piece that covers the edge of the blade. It pushes out to expose the blade...its a safety feature.

You can. However anything thicker like foam core is not possible. It really is a matter of wanting to manipulate what is being cut, and with this type of blade, it is not possible.
