how many layers of material can it cut through?

With a new blade you can cut through 4 to 6 depending on material thickness ,jean material 2

It can be cut with just a normal pair of shears. As I mentioned, I used mine for metal clay work sheets so I have my large piece all cut into various smaller pieces.

Yes, it won't just blow through it, but it will cut it. If you're cutting a lot of it, a band saw would work better.

It's a great tool, but I dont know that Id try and cut through .75" of material.. I cut 1/4" mdf core birch ply and it was pretty great but slow.. It is however a fantastic versatile tool.. And highly recommend it to anyone.

I cut around 50 4" holes in two sheets of 1/2" ply clamped together. Takes about 45-sec to get through the 1" not pushing hard. Let the cutters do the work. I also just cut two 5" holes in 20 gauge steel with the same blades. Still sharp

Yes, this device will more than handle any cut through wood. For a tougher metal cut however you may need to put a high speed steel or carbide bit into it. Different style cutting tools will be needed for the various cuts you're talking about. I would recommend eye/ face protection; this product it's very powerful.

You could cut it down to size. It is made of very heavy rubber and it is about an inch thick, so it will take a little effort to cut. I would recommend you use a heavy duty utility knife with a sharp / new blade in it for a clean cut. This way will most likely still take several passes trying to cut through it because of the thickness. I'm sure you could use other tools to cut it as well.

I would get two sets and cut one in half with 3 clips on one side and 2 on the other. Then you can layer it 2,3,5 clips

it will def slice more than one at a time i would guess 3-4 depending on the size. i really love mine

I would say that they are limited to about a 2-3 in depth. A 4x6 would be too much for a through cut.

I have used them for cutting three layers of denim. They would certainly cut through two layers of felt. I do not think they would easily cut through more.

The saw comes with three blades. I would use the standard carbide-tipped blade. It will cut through plexiglass up to 3/8" thick pretty easily.

Though I don't personally make cards to know for certain, I do believe this one could handle it because I can cut approximately 5-8 sheets of paper at a time depending on the thickness. I've cut more in a hurry but the cut isn't as straight or clean going with too many.

I don't believe its metal lined (structure-wise). A good pair of industrial scissors should be able to cut the material. Although, I might use a sharp utility knife.

More than enough but I wouldnt do it. The disk turns too fast to control the cut on the edge. Get a diamond saw blade - it's designed to do that kind of cut.

I once asked Silhouette about a special material and this is part of their reply, maybe this helps with your question: "The Silhouette has a cutting force of 210gf and includes a blade that can extend to approximately 1 mm in depth to accommodate thicker material types. However, there is still a limitation depending on the material type's density and make up. Certain materials that are overly dense (such as thin metals or acetate, for example) may not be able to be cut well or at all and can impair the blade. Certain materials that have abrasive natures (such as thicker chipboard or sandpaper) may also impair the blade or dull it very quickly. On the other side of the spectrum, certain fibrous materials (such as select felt materials or handmade papers) may not be held together densely enough for successful cutting."

I don't think it would cut very well. It has a magnetic strip on the inside that is glued on so you would have to cut through that. The other material is a very hard plastic that might splinter
