Solid carbide end mills are ideal for machining fiber-reinforced composites like carbon fiber, fiberglass, G10, and micarta; our “diamond” style end mills are designed for effective roughing and profiling of abrasive composites without surface delamination. Polished flutes reduce friction and workpiece temperature, while “diamond” design and high flute count provide better chip evacuation and ramping capabilities. The “fishtail” ends, with their double flute design, produce a flat surface at the bottom of the workpiece.

If you’ve cut plastic before, you know that finding the best tool for cutting plastic can be challenging. Cutting plastic is not just about getting the job done. You need to find the right tool, so you can cut safely and get a good clean cut.

The best tool for cutting hard plastic is a saw or a piece of string. Hard plastic can be thin or thick but differs from the rest because of its brittleness. Hard plastic examples include plastic pegs and plastic toys.

Using the wrong tool can result in a poor cut, and can also be dangerous. Before we get into the best tool for cutting plastic, here are some of the worst tools for cutting plastic.

A utility knife is the best option because it provides a good grip and control. A utility knife works in a similar way to scoring glass. It creates a shallow cut in the plastic, which makes it easy to either break the plastic or cut through completely.

Cutting brittle hard plastic with the wrong tool can result in a fractured or broken edge. Using a saw or a piece of string depends on the size of the cut, cut direction, and the level of precision.

The best tool for cutting thin plastic (¼ inches or less) is a utility knife. Examples of thin plastic are plastic banding, plastic packaging, and plastic sheets.

If you prefer a traditional handle, the 10490 Manual Metal-Handle Utility Knife comes with a thinner 10524 Utility Blade and has optional 10525 and 10523 blades.

The best tool for cutting thick plastic (thicker than ¼ inches) is a saw. Thick plastic examples are plastic piping, plastic skirting, and Perspex sheeting. The three best types of saws for cutting thick plastic are a fine-toothed saw, a jigsaw, and a table saw.

Recommended for roughing operations, our solid carbide end mills have an extended lifespan, making them a reliable and cost-effective choice for carbon fiber machining.

Slice® manufactures some of the safest utility knives on the market. For cutting through thin plastic, we recommend our range of utility knives, including the 10558 Smart-Retracting Utility Knife, the 10554 Auto-Retractable Utility Knife, or the 10550 Manual Utility Knife.

Since not all types of plastic that you use will be the same, we recommend trying different tools. Make a small cut with each tool to see which one gives you the best result. You may need to combine multiple tools to get it right.
