A box cutter is a versatile cutter primarily used in crafts and simple cutting tasks. Its blade length can be adjusted to suit the material being cut, with larger and thicker blades being preferable for cutting through denser materials.
Box cutter blades are replaceable, and users can switch out a dull blade for a new one as needed. They come in two locking types: auto-locking and screw-turning, with grips typically made of rubber or resin.
Box cutters are ideal for cutting paper, cardboard, and thin plastic. Stronger blades can handle plasterboard and thin plywood. They are also commonly used in DIY projects, crafts, and for breaking down large trash items at home. In educational settings, these cutters are frequent tools in arts, crafts, and technology classes.
There are two main types of box cutter blades: standard and titanium-coated. Titanium-coated blades offer rust resistance and better sharpness. Box cutters designed for heavier work often feature rubber grips for easier handling.
The size of box cutterutter blades varies, with larger blades measuring about 25 mm in width and thicker blades having a 0.7 mm thickness, suitable for cutting cloth. General-purpose box cutters, commonly used in offices, have a blade thickness of about 0.38 mm and a width of around 9 mm, ideal for cutting paper and detailed work. Box cutters designed for crafts have a sharper angle at the cutting edge, providing better visibility and precision for intricate tasks.
