|
|
Bob, Olfa is a brand of utility cutter. They produce
several different models. The most common are the
small (about 3/4") snap off blade razor knife and the
large razor knife (about 1").
The P-800 that we are using for straight and slightly
curved cuts is primarily designed for scoring acrylic
sheet. I am away from home otherwise I would attach a
picture. The scoring tip of the blade is not really
all that sharp. Not like a razor knife. It is kind
of at backwards angle. Here is the link to the Olfa
website

Hope it works. If not, go to the Olfa main page and
search the P-800. Thats what I did to get the link.
You can buy it right from there.
The blade is tungsten carbide or some such material
and I have used one blade so far and it still cuts
like new. My fuse is on the gear and the tail is
ready for mounting and the wing skeletons are made
(just to give you an idea about how much alum it has
cut)
Hope this info helps
