Will this cut heavier quality poster board?

It will cut regular poster board, not just the real thin stuff. Use a quick, firm stroke. It also helps to pull the cutting blade slightly toward the wooden bed as you cut.

tough to do.It is stainless steel so you will need the right tools. cutting it will compromise the integrity of its hanging abilities since, on the back, it has a protruding frame that wraps around the whole board (kind like a clock has a hole for hanging on nails...picture that, but hollowed out. just a border)

It easily punches through cardboard, I'm not sure if it would tear lighter weight paper. It is a heavy tool and a little clumsy to use on cardboard. It is better for metals, I use it on coins and metal stampings for jewelry making. I love this tool!

I wouldn't think so. It's for a rough-cut sort of use for packaging and wrapping. You'd need more of a sliding sharp blade device. I sell fine art prints and this would NOT be an option. If you don't have many to cut, get a nice cork-backed metal ruler and an X-acto blade.

I have used it to cut foam core up to 1/2" for my interior design boards, but that's as thick as I've had occassion to cut. I believe you can adjust the depth of the blade up to an inch though.

I really don't know. I have never tried. I would use OOK Professional Picture Hangers for your very heavy art-they come in sizes up to 100 pounds, and I can tell you from experience that they do the job.

Hmmm. Sure, if you have the right tools! It is not one flat surface; it has a "lip" which is great for hanging but probably not great for cutting.

The blade is no stiffer/sturdier than an Xacto blade. I'm not sure about the composition of museum board, but if we are talking standard paper chipboard (and not the wood/particle board stuff) you could probably manage some scoring at best and cutting would kill the blades fairly quickly.

I would say no. I don't see how the poster could be attached, and the product leaves a slightly rough cut edge. I would suggest an office cutting board. The type that cuts the heaver mil paper into post cards.

It will score and cut chipboard if you can pass down firmly enough. I've used it on the white sided chipboard.

That will work. I've used mine to cut Matt board so 70lb paper will be no problem!

I have not tried it on anything other then packaging tape on shipping boxes, mailing bags and some thin paper. I'm thinking its not designed to cut heavy cardboard.

Sir! I used this little machine in solid pine and 1/4" plywood where the cut quality did not matter. Seems to be cutting ok., but you might need to change the blade to get better cut, such as more tooth on the blade.

I would say yes. I have cut the 2-ply chip board with it and that was what I bought it for and it has done well.

I'm using it with a 17 X 23 whiteboard and it works very well. So, you should be fine with your poster frame.

Yes, it will take any of the screws used with this tool, it's just has a narrower spacing between boards, 1/16 vs 3/16 of an inch.

I am not sure that this will do the job you are hoping to do...I have heard of the foam knifes being used to cut stamps, but the ones I have heard of doing so are hot knifes. This cuts foam board well because it has the blade for the paper and the heat for the foam. I think you need more heat than what this will give you.
