VLC 800 Vinyl and Laminate Cutter I 6939000 I The Professional Cutter for Vinyl and Laminate

Great tool does what it’s meant to do couldn’t rate it high enough and great value for the price

This cutter is specced up to 11mm flooring. I had 12mm planks from B&Q and was wary at first. However, with a little care and steady pressure during the cutting process, I achieved good results from it. As other reviewers will state, this does not cut, in the usual scissor sense, but rather it chops through a 3mm wide section of the boards and as a result there is always a degree of damage to the finished edge towards the rear of the cut. That means that you must always cut with the flooring plank facing upwards and you the cut downwards. I had no notable damage to the finished top surfaces of the boards at all as a result of using this tool. You need to be able to apply a good deal of force to the handle and keep this reasonably steady for the duration of the stroke. That said I had to pause and restart a couple of occasions and it was easy to restart the cut with care to ensure the board had not moved position and that you did not pounce on the lever initially but just applied force gradually increasing until the cutting restarted. The plastic anvil/stop which you have to clamp in place to secure the edge of the board for cutting, needs to be securely clamped in position. It also needs to be checked after each board in case it has moved back out of position. This happened to me without being noticed and resulted in a board almost getting ruined. I spotted it in time and was able to stop the cut, reset the anvil and then continue the cut successfully. Problem being that if this moves too far, the cutting blade will not reach the complete way across and stops almost full way across leaving too little material to then move the board back to adjust the anvil without risking breaking the remaining uncut board in two at the weak point!! Lesson learned!!! The smaller, cheaper version of this cutter cannot cope with boards greater than 8mm as it has a one piece blade and handle, stamped from 3mm steel plate. This one has a seperate blade and much beefier handle assembly to cope with the extra forces involved. For the extra money it gets my vote all day long. Oh, and the floor looks absolutely great down in the kitchen!!!

This looks like a cheap piece of cr*p. It looks like its been used, looking at the cut cable ties n the box and the scratches. I thought i was buying an aluminium frame base from the description THIS is cheap plastic. Not worth the money I paid for it, probably £30 at best for this quality

Easy to use, you do need a bit of strength cut through thick boards, I used it on 6mm thick LVT from amtico. It does cut about 5mm slice out of what you are cutting. Does save on dust and dirt from jigsaw eta.

Let me start with the most important thing in this (and in all model of all brands) wooden cutter. They don't "cut", they actually smashed approximately 5 millilitres of wood, resulting in two pieces Please see the video. For reference, the piece I cut in the video is a veneered (both sides) MDF panel of 4mm thick. I have cutted a 6mm without problem, and I suspect you can cut even thicker, however with 4mm is very easy and you don't need to be Hulk, and probably with 10mm you will have to apply all your weight to do it. The constructions is solid, high end aluminium and very resistant plastic for the legs (It has dropped a from almost 2 metres and not a single crack). The extra support for keep long pieces leveled is a plus. The weird mechanism of the articulated arm help a lot when pushing up the "blade", keeping the wood down. For my needs is perfect. It allow me to cut the pieces to a more manageable size, without the noise and dust of an electric saw. If you plan to use it for laminated floor, the cut is not "clean", but that would be the part that goes against the wall and covered by the skirting, so no need to be perfect.

This is a very expensive piece of equipment for something that has no mechanical moving parts whatsoever. I bought this thinking it would be easier than using a sliding mitre saw or jigsaw and to cut along the laminate. This machine is terrible to use. There's no laser level to keep you straight and after making 15-20 cuts, I didn't not get one cut bang on where I wanted it. While cutting planks down to size is straight enough, cutting along the plank when there's a slight angle is almost impossible. It's also pointless for cutting U's. When it cuts, it frays the wood behind the laminate quite badly and looks like it could ruin any water proofing applied to the wood as it's so frayed. This didn't make my life easier, I went back to using my mitre and jigsaw to cut far more accurately, clean cuts, and faster. The only pro is that it's less messy than a mitre or jigsaw. I will be returning this, my sliding mitre saw was cheaper.

Damn.. It took me a while to get his tool over to my part of the world without breaking the bank from Germany on Amazon. Either way I have it now and I am working with it to fit my floor. It really makes my life a bit easier as in I don't have to cut everything with a jigsaw or other cutting tool that creates tons of dust... As I am installing flooring at the moment in a apartment block with a fully furnished place, this thing makes like so much easier as in to leave the room and have to cut a flooring outside and what not.... Its a great tool and it's cutting thought my flooring like a hot knife through butter.. My laminate board is 12mm.

The product description states : "for almost all laminate types, including those with integrated footfall sound insulation, as well as click vinyl planks and self-adhesive vinyl tiles with a width of up to 465 mm" Also the box packaging promotes the same. In reality you can forget this product being of any use on vinyl planks, it is simply not meant to "cut" the vinyl plank material. The reason being that this "cutter" does not cut at all, it punches out a 4-5 mm gap, which is pushed out with force through the aperture as you press the handle down. This might work well on traditional laminate but is just terrible on vinyl planks as their composition is completely different. After some testing on vinyl planks, either use a sharp blade to score the plank or tile cutter and snap or use a hand saw or even a multi-tool. In conclusion I gave this product 3 stars as the product would work well on certain materials, however it is falsely advertised.

Premessa: Non sono nè un posatore professionista, nè lavoro nel campo dell'edilizia, ma penso comunque di avere una buona manualità. Dico questo perchè ho posato il laminato praticamente in tutta casa, e sicuramente la taglierina VLC800 mi ha dato una bella mano! Innanzitutto dico che il prodotto si presenta molto solido nei materiali e ben curato anche nei dettagli (vedi ad esempio la chiavetta a brugola con l'alloggiamento nel supporto per le tavole, per non perderla), completo (vedi la guida per tagliare il laminato di 55mm a mò di battiscopa, anche se io non l'ho usata), e di un livello superiore rispetto agli altri (l'impugnatura che non è tutto un pezzo con la lama, ma che si muove "a baionetta" è fantastica e fa fare meno fatica!) Sicuramente ci vuole un pò di forza per tagliare il laminato (il mio era da 8mm), però la lama, nonostante non sia assolutamente affilata, fa il suo lavoro egregiamente. La parte superiore della finitura del laminato risulta tagliata perfettamente, mentre la parte inferiore risulta un pò grossolana... ovviamente, però, questo non crea assolutamente nessun tipo di problema in quanto la parte tagliata è SEMPRE quella che finisce sotto il battiscopa, quindi anche se è un pò rovinata non si vede assolutamente nulla! La cosa migliore è che non fa assolutamente polvere ma lascia soltanto degli scarti che possono essere tranquillamente raccolti con la scopa. il fatto di poter tagliare e montare, tagliare e montare senza far polvere nè accendere una sega elettrica, velocizza notevolmente il lavoro! Unica nota stonata è il fatto che, nonostante abbia la possibilità di tagliare a 45°, il taglio non può essere fatto in un'unica volta, ma si deve tagliare una metà, alzare la lama, far scorrere il laminato e finire il taglio; questo non è molto pratico, ma d'altronde nessuna ghigliottina di questo tipo lo fa, anche perchè dovrebbe avere una lama lunga 50 cm! Questo per me è stato un pò un problema, perchè nell'ambiente più grande ho posato il pavimento proprio a 45°, quindi alla fine mi sono dovuto arrangiare con una sega circolare. In ogni caso mi sento di consigliarne l'acquisto, perchè ha una solidità ed un'efficacia che non mi sembra abbiano le altre taglierine in commercio. Allego qualche foto del lavoro, sperando possa darvi un'idea più precisa.

Przy grubszych panelach ale w ramach możliwości maszyny radzić sobie słabo

coupe parfaitement mais c'est trés sportif, il faut bien forcer mais au bout de la 20 éme ca commence a se faire ressentir !

Perfecto para mi proyecto
