It's the 3M straight cut blade on my M3,000 handmasker. I'll show you how to just set it up and load it up from start to finish. If you've never seen this thing load it up, just this thing just snaps out of the end of your plastic right here, so you could use it for paper also, if you wanted your paper to be cut perfectly straight every single time, so I'm just going to load it up just like I typically would load up a 3M handmasker right here. The plastic or paper is going to come over the top of your roll. Just going to stick this on my masker, just like that. I'm going to get my plastic pulled out right there, just a little bit. I'm going to take my roller tape, roller tape is going to come over the top, so tape comes over the top. I'm just going to slide that on, make sure it's on all the way. Now your tape just comes underneath the pen that's sticking out right there. I'm going to set it on top, my plastic, run it underneath the guide right here. I'm going to pull it out. Now everything's set, ready to go, other than my stabilizer right here, I'm going to push that in. Now it's ready to rip and tear it perfectly straight. If you've ever used one of these things, let us know what you think about it. It's an awesome little tool, an accessory, to always get straight cuts on your paper or plastic. It's a plastic blade that comes with a straight cut blade, but the plastic blade will also cut paper. It's an extremely sharp blade, so you don't have to have a sharp blade to cut paper, but I use the plastic blades for cutting paper and plastic. I don't keep paper blades on any of my maskers. I only use plastic. Once again, these can be sharp, can be dangerous. They can cut you so be careful when using plastic blades. There you have it. The 3M straight cut blade, let us know what you think about it down in the comment section below.
