I just cut 4 big fins (TLP Matra magic R550) using laminated 1/8 x 3" basswood ,finished size 1/8 x 6 " . Using my small Olfa knife and a new blade ,it took between 10 -12 passes to cut cleanly through the wood in a "crossgrain" direction.Cutting with the grain took half as many passes.Cutting 3/32 and 1/16 I use a combination og Olfa knife and Exacto w/ " 24 or 11 blade.
