Using a Vinyl Plank Cutter

Vinyl plank cutters are among the easiest tools to use to cut vinyl plank flooring, making accurate and precise cuts easier than with other tools. While perfect for cutting vinyl planks, this tool can also be used on laminate and composite materials flooring.

Utilizing a utility knife for vinyl plank flooring cuts may not be as efficient, but they may still provide an efficient means of cutting vinyl planks if you do not possess one of the more efficient plank vinyl cutters. Box cutters are another effective method, though this requires more effort. Sharp utility knives must also be used and you may require applying considerable pressure while scoring the planks to score them accurately.

To prevent damage to vinyl flooring when cutting it, always use a blade with a high number of TPI (tooth per inch). This will help stop chipping or cracking during the cutting process and also ensure clean cuts; additionally use a miter saw with fine tooth blade to ensure clean edges when using miter saws to ensure correct installation of floor covering.
