Re: stencil cutter
I've used a different brand, but it looks similar. Works very well for cutting contact paper or thin vinyl resist.
Re: stencil cutter
Yes I have, and it works very well. For me, it was a lot cleaner cut than I got using xacto knife. It was also a lot faster.
Re: stencil cutter
I use one. I stencil for airbrush mostly. I replace the cutting tip with a small brass round head bolt and use it to hold a sewing needle. I run it through a soldering iron temperature control at about half power that it doesn't overheat the needle and cause it to quickly lose temper. Even so, I replace the sewing needles after a few minutes of cutting because a sharp point makes for the most precise cut.
Re: stencil cutter
Buy extra tips (or use Don's trick). I don't have a resistor, so my iron is always on full heat. Anyway...I use a hone (those diamond plated hones you can get from Harbor Freight) and resharpen the tips as they dull.

I've only used this tool for cutting thin resist. An exacto is better for thicker resist or buttercut.
