Adhesive tape cutting tool for making tape of decreased width

thingiverse

Tool for cutting tapes, like adhesive tape, glow-in-the-dark tape, Kapton, copper tape etc. into thinner strips. Designed for 30, 25, 15, 10 and 5mm tapes. It can cut tape into half width for all sizes, and into 1/3 and 2/3 and 1/4 and 3/4 for all sizes except 10mm and 5mm. Just stick a fresh or not too beaten up utility knife blade in the correct slot and first push the tape in, and when it comes out the other side you can use that to pull it through. It's better for tape that comes with wax paper on the sticky side, but if it doesn't just face the glue up and keep tension to avoid it sticking on. Best used on cutting mat or wooden desk that you don't mind scratching. It's best printed upside down and with brim, as the working surface will be smooth and the remains of the brim will hold the knife in better (but it should stay itn even without that.
