Maintain the 30 Degree Angle on the Whole Cut

 

           Keep the handle parallel

           to the surface you are cutting

           and maintain an even (determined)

           cutting speed. (not too fast or too slow)

 

 

 

 

 

      Edge, Angle and Speed

 

          When all three are right

           the cut edge will be

           smooth and  undistorted.

 

 

 

 

          

                                                                          

                   

                                                                       

 In this microscopic view, you can see that

  the carpet fibers are cleanly cut

 with little distortion of the adhesive.
