Mumbles Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 It's pretty easy to do once you get the hang of it. I liked using a small holder for the razor blades. I found it was easier on my hand if I was slicing a bunch, and it made it a little easier to keep things straight. It has the added advantage of being an in situ stop if you find one with the right exposed length. This wasn't what I had, but this is the general idea. http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-28-100-Visibility-Mini-Razor-Scraper/dp/B0006JJS30/ref=pd_sim_sbs_328_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=410Mrxufr1L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1BYHF1WDS27RC0WJ9QHJ 1
dusty56 Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I found it a help to take a block of wood and drill a hole slightly larger then the fuse and deep enough to leave about my desired slit length above the wood. I actually drilled holes on both ends at different depths. This supports the fuse and frees both hands to make the slit. I have also used my fuse cutters to make the slit. "Blade-anvil type". put a mark with a marker at your desired depth on the blade.
frederick Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I found it helps to use a knife, cut many with just the blade, but the handle sure helps. Plunge from the tip as Lloyd suggests and it walks right in perfectly with just a bit of guidance. This is the one I purchased...http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-10-280-Quick-Point-Snap-Off-Knife/dp/B000056HE8 Thin blades that you can snap off to a fresh edge when needed, and they are inexpensive.
