Final results of my Wing Leader clipping. Played a couple games with my buddy the other day. Truly great game.

How did the clipper do? I think I have the same one.

Worked slick. It's not much faster than using nail clippers, but having uniform cuts makes all the difference.

With nail clippers its bound to go wrong every now and then. Or at least, less than perfect. Everyone even with a slightest OCD should definitely get the Oregon cutters instead  :smitten:

2.5mm?

That's what I have.


Thanks Mirth.  I just got a 2.5 in Deluxe for Christmas (to go along with my 2mm and 3mm Standards).  I was experimenting with it and I'm thinking that I'll stick with the 2 for the 1/2" counters.  The 2.5 works great for 5/8".  Anything larger and I'll use the 3.  Sort of wish that I got the Deluxe in 2mm though since I clip mostly 1/2" counters.  No biggie, I've used the Standards for 1000's of counters and it's worked just fine (the very occasional miscut).

I'd prefer the 2mm.  But there were quality issues with that size at the time I ordered, so I ended up getting a 2.5mm.  Works great too, if just a bit more rounded.

I have the 2.5mm as well and use it for all size counters really.

Maybe too large in size (3mm), but I decided to jump on the corner cutting holocaust and order a 3mm cutter today.

2.5mm is as high as I'd want to go. 

3mm may begin to make some of them start to look more circular overall.

I want to try it on some of my larger counters, and see where it goes. If it's too much I'll get a smaller one eventually.
