The line to use the cutter is usually 5-6 deep. I feel like we could have 20 of them and they'd still be constantly running. The fifth graders made 3d initials with it and it was so handy for the tight spots like the hole in the \"A.\" The sixth graders are making original abstract art pieces, and the younger kids are constantly asking when they get a turn. I wish I had storage for every class to use it at the same time.\r\n\r\nI plan to use the cardboard screws to make houses and cars with the littler kids in the spring.
