This aluminum cane slicer has a Lucite-Tuf work surface that
is free sliding. Length is 5-3/4 inches long, width is 2-1/4 inches, inside. This tool is very beneficial for cutting polymer clay cane slices at a 90 degree angle. Cane height needs to be 1-1/8 inch or less, and no longer than 5-1/2 inches. This tool would also be helpful cutting tube beads squarely. See our tube bead roller on the rollers page.
A ruler can be placed in front of the aluminum as long as it is thin enough for the work surface to slide over the top of it. It will be easy then to make each slice the same width.
