What is a quick and easy way to cut 5/8" thick rubber tiles made
from recycled car tires?


(I have about 60 tiles to cut. A utility knife will take forever).


why not a Guillotine Paper Cutter


"... 5/8" thick rubber"? *Not in my location...


I've cut 1/4" plywood with mine, rubber should shear easily


Wood cuts easier than rubber. The bend-to-cut idea will work- I have
used similar cutting techniques before- but it will be slow. I'd set up
a jig with some 2x and plywood and use a saw. Projects like this are
what HF blades are for.

The tiles are not made from recycled steel-belted tires.

What are "HF blades"?
