Default Cutting Chipboard?

I bought some chipboard from Dickblick....I am not sure of the thickness...but it is way to thick to cut with scissors. Does anyone know a good tool to use for cutting it?

Thanks!

Jen

a lot of people use their sizzix cutter (the big one) ... not sure what other ones are big enough to get through chipboard...

I Make lots of handmade books of chipboard so I am cutting straight lines. I use a metal ruler as a guide and a hand held rotary cutter like they use to cut fabric for quilting. Works great but keep your fingers away from the edge of the ruler!

How thick is your chipboard? I would say my is about 1/4" or maybe a little less but not much.
