I came across this in a Reel from a diorama maker. I would like to know the name of it, and if anyone has used one and if they work on styrene strip. If so, I'd like to get one.

From a big box hardware place, the description says it will cut PVC and other molding materials. Since it is a chopping type of tool, not a saw, I presume it would crush tubing but work for solid stock.

Unless you have to cut very thick plastic profiles, I’d recommend getting a cutting station instead. Albeit significantly pricier, some cutting stations (like those from DSPIAE) have adjustable angle guides for precise and consistent cuts.

Just like with any chopping tool, there is a chance on thicker cuts that the cut will not be perpendicular to the top/bottom surfaces of the part being cut.
