Styrene cutting - Looking for latest tips

[BrianK]

Hello. I've read so many topics on this forum, including the ones on Styrene cutting. While my question about *can* it be done has already been answered, I'm now really focused on how long the blades would last. I'd love to hear Updates from the users here that have been doing a lot of Styrene cutting.

I'm a prospective buyer, and I'd want a Silver Bullet *primarily* for cutting styrene. The thicker the better, but from what I've read it seems like I'd be best off sticking with the 0.20 and 0.30 thicknesses. With blades costing around 20 dollars a pop, I'd hate to be wearing them down after a few uses.

So, if I'm mainly doing Styrene 0.30 sheet cutting, is a Silver Bullet the right machine for me? I would hate to be replacing blades every few cuts. Scoring and snapping pieces off is not what I'm after since I'd like to do intricate work that would not work with that method.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
