My $80 foam core cutter turned a simple box project into a disaster
I spent $80 on this fancy foam core cutter from a hobby shop thinking it would save me time making inserts for my game boxes. Instead, the blade skipped mid-cut and I carved a trench right through my precious copy of Terraforming Mars's lid liner. Now I'm stuck using cardboard scraps and hot glue to fix it. Has anyone else had a tool fail at the worst possible moment during a game upgrade?

Hot glue and cardboard is basically the universal backup plan. My Dremel decided to seize up halfway through cutting a custom hole for a dice tower in a foam core box. Smelled like burning toast and the bit just stopped spinning. Used a box cutter and a lot of swearing to finish it.
