Features

  • Designed for Young Makers & Creative Play: Empower kids to bring their ideas to life while encouraging hands-on creativity, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning.
  • Safe, Fun, & Easy to Use: Unlike box cutters and scissors, the ChompSaw has no sharp blades or spinning parts to keep kids safe!
  • Perfect for STEAM Learning: Great for DIY projects at home, classrooms, libraries, and makerspaces.
  • Cut with Precision: Just lift the lid to find your power supply, plug in the power cord, and start creating! The ChompSaw is ready to use right out of the box and designed to cut most materials softer and thinner than 3mm cardboard (roughly 2 pennies tall!) To guarantee our machine is safe for little fingers, the ChompSaw is limited to 3mm thick cardboard, think your average delivery box. For the best experience, score or compress thicker cardboard first and apply consistent, downward pressure while cutting.
  • Trusted by Parents, Teachers & STEAM Educators: The ChompSaw is more than just a toy, its a learning tool that helps kids develop fine motor skills, coordination, and engineering thinking. Used in STEAM programs, summer camps, and workshops, its an educator-approved way to teach power tool safety and inspire the next-generation of inventors.
  • Join a Growing Community of Makers: Chompshop was founded by graduates of the Integrated Product Design Masters program at UPenn and its a small business dedicated to inspiring creativity. Were here to help your makers every step of the way visit our website for video tutorials, project patterns, and full-access to our customer support team.
  • Safety Certified for Peace of Mind: The ChompSaw meets rigorous safety standards, including ASTM F963, CPSC, CPSIA, and CA Prop 65 compliance for a fun and worry-free experience.
  • The ChompSaw runs at about 7075 decibels, similar to the volume of a household vacuum. If your child is sensitive to noise, we recommend using ear protection. Saftey gear like earmuffs and googles (though not at all necessary) can be a fun part of the experience and help kids to feel like real builders while teaching power tool safety.
  • Purchase of a ChompSaw is backed by a 1-Year Warranty and hassle-free returns.

  • Works amazing
I love this! I bought it for my high school students. Most of them prefer to use exacto knives and the paper cutter, but this is great for Students who want to cut swirly shapes. It is super easy to use, and catches the cardboard dust so it doesn’t leave a mess. It’s near impossible to hurt yourself on this thing. I even touched the cutter part with my own hand while it was turned on to see, and it has a safety so it didn’t even scratch me. Kids could touch it all they want and they can’t cut themselves. I wouldn’t tell them to do that because they should learn cutting safety…. But it’s nice to know that if they have an accident then there won’t be any consequences. This is also great for my special Ed students who are lower functioning, when I don’t want them using sharp objects. It’s also good for high schoolers who don’t have as much hand strength for an exacto knife. It is very lightweight, portable, and easy to store. It is very easy to use. I like to have them practice with it first. I also appreciate that this model doesn’t look like it’s for children. If it looked like a toy then teens wouldn’t use it. ... show more

  • Perfect Christmas gift

  • Awesome tool!
I purchased this for my husband who wanted it to make battle fields for DND. He absolutely loves it and has enjoyed getting creative with it. He runs it for long periods of time without it overheating. It was expensive but worth the price.

  • Awesome safe tool
Straight out of the box, this tool is ready to use! Don't forget that the power cord is under the "tabletop" of the saw. There is a small storage area there for the power supply and a few tools. I teach PreK, and l cannot wait to give my students a chance to try this tool. It is very safe and kid friendly. I first saw this Chompsaw at a STEAM workshop. I visited with the workshop leader, and she said these tools are very durable and low maintenance. There saws were over a year old. I used mine to cut out a letter S. I could easily maneuver the cardboard around the curves. I plan to use it for myself to make some manipulatives for my classroom. I also plan to let my 4-5 year old students to cut shapes with it, with supervision. I wish my own kids could have played with this when they were young!! (I tried to take a picture of the S l made, but it would not work. I got tired of being kicked out and having to type the review) ... show more

  • A Preschool Favorite for Creative, Hands-On Play!
We absolutely love the ChompSaw at our play-based cooperative preschool! It’s been such a wonderful addition to our classroom. The children are fascinated by how it works and feel so proud to safely “cut” their own cardboard for creative building projects. It’s the perfect mix of hands-on learning, STEM exploration, and imaginative play. The ChompSaw is easy for young children to use, completely safe, and inspires endless opportunities for collaboration and problem-solving. Our students have used it to create everything from forts and vehicles to pretend play setups and sculptures. It’s durable, well-designed, and encourages upcycling in such a fun and meaningful way. We highly recommend it for any early childhood program or family that values creativity, open-ended play, and real-world learning! ... show more

  • It’s loud but does a great job.
I watched a lot of videos before deciding to invest in this cardboard cutter since it was so pricey. Nowhere does it mention how loud this thing is! I took off one star for the noise. Regardless, my kids have gotten used to it and wear ear plugs like it’s dad’s power tools. They are able to cut pretty cool projects with them. The item is sturdy and made well. I love that it is safe to use and my kids won’t need to use box cutters and scissors to create cardboard art! ... show more

  • Classroom APPROVED
I’m a 4th grade teacher and got one of these for our cardboard engineering projects— it’s a game changer. The intricate parts kids could never make are now possible— we’re now saving up for a second one since it works SO WELL! We make Caine’s Arcade games, baked egg drops, and Rube Goldberg machines and now the sky is the limit. Amazing machine— and the reservoir holds PLENTY of debris to use for hours on end. The safety is top-notch, especially for a classroom. After a quick safety training, the 9- and 10-year olds take to this thing like moths to a flame (but without injuries!). ... show more
