Chances are it is.!! . . But You'll know soon has you start cutting. . It gums up the cutter and gives a really bad finish if the feeds and speeds are not perfect.
When you have it wrong it tends to leave a torn like finish, mainly because thats whats happening. Because it's soft it's getting torn rather than cut away if the feeds and speeds arn't correct. . . . . Unfortunatly can't help much here has it's trial and error more often than not finding the right cutting conditions for this shity stuff.!!
The one thing I will say is don't take your eye of it for a minute because when it does start to gum up the cutter it happens very quick and with only a slight audible warning.!!
Cutting this stuff is the one time I do recommend you use absolutly loads of cutting fluid other wise it will gum up for sure.!!
