Hi all! Our old Martin Yale stack cutter uses an oddly sized cutting stick and unfortunately our current resource for them isn’t able to remake that size anymore. Google has been helpful but I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a company that could help us with custom sized cutting sticks? Thank you!
Contact a plastic dealer with your dimensions.
We use scrap acetal plastic (Delrin) cut down with a table saw on our cutters.

…or you can do like we do in my shop: I use hardwood sticks, and always have.
It’s fairly easy to have a local cabinet shop mill red oak, maple, or poplar (whatever is available locally) down to thickness, and then rip them to width on a table saw.
My old Reliance cutter makes beautiful cuts with cheap oak sticks…. and they last quite a long time.
winking cat press- that’s so interesting you mention that. Our stack cutter (a 100+ years old) came with a wooden cutting stick and a little one page manual we found mentions hard maple as the cutting stick. We’re trying to replace it since nobody makes replacement blades either, and we’re on the last sharpening of it, so maybe going back to the wood sticks until the blade dulls is the best solution. Thanks! Now if only we could find a nice old Reliance cutter (or anything close) we’d be all set!
LA Grinding, bought them there since forvever
Cutter blades are not hard to get. Look up “machine knife.” I am in Canada and this is the one I use. They are nice to deal with.

If you found a nearby company maybe you could bring in the old blade and just add 1/2” or 3/4” to it, or whatever your cutter will take. Better yet, if you had someone who could make a CAD drawing of it, you could email the drawing to them.
Plastic cutting sticks are easy to get as well. If you Google Cutting sticks, many sources will show up.
