I've struggled cutting the fold slots to the proper width on scratchbuilds. Seems I get it too wide or too narrow no matter what. Out of necessity I made myself a cutter. Popsicle sticks, #11 blades, CA, and CA kicker. Super simple and so far works every time! Hope this helps someone.
The two middle sticks between the #11 xacto blades are glued together first, then have to be sanded to narrow the slot width slightly. You could do a much neater job making the tool than I did, but once it dulls it gets tossed anyway! I only use it to score or mark my slot, then I use a single blade cutter to deepen the scores.
