Zusammenfassung:A tool useful with a flexible profile molding, for example a window film securement article having a self-adhesive coating. The tool includes a housing, a blade assembly and a cutting plate. The housing defines a cavity. The blade assembly is coupled to the housing and includes a blade disposed within the cavity. The cutting plate is selectively mountable to the housing, and includes a first profile and an optional second profile projecting from opposite faces of a platform. When present, the second profile is different from the first profile. Each profile is configured to retain a flexible profile molding in a flexed cutting condition during a cutting operation. In a first cutting state, the cutting plate is arranged such that the first profile faces the blade. In an optional second cutting state, the second profile faces the blade. The blade can be flat, with the cutting plate profile(s) dictating an arrangement of the flexible profile molding conducive to forming a curved miter cut with the flat blade.
