    Four and sometimes eight. It depends on what I'm cutting it for.

    I have done 8 but that requires too much effort. Usually I cut 4 - sometimes just 2.

    Six works best for me with a 45mm blade. Any more than that I my cuts get a little wonky.

    It really depends on the cutter for me. I have a small, medium, and large. The large can do 8.

    I've cut my 1.5" squares for swapping in 8 layers. Didn't have a problem.
