Here is my problem:
I’m afraid it wont cut the slots straight = perpendicular and will emerge out, how to make it perfect?
Thanks

First off, let the cutter do the work. If you try and force it there is a chance the blade could deflect. GP also sells a guide tool that helps keep it centered and straight. Bottom line is just take your time and make sure everything is straight.

I've found that it works best if you mark where you want the hinge with the tool that was mentioned avove.. then, turn on your slot cutter and place only the left or right "corner" of where the cutting happens into your balsa first, then slide the rest of the blade in carefully..
