For architects, designers, artists, prototype construction, insulation and last but not least for classic model making (trains, planes, ships).
For cutting polystyrene, rigid foam, polyurethane, PU foam and thermoplastic foils. The cutting wire temperature is preselected to suit the material using the practical rotary knob and kept constant electronically while working with the device. In addition to the screw clamp, the scope of delivery includes a spool with 30 m cutting wire Ø 0.2 mm.
For cutting polystyrene or rigid foam, hot wire cutters are far superior to all other tools such as knives and saws. It is important to determine the correct temperature depending on the material and thickness. This can be done by feel and practice. An optimum cutting pattern is usually achieved at a medium temperature and moderate pressure. Support surface with hole for screw clamp enables stationary use. Also practical for cutting standard polystyrene sheets (100 x 50 cm).
