For architects, designers, artists, prototyping, insulation, and not least for classic model building (railway, aircraft, ship). For cutting polystyrene, rigid foam, polyurethane, PU foam, and thermoplastic films. The cutting wire temperature can be conveniently preset using the practical rotary knob according to the material and is electronically maintained at a constant level during operation. The delivery includes a clamp and a spool with 30 m of cutting wire with a diameter of 0.2 mm. For cutting polystyrene or rigid foam, hot wire cutting devices are vastly superior to other tools such as knives and saws. It is important to determine the right temperature depending on the material and thickness. This is achieved through feel and practice. An optimal cutting result is usually achieved at medium temperature and moderate pressure. The support surface with a hole for the clamp allows for stationary use. It is also practical for cutting standard polystyrene sheets (100 x 50 cm). Technical specifications: 230 V, 50/60 Hz, 60 W. Secondary voltage max. 40 V, 1.2 A. Cutting wire temperature adjustable from 100 - 350 °C for wire diameter 0.2 mm. Weight 850 g. The device is double insulated according to Class 2.
