Harvest blocks and sheets into usable box liners, stiffeners for photos. Styrofoam keeps
items rigid for shipping inside bubble envelopes and can increase the thickness to qualify for 1st class mail delivery confirmation
with the postal service (3/4") without adding significant weight.
These cutters are designed
to handle wall insulation sheets that are 47 3/4 wide (prepackaged from Lowes and Home Depot, home improvement stores) . Bow
(51")can be used free-hand to cut large or odd sizes down so you can fit them on the jig for accurate cutting. Bow has
a design feature that keeps the hot wire taught when it expands as it heats up. A slack wire will not make a straight or clean
cut. This Bow sized 48" cost more and more to ship than my other
item the 13" table top model and bow/jig.
For those of you in the construction industry,
yes, it cuts blue and pink foamboard. You may need the 48" lay flat cutter to handle up to the 96" long foam sheets
to cut across them.
It will not cut foil faced foam, danger, damage to tool WILL
OCCUR
These items are hot wire cutting bows. Hotwire Bow, Low Voltage plug-in Transformer ,
Instructions. You will have to make your own jig if you buy the bow only. Bow does not include a switch to turn it on
and off ( you can buy one of those that plugs into the wall and plug the transformer into it or a power strip with a switch)
Bow feeds by gravity to make a nice smooth square clean cut. Yes there is a wire in the picture from the tip to the handle,
hard to see in the digital picture.
NOTICE
This item takes up to 5 days before shipping. Each one is made one
at a time. A handling cost of $4 is part of shipping and handling as I have to buy a new 6x6x60 boxe to ship this in.
You don't have to spend $200 or $400 for commercial foam cutters. Stop trying to make long cuts with a hot knife.
You can't slice sheets off of blocks with a hot knife! (like slicing bread or cheese) Make perfect uniform thin sheets for
lining boxes, make light-weight stiffeners for fragile items like photographs, labels, art.
All units are shipped ready to use. I make them one at a time, they are functional, not pretty.
All sales are final, once
you receive the item, you obtain propitiatory intellectual knowledge of the item design which cannot be returned. Email
and phone support are offered.
My design is copied in plastic, but
not duplicated in quality and function in metal. I use mine (the prototype) every day for shipping.
