Used to cut Styrofoam and thermoplastic materials, both freehand and with stencils. Note: Styrofoam is a reasonably priced material and compared to others environmentally acceptable. Ideal for architectural models, prototypes as well as classic railroad, plane and boat model building. The large base with 15 23/64″ x 11 1/64″ (390 x 280 mm) table ensures smooth and easy movement of the work piece. The printed grid and protractor assist with division and cutting. Solid aluminum over arm has a 13 25/32″ (350 mm) throat and offers 5 33/64″ (140 mm) in height. The holder and wire coil (98 ft, .008″ diameter is included) may be shifted along the over arm to enable miter cutting. An LED indicates operation and helps prevent burned fingers (the cutting wire heats to the maximum temperature in less than 1 second). Note: The correct temperature, being dependent on material and thickness, is learned from experience. Optimum profiles are cut at lower temperatures and cutting force.
