- For free modelling in Styrofoam. No "crumbling" as found when working with traditional tools.
- Also for cutting free in thick Styrofoam sheets for Diorama model railway construction. For the manufacture of any profile.
- Other application areas: Architecture modelling, prototype construction, for designers, decorators, or for fine work on construction insulation. And of course for classical model building.
- Stable frame with pivotable fixing element at top and extendable lower wire fixing. Maximum total extension 200mm. Maximum work piece height 150mm.
- Cutting wire temperature infinitely variable. With a little practice, you can achieve optimum cuts depending on the material density and thickness. Usually at medium temperatures and without too much pressure. Heat-up time 1 second. Complete with five deformable cutting wires 285 x 0.85mm.
Technical data:
12V. 50W. Cutting wire temperature controllable from approx. 150 - 350 °C. We recommend MICROMOT mains adapters as of a capacity of 2A for operation.
- Cutting wires (285 x 0.85mm) can be shaped by hand or tongs to manufacture any profile.
- Pivotable fixing element at top.
- Extendable wire fixing for maximum extension of 200mm.
- Cutting temperature infinitely variable.
- Polarity-protected system plug for MICROMOT mains adapters.
With a bit of practice, creating landscapes even for finished railroads and streets is easy. It is also no problem to make corrections to model landscapes.
Note:
Styrofoam is an inexpensive material and very environmentally friendly as compared to other materials; it can be easily cut through with a hot wire. This material is sold in standard sheet sizes of 50 x 100cm and thicknesses of 2 to 16cm at almost all DIY centres and hardware stores.
