Used to cut styrofoam and thermoplastic materials, MICROMOT both freehand and with stencils.
The working surface now of Alu Cobond compound. This eases the pushing of work pieces. A printed grid and protractor are applied to the base. Ideal for architectural models, designers, decorators, artists (teaching too), prototypes as well as classical railroad, plane and boat model building.
NOTE: Styrofoam is a cheap material compared to others and does not harm the environment. It is easily available in art, craft, hobby and similar shops.
NOTE: The unit's double wound transformer and insulation to class 2 ensure the cutter is absolutely safe. The cutting wire operates at 10V, 1A. The large base with 390 x 280mm table with surface of Alu cobond compound ensures compound smooth and easy movement of the workpiece. The printed grid and protractor ease division and cutting. Solid aluminium overarm has a 350mm throat and offers 140mm capacity in height. The holder and wire coil (30m, 0.2mm diameter is included) may be shifted along the overarm to enable mitre cutting. A LED indicates operation and prevents burnt fingers (the cutting wire heats to maximum in less than 1 second).
NOTE: The correct temperature, being material type and thickness dependent, is learnt from experience. Optimum profiles are cut at lower temperatures and cutting force.
Double function fence with lockable feed bar (German Patent 100 00 102.5).
Crosscuts are achieved by means of a simple yet efficient solution: Secure drawing-pin to table by means of tape, it serves as a fixed centre.
