## Description

Product description Achieve clean cuts with a cutting wire temperature of 360°F, ensuring your projects look their best The Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter Thermocut. The large table with 15 11/32" x 11" (390 x 280 mm) and the working surface of the Aluminum Cobond compound ensure smooth and easy movement of the workpiece. The printed grid and protractor assist with division and cutting. The solid aluminum overarm has a 13 3/4" (350 mm) throat and offers 5" (140 mm) in height. The 5 1/2" holder and wire coil (98 ft, 0.008" diameter is included) may be shifted and adjusted along the overarm to enable miter cutting. An LED indicates operation and helps prevent burnt fingers (the cutting wire heats to the maximum temperature in less than 1 second). The correct temperature, being dependent on material and thickness, is learned from experience. Optimum profiles are cut at lower temperatures while applying less cutting force.

Review: This item performs its function quite well and is relatively easy to use ... - UPDATE: I bought this device 5 years ago. During a recent relocation, it appears to have been damaged (motherboard not working). I had little hope of making it work again for a reasonable price. I wrote to Proxxon realizing there's no way it's still under warranty, but asking if I could please purchase just the circuit board. They were SO helpful. They didn't have the board in stock, but offered me the entire control module (hidden underneath the bed) for the same price as the circuit board. This includes a huge transformer and wiring harnesses, etc. The price was very reasonable as was the shipping charge. As if that's not enough, when I forgot to phone in my payment info for a couple days (work distractions), their staff emailed and called me to remind me that it was packed and ready to ship if I would just phone them with CC info. I was very very pleased. =================================================================== I want to say up front that cutting foam with a hot wire is not as simple a proposition as it might appear. There is a learning curve. You will break the wire occasionally. You will learn when to use higher temps and when not to, etc. Having said that, this device really helps you do as good a job as your skill level will allow. It functions much like a table saw and is solidly built with quality materials. It comes with a spool full of wire. I'm not sure I will ever exhaust the entire spool (I only use this machine for about 10 cuts / years). I would highly recommend this to people who intend to frequently cut complex shapes and bevels from Foamular or other foams materials -- demanding hobbyists, budding professionals. If you are a foam-cutting specialist in a busy shop and all you do is cut foam all day -- maybe look for a heavier-duty machine. But if you are a frequent user and cutting is perhaps 20% or 50% of your time, and you are cutting combinations of straight, curve, and bevel cuts, then this machine is a great place for you to start. Best wishes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I need a Transformer for this?**
A: No. Transformer is inside, just plug into the wall and start cutting.

**Q: Can this cut the type of spongy - charcoal looking foam used in pelican cases? The same stuff as the acoustic foams.**
A: That's exactly what I use mine for. A couple years ago my next door neighbor gave me half a dozen 3'x6' boxes of tight closed cell foam. Been making custom cutouts for friends until I deplete my foam supply. But hot wire cutters are useful for many other tasks.

 I was already a big fan of Proxxon tools, their rotary tool makes Dremels look like toys.

**Q: Will it cut polyurethane foam, the material a fun noodle is made of?**
A: I'm pretty sure those pool noodles are made of polyethylene foam which is a thermoplastic.  Since the cells are thin walled, a 360° cutter might work.  Polyurethane is a thermoset material - and a hot wire might burn it's way through foamed urethane and not melt it as intended, but wouldn't be good for cutting planks or blocks of polyurethane.  This would probably work best for polystyrene (and styrofoam), ABS plastic, low density polyethylene, and possibly thin low MW polypropylene.

**Q: What fumes are generated by the cutter and/or foam? What ventilation are you recommending? This is to be used in a university studio classroom.**
A: We use ours for 1/2 hour or so at a time and have no problem with fumes.  There is very little noticeable smoke or odor.  But if one used it continuously, there might be a need for some external ventilation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Styrofoam cutting tool! ... But if your wire won't heat up?
*by S***E on February 25, 2013*

Actually much better than I expected. Fantastic, really! Works just like the YouTube videos show. But beware ... Instruction manual is not so good at explaining setup proceedures. I thought I had assembled mine exactly as the instructions stated, but the wire wouldn't heat up. Hmmm... Looked underneath and there was a red wire with one end not connected to anything! Instructions said only to, "Fasten the cable 2 to the overarm with screw 3," shown in Figure 1. The real machine does not have the hookup as shown in the illustration nor was there a screw included as is shown. After much frustration, I noticed a tooled screw hole on the very end of the underside of the arm. I happened to have a small electrical screw that fit perfectly in the hole. I clamped the red wire with my screw into the tooled hole on the end of the arm... worked perfectly! If yours came without this screw, you may have to contact technical support, which is also great, by the way. The wire heats up instantly. I use mine for cutting styrofoam for shipping. Make fast work out of the biggest or smallest job. Before, it was like a major snow storm in my shop when I had to cut shipping material. Now... how many ways can I say how great this machine is! Intricate cuts? No problem. It's accurate and fast. The guide does an amazing job for straight cuts. Oh, I also had problems attaching the guide. The manual doesn't tell you, but you need to take the center thumb screw completely out, slip it into the guide into the groove along the table, then screw down the thumbscrew. I wish the manual was a little more detailed, but the machine is A-1. I hope this helps anyone who is thinking about returning unit (as I did) because they couldn't get it to work.
