Description of the device:

The Thermocut 12/E cuts foam materials, such as polystyrene, with a max. 400°C hot wire. A wire, twistable into any shape, and the manifold adjusting possibilities of the retaining clip offer a high degree of flexibility and thus the greatest possible freedom while designing work pieces: The top holder can be set to different angles, and it is also possible to extend the levers: This gives you all of the possibilities to design the desired profiles.

The frame in the rear area was flattened making it possible to cut larger sheets: This requires less space and can be more easily inserted through the slot. The generous work piece height makes it possible to process thicker work pieces as well, or to manufacture broad profiles.

We provided an ergonomically shaped and comfortable pistol grip for precision guidance of the device, which also enables longer and effortless working. This makes the Thermocut 12/E excellently suited for designing railway dioramas, for work on architecture modelling, while constructing prototypes, etc.

The infinitely variable cutting wire temperature can be adapted to different conditions: With a bit of practice, an optimal cutting result is guaranteed.
