Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter THERMOCUT 115/E located in the Kao Innovation and Collaboration Studio

Foam Cutter

The Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter THERMOCUT 115/E cuts styrofoam and thermoplastic materials. The large table with 15 11/32″ x 11″ (390 x 280mm) ensures smooth and easy movement of the work piece. The solid aluminum overarm has a 13 3/4″ (350mm) throat and offers 5 1/2″ (140mm) in height. The holder and wire coil (one spool of wire 98ft., 0.008″ diameter is included) may be shifted and adjusted along the overarm to enable miter cutting. An LED indicates operation and thus reminds you not to touch the hot wire to prevent burns (the wire heats to a maximum in less than 1 second).
