I have to say I'm surprised. When I saw the size of the system, I thought it wouldn't work. And then a total surprise. I cut 8cm insulation boards and after a little practice with high precision. Well, I don't have to equip a whole house with it. For our p...

ResponseThe lifespan of the cutting wire depends heavily on the material and the chosen temperature. The supplied 5 m wire is intended as replacement material and is sufficient for several changes. (Roughly calculated: With a usual wire length of approx. 30-40 cm for the bracket, this results in approx. 12-16 replacement wires.)

ResponseThe WHS is primarily designed for hard foam materials and foils. Other plastic sheets could behave differently depending on the material composition and thickness, as the hot wire is optimized for the melting behavior of hard foam.

ResponseThe WHS has a temperature range of 260 to 680 °C. For thick Styrofoam sheets, choose a higher temperature for a faster and cleaner cut. Start with a medium setting and adjust it according to the material and cutting speed.

ResponseThe adjustable column is used to set the cutting height up to a maximum of 175 mm. Processing materials that are thicker than the maximum cutting height by turning the workpiece requires a lot of practice and can affect the cutting precision.

ResponseThe device is specially designed for hard foam materials and films. It is only conditionally suitable for softer foams, as the cut may not be as precise.
Anja

ResponseThe WHS has an angle division for 45, 60, 75 and 90 degrees. Mitre cuts at various angles are possible thanks to the sliding bracket, but the precise setting of 2 degrees is very demanding.
