The 480mm refers to the length of the hot wire, our smaller 150mm cutter has been one of our best sellers but we have had increasing interest from customers who need something a bit bigger, so this is it.
We've mentioned that the hot wire is 480mm long but we have also increased the reach to 620mm, the reach being the distance from the hot wire to the black frame.

This perfectly balanced and ergonomic design is light weight and easy to use, we believe this together with it's robust and sturdy construction makes this unit perfect for not only the DIY market but also great for the commercial market.
We have also incorporated the following safety devices:
Short circuit protection
Overload protection
Thermal protection
Mains fused complete with spare fuse
The unit also utilises the push to heat button that we have used on our other designs, what this means is that the red button on top of the control box has to be held down to heat the wire. As soon as the button is released the wire will cool down, this ensures that the unit is never left on whilst unattended which we believe is paramount for this type of tool.

Both these videos show the cutter being used on the dense more commercial type polystyrene insulation.
Safety
Only the supplied wire & power supply can be used, never experiment with another power supply or different wire type or length.
We would recommend that this item is to be used in a well ventilated area as the fumes from some materials can be harmful.
Only for use with polystyrene, foam & similar materials.
A full range of spares are available via email & spare wires are available from our Hot Wire Cutter Accessories page, although experience has shown that the supplied wire will last for a very long time & depending on use you may never need to replace it. But if you rely on the cutter for work then it may be prudent to keep a spare.
