The 280 has a fine heating wire capable of cutting expanded polystyrene materials up to 250mm in thickness. Variable power to the wire is supplied from the low voltage transformer housed in the base of the machine. Freehand shapes can be cut with ease, while the machine table also has grooves to accept the accessories supplied with each machine: • Parallel Guide • Protractor Guide for non-parallel cuts • Circle Cutter
The 180 combines a heated wire on a tensioned bow, ideal for cutting expanded polystyrene models, with a horizontal wire or strip heating of rigid plastic materials. This compact unit is ideal for smaller workshops.
