Proxxon Thermocut

About 2 months ago, while trying to cut some thin layer of foam to be placed under the Brawa platform support, I realized that the same old ways I used to cut foam are making me lose hours, with the results never being exact. So I went online and ordered from a local online dealer the Proxxon Thermocut 230/E.

Priced at 130 euros, this machinery could have easily saved me days (!) of work back when I was building the ramps and various pillars. With a very thin wire that's kept straight by the arm, you can do cuts in various angles, both horizontally and vertically  (the piece holding the wire on the upper side of the arm can slide). The guiding system is really good and sturdy (maybe it has something to do with the fact that the machine is built in Germany). To be on the safe side, I ordered a spare wire coil (like the one seen here on the top of the arm) which holds 30 m of wire. The heating temperature can be easily modified and the base is actually printed with cm markings and a protractor - all in all one of the best investments recently made.
