RE: A stroll down memory lane - Nordic - 10-27-2018 Jack, I remember those. Those are quality, useful tools... So very often - and it seems more often so today - you cannot get tools of this nature that work well. Those are gorgeous... RE: A stroll down memory lane - Brent I - 10-28-2018 Those are beautiful ! And it has been a very long time since I have been here as well.

Mine uses a power supply from a laptop as well and the heat is controlled by a router speed controller from Harbor freight. Mine runs automatically using an adjustable weight. The bow has a follower wheel on it. I hit the switch and it takes off when the wire cuts the foam. At the end of the cut I turn it off. Works great. I've already built Ron Chidgey's Tiger Tail from it. These foam wire cutting machines are fantastic if you want to cut a bunch of foam cores. For only one wing, they are a lot of work. My problem is the planes I want to build only show the templates and dimensions for a foam wing core. I could still cut ribs out and build the old fashioned way but that is a lot of work too. carl |
