DIY Hotwire table

Jeff this is the table setup I came up with for cutting out the planes its very basic to build and uses a 10V 1.2 amp supply for constant heat.
I've added the ability to use a fence for straight cuts or running off small strips, The beauty of this setup is all cuts are 90 degrees which is a must in any build.
I'm working on a simple addon to do the 45 degree cuts for the ailerons and I'm done.
This is a short video of it in action.

hi keith great work m8, could i be cheecky and ask you to cut a couple of circles (polos) out for me there for a new cmp corsair i,am building i have blue foam about 1/2 inch thick i want to extend the fire wall/cowl. if its ok then i,ll catch up with u when i,am ready for them cheers bud.

Not a problem phil if it helps you can borrow it as and when required.

cheers m8.

glad i dident buy one keith.that one works a treat. could you nock me one up.

Get the power supply jeff and I'll help you out m8, nothing to it really, you must have an old virgin modem power supply kicking around the house from when they did the upgrades?

alas i changed to sky 6 months ago and virgin wanted all there equipment back.what can i use instead.
tell me the specs ie voltage and amps and does it have to be variable for heat settings.

Jeff the details are in the first post I dont use variable heat as I dont need it for this setup its a basic unit for cutting depron planes, If I want to cut wings I'll set the bigger cutter up that does have variable heat control.

This is the same as the one on ebay, thats not variable either.

lol sorry i forgot the specs were in the first post
so if i get one tomorrow whats on the shopping list to buy.

To be honest jeff I'm sure I have what I need in the spares bin, Theres really nothing to it, You will need the nichrome wire to go with it as I only had one small section for mine. this one looks right and its the same guage as mine.
