    Happy to say I have the Proxxon cutter. Yes much more expensive, but a lot bigger and easier to put together. However, looks like this can do the same job and I might have tried it if I had seen it first. Congrats to your daughter for seeing it through!

    That green part is only in the picture and it’s supposed to go on the spring part underneath. I bought one and I think I’m going to throw it away because it’s a safety hazard to not have an off switch. I’m not about to get burnt trying this thing. lol. I only paid $4 so I’m not losing much.

      LOL, that's what I get for letting the kids assemble something...
      I certainly hear what you are saying about the off switch, and unclipping to turn it off is a hassle. I've also noted the wood warping underneath where the bottom spring attaches which is effecting the tension.
      But as you say, it's cheap enough, and at 6 volts only, its not like it's going to electrocute me with the lack of a power switch, and the burn is going to be less than if I slip with my hot wire knife. At least it can do straight cuts which I only do rarely and the knife can't really cope with.

    Could you please tell me how long the delivered wire was? Thanks a lot !!! I wonder, how ofen I can replace it, in case it smaps at the worst possible position (AvailableLength/MinimumDemandedLength)

      OK, to be on the safe side you would need a length of 30cm from terminal to terminal for it to work. although you could get away with 15cm at a real push if you tied off at the top terminal and wound the other end to the tension spring (using the spring as a terminal).
      In addition to that 30cm already used, there is an extra 75cm at least that came with my set.
      Hope that helps!

      @@the_minimal_dm Yeah, I´d surely manage to go with the 15cm, I can solder copper-wires at the ends, just to use less of the hot-wire. So, with around 75cm, there´s plenty of that ! Thanks a lot, again, I just bought it too!!! Also, tell me, you are in New Zealand, so you use cm more often than inches?

      LOL.. you caught me out... yes, for a lot of things I tend to use cm or mm, especially with wargames stuff because the figure scale and base size is normally in mm. But I'm originally from the UK, so I do default to inches or feet for a few things... I know my height, but couldn't tell you what it is in cm!

    I just put mine together. It was a right bugger. And I'm still not sure it's right.

      That's why I got somebody else to do it so I could have somebody to blame if it went wrong 😜
