What's special about this Hot Knife?
Whether enjoying a creative hobby in your garage or working the line in a high-production factory, it is impossible to achieve perfect results when cutting braided sleeving or rope with any cold blade-based tool. This bench mount hot knife instantly cuts braided sleeving, sealing ends with 1200°F heat to eliminate fraying that can lead to unraveling. Even more of a physical relief for cutting rope, it can sear through an inch of nylon in about 10 seconds. Fast and easy to set up and use, this cutter is sure to become a permanent fixture in your fabric cutting environment. |
- Eliminates the need to buy special non-fray sleeving, greatly reducing costs in large scale operations
- Blade are easily replaced with a simple flat-head screwdriver, greatly reducing downtime during maintenance
- Operation is as simple as it gets; simply turn the unit on and it automatically heats to an ideal temperature, eliminating the guesswork of the temperature settings found on other hot knives
- Easily installed with 4 screws and a screwdriver, and will not move once installed; this lack of movement reduces the risk of uneven cuts and painful mistakes
- For your protection, be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves, and operate only in a well-ventilated area
- ETL Approved
- Proudly made in the USA

Comments about BENCH MOUNT HOT KNIFE:
Needed a table mounted hot knife for cutting climbing rope and tubular webbing. Involved in both climbing and challenge course work. The cuts are quick, easy and clean.
Would be a little concerned about leaving the hot blade exposed with little or no protection, but we can control the environment.

Not only would I recommend this to a friend, I bought one for a friend's birthday! I can't imagine NOT having one in the tackroom. Perfect for making horse halters, cutting rope, trimming chewed-on rope ends, etc. Heats up very quickly. Be sure to have plenty of ventilation.

Comments about BENCH MOUNT HOT KNIFE:
The installation is very easy, and product is very efficient. It is also great because of its small size. It is simple to use, but definitely requires a lot of caution. Hot knives in general are products which if used carelessly can be destructive; therefore this should definitely be a product for a non-crowded industrial type of environment with safety precautions in place. I would recommend buying work gloves for added protection and comfort while using this. [...]
