Lightweight Thermocutter

The new AETC-20 Electronic Thermocutter from Abbeon Cal Inc. will be introduced in late Fall 2008. The Thermocutter is great for clean, effortless cutting of synthetic fabrics, plastic tubes, fiber optics, foam and similar materials that tend to crimp, serrate or unravel when cold cutters are used. At only 11 1/2 ounces, this lightweight thermocutter provide an immediate reduction in operator fatigue. The secret is the removal of the transformer, which is replaced by high-tech electronics. The best part about this change is that the handle will never get hot. In addition, temperature is controlled from zero to 1050ºF with a simple flick of your thumb and an electrical current control switch allows a broader selection of large blades. This cutter will come with a handy tool stand, and a cutting foot accessory can be purchased separately. The cutting foot lifts your synthetic fabric or thin plastic off the cutting surface before coming in contact with the heated blade, which then easily cuts and seals the edges of the material. Using the foot attachment and a straight edge can help you get consistent, straight cuts.
