What is nichrome cutter?

Greetings to all subscribers, and channel visitors' Podelkin ". Today I want to introduce you to a home-made and very useful tool, called nichrome cutter.

Nichrome cutter - is an apparatus for figure sawing of wood (plywood), which consists of two main elements: a power supply (12V) and the cutting part (nichrome wire).

Such a tool is very easy to do and it has a number of advantages over conventional hand jigsaw. Unlike manual jigsaw have no metallic nichrome cutter arcuate frame which limits the cutting length (manual jigsaw sawing impossible to produce at a great distance from the edges of the parts), so with it you can make a very voluminous products. In nichrome cutter is much higher cutting speed (cutting), during which you will be virtually no effort. This device not only simplifies the work, but also save your time. And the last is the price. Assembly nichrome cutter you will spend approximately the same amount of money how much manual jigsaw.

Structure and working principle.

The first major element of which is nichrome cutter - is a source of power. As such you can use any source of power supply to 12V and 5-10A current strength, but it is best to fit the power supply from the computer.

The second component of a homemade device - a Nichrome wire (string), by means of which actually made the cut. Due to its properties such wire is very popular in the market, because it is used for manufacturing civil and industrial electrical equipment such as electric furnaces, kettles, boilers, and so Further. So finding Nichrome filament is very simple, and its cost is quite low.

Nichrome filament is attached to one side of the handle with the clip, on the other hand to some of the sinker and they also connect +/- contacts from the power supply. After inclusion in the network, the wire is heated to very high temperatures, making it possible to cut the veneer (board) of almost any thickness on smoothly. After the cutting edges are fired, after the laser machine, which gives the product a certain appeal. The only drawback nichrome cutter is that when sawing wood smokes and a little so you need to work only in large ventilated areas or if you need a ventilation system.

This tool is very effective and greatly expands your opportunities. Despite the fact that I am now manufactures its products with the help of jigsaw machineIn some cases, I still can not do without nichrome cutter. In the following article you can readhow to make nichrome cutter with his hands.
