Sign InQ. Hi I want to use this knife for intricate craft work.. is it possible to hold the knife close to the tip to allow for more stable hand guidance throughout the cutting process? Thanks in advance
A. Hi Gavin, thank you for your question. No this can only be held on the yellow part as the complete tip will be hot.
Q. Would this be suitable for cutting and re-shaping the polystyrene used in a car to secure a spare wheel? I need to fit a larger wheel so need to remove some sections to do this!
A. Hi Simon, thank you for your question. Yes this Antex electric hot knife will cut polystyrene.
Q. Would this tool be suitable for cutting through ribbon - would it seal edges to stop fraying?
A. Hi Sam, thank you for your question. The blade is not sharp but the heat would cut and seal the edges.
Q. Can it cut and seal synthetic thin lining fabric
A. Hi Margaret, thank you for your question. It should be suitable for this application.
Q. Will it be suitable to cut 10mm thick EVA foam floor tiles
A. Hi Brian, thank you for your question. This is suitable for polystyrene and zote foam only.
Q. Hello Rapid I have read that this knife is unsuited for vinyl records. I have watched the vinyl chapter on you tube where she uses a hot knife to cut the vinyl to make wall art. Could you suggest something more suitable
A. Hi Make It Workshop CIC, thank you for your question. This is only suitable for polystyrene and foam. We do not have anything suitable for cutting vinyl unfortunately.
Q. Would the knife be suitable for cutting polyester fabric to leave a sealed, fray resistant, edge?
A. Hi Andy. Thank you for your question. This hot knife is designed to cut thin expanded polystyrene, as such we would not recommend it for your application as it will more than likely melt the fabric than cut it.
Q. do you know of a product which would cut 6mm to 8mm pvc sheet
A. Hi Adam. Thank you for your question. This is unlikely to effectively cut 6-8mm PVC.
Q. hi. would this knife be able to cut through 25mm thick candle wax? thanks, Neil
A. Hi Neil. Thank you for your question. This would cut through thick candle wax however, it may take a bit of time due to the thickness of the wax and may not be a straight through cut but would do what is required.
Q. Hi, would this be suitable to cut foam for outdoor cases such as peli case foam?
A. Hi Michael. Thank you for your question. This type of hot knife would be suitable for cutting this type of foam.
Q. Would the knife be suitable for cutting vinyl records
A. Hi Una, unfortunately this hot cutting knife wouldn't be suitable for your requirements as the vinyl records are too dense for this product to cut effectively.
Q. Would this be suitable for cutting polypropylene woven weed control fabric?
A. Hi, thanks for your question. We have not tried doing this, but cannot see any reason why not in principle. But this fabric would be denser than the expanded polystyrene mentioned, so may not get hot enough to work well.
Q. Is this knife suitable for cutting 3 strand polyester rope?
A. Hi Anthony, thanks for your question. Yes this would be suitable.
Q. Is this knife suitable for cutting 40mm thick polystyrene?
A. Thanks for your query Bill - I'm afraid the cutting tip of this knife if only 25mm long so it would not be suitable for your needs.
Really works a charm. Such a simple and effective design and does exactly as intended. Even comes with a lovely little stand to keep the heated blade from touching your work surface.
