  • This video shows how I made a Wood Strip Cutter in a few easy steps. This is a very useful tool for model making. I use this tool to cut balsa wood strips when I build model boats and model aircrafts. This is the most efficient, accurate and affordable method I found so far. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information. Thank you for watching my video.

    Beautiful! I love the elegant simplicity of this clever idea, and how you present it so clearly without any words. Excellent!

    Such a simple idea, yet brilliant! Thanks for sharing, I will be making one, now.

    Excellent. Suggestion: instead of fixing with screws, you could set the blade at standard widths and at each one, drill a vertical hole down through the top into the movable block. To use, just set it in place with a removable dowel each time - no need to measure and would keep the blade very steady. Cheers and thanks from Sydney, Dave

    In addition to an adjustment screw someone else mentioned for setting the cut width, I think I'll add a slide vernier caliper so there's a built in means for measuring. There are adequately accurate inexpensive plastic ones on eBay.

  • @Bright8888
    @Bright8888 Před 8 lety

    Great idea to cut balsa wood.
    An improvement would be to use a lead screw to slide the blade. This will make the depth of cut adjustment very easy and precise.

    Good gadget, but it looks like it's ideal for cutting balsa. Perhaps harder wood would not be so easy to cut.

      @winterlight9 Před 7 lety

      This is very similar to a lace/strap cutter shown in Bruce Grants "Leather Braiding" book. If this was clamped to the edge of a table a full pelt could be worked through it much like and Australian strander.

    This video should be more about cutting strips, rather than making the wood strip cutter. For 90% of the video you just played with the blocks.
