Cutter para cantos Foamwerks WC-4010

FoamWerks cutting tools were developed to provide a way for precisely reworking sandwich panels with paper cover layers like KAPA BOARDS or FOAM BOARDS. The various tools make it possible to make exact 90° or 45° cuts, to cut circles up to 150 mm in diameter or to punch out holes from 4.5 to 19 mm in diameter. In the realm of architectural model making, the RABBET CUTTER is particularly useful because you can cut a sandwich panel in such a way that the paper cover layer remains uncut on one side. In addition, the V-GROOVE CUTTER is great for this work as well because it can cut a series of “V” shaped grooves in order to shape the board into a curve. All these tools are distinguished by their easy handling and precise cuts and are also suitable for working on STYROPOR and POLYSTYRENE RIGID FOAM BOARDS.

FoamWerks is a product line from the American company Logan, which, especially in the realm of professional tools for passepartout production, is a world market leader. Logan passepartout tools can be found under PASSEPARTOUT CUTTER.

Anyone who often builds models using KAPA BOARDS or FOAM BOARD knows that when forming joints of two boards at a 90° angle there is always the problem that you can always see one of the edges of the board if it hasn’t been mitre cut. Voilà! The FoamWerks rabbet cutter allows you to cut the edges of 5 mm thick sandwich panels in one stroke in such a way that one side of the paper cover layer remains intact. This then serves to cover the exposed board edge when joining two boards. In this way, very clean adjoining foam board joints are created.

To accomplish this trick the cutter has two blades that are so positioned that both horizontal and vertical cuts are made simultaneously. When using this tool, you lift the board away from the workbench to begin the cut. Right-handers start the cut on the edge nearest them and push the cutter; left-handers start at the farther edge and pull the cutter towards them. The blade depth cannot be changed; this tool is designed for boards with 5 mm thicknesses only.

The right replacement blades, Type WC, can be found under FOAMWERKS REPLACEMENT BLADES.
