The Chopper II

Post by pickelhaube » Sat Mar 28, 2009 5:52 pm

The Chopper II.

This is a dream come true customizing tool. I held off a while getting one but finally got it. You use it for repetative cutting of styreen and thin wood.

Although I cut myself 2 time while handeling it :x , it sure is a time saver.

It is a little pricy but I sure wish I got one years ago.

Here is what it looks like.

Here is my thumb with shop first aid. Paper towls and masking tape. :wink:

IF THEY MADE IT ANY BIGGER "caution sharp blade" it would bite you!
Ohh never mind :? :) :(

I've seen this at Micro-Mark but never knew if it was any good.
So apart from being good at thumb cutting, it works pretty well?

Yes it works real well. I would say it saved me about an hour the first time I used it. Of course it cost me about 15 mins. of badaging after cutting myself twice. :x
