Nice build. Your presentation is clearer than many, I've seen. 👍 I really like the fact the switch kills both sides of the wiring; mo' safety is mo' bettah. Glad to know I'm not the only one to get "Kill It with Fire!" angry at my mistakes 😅
Have to agree with other posts you’ve made it simple as compared to many others that I have looked at but then you turned around and provide sources for the parts...... Can’t get any easier.
Thank you alot, I'm building one of these but the parts you use are more recognizable to me than the ones in lukes video so this made it simpler for me!
Maybe this is a stupid question - how dangerous is it to have the current running up through the zinc bar? Like, obviously you don't want to touch the wire itself; how bad is accidentally touching the bar while the power is on?

10:18 is there some reason why you wouldn't just notch the Zinc bar instead of epoxying a nail and going through all that mess? Seems like it would make a better electrical contact as well.
Hi, that is a great question and the answer is yes, you can absolutely cut a notch instead of using a nail in the end. Just make sure the loop on the end of the spring fits on the Zinc bar and that should work perfectly. Good luck, I use mine almost every day!
You really need that to control the heat of the cutting wire. Without it, you will most likely burn the wire out every time. Also, you will want to control temperature for cutting thick foam vs. thin.
Sir i am from India plz sir I request you that you make this video by using transformer instead of power adapter and than make a video for the poor guy like me 🙏🙏🙏 because in India there is very costly for this product ur work is very good so help us make video sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏 help us 😭😭😭😭
Thank you for watching... I had no idea the cost for you would be so high in India! I'll see if I can find an alternative power source for you to use. I'll be in touch.
love the 'i'm not upset' - me on every project i've ever done...
Yeah, I try not to take things too seriously... It's OK to mess up

Mo' bettah for sure! Glad you liked the video, this table has worked out great for me👍
Wow, I love how you guys always go the extra mile with your crafts. Exceptional work
Thanks! I really appreciate your feedback... Always looking for new ways to create better videos
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 You're welcome, man. If you ever need help, just gimme a shout
Can always apply heat with a heat gun or a propane torch to warm up any metal before bending it. Makes the labor a bit easier.

Glad to hear that and thanks for the comment!
This would be the instructions I would follow if I didn't already have a proxxon!
Cool, thanks!
Nice work. Thank you.

Excellent! Glad this video was helpful to you... Don't make the mistakes I did though😬
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 I just have a question I have a 5v 3a power cable and I want to use the same dimmer as you does it work since it's 12v 8a?
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 Or do I need a controller or is it enough with an on/off switch?
@@mrfriedpickle7495 Not really sure... you can try it and perhaps all you need to do is turn down the dimmer switch to avoid burning out the wire.

Very cool! Going to need to build one too! The Proxxon is extremely expensive in South Africa!
Yeah, I though I was going to need to buy one but this wire cutter is all I've needed. Thanks for the comment

Agreed! Thank you... I'm happy to share the info and learn from other crafters in the process👍
Confused about the sloped ripping board. I understand if the slope could be adjusted.
Great build you make it look easy! Enjoyed your video.
Thanks! I try not to take things too seriously... Appreciate the positive feedback🙏
does it have to be a thin wire, can i use a hack saw blade as my cutter or is that to must resistence to get hot ?
great vid, excellent job, and I particularly love the way you deal with mistakes, ;))
Hahaha! Yes, I'm not afraid to admit I made mistakes... Glad you enjoyed that video👍

I like it sir excellent job
nice work.
Is it possible to make this without the dimmer switch?
You really need that to control the heat of the cutting wire. Without it, you will most likely burn the wire out every time. Also, you will want to control temperature for cutting thick foam vs. thin.
Is the 12v power supply what we should use for that?
Yes, 12v is what you're looking for. Here's the link on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G5BQGYD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The parts list for this project is no longer accessible through Amazon. The links are dead.
Sorry to hear that, this video was made some time ago... Try doing a fresh search based on the parts I used in the video. Hope that helps
@@thecraftingbrothers9448 It does a bit.
Thank you. Maybe I missed it in the video but what gauge of nichrome wire are you using?
@@racheljohnson4900 I use the 28g thick wire for my detail cutting and I'll switch over to 24g for cutting thick pieces of XPS foam
