Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter THERMOCUT 650 — 110V, 100–350°C Variable, 0.2mm Wire (No. 37084)

Precision foam cutting at the bench. The Proxxon THERMOCUT 650 is a mains-powered hot wire cutter with a continuously variable wire temperature from 100–350°C — a wider range than the THERMOCUT 115/E — and a fine 0.2mm (0.008") cutting wire for clean, precise cuts through Styrofoam board without crumbling, tearing, or the dust of mechanical cutting. Designed for architects, designers, artists, and model makers who need repeatable, controlled cuts in a bench setting.

THERMOCUT 650 vs. Other THERMOCUT Models

• THERMOCUT 650 (No. 37084): 110V mains, 100–350°C range, 0.2mm fine wire, 50W. Widest temperature range of the mains-powered models — best for precision bench cutting across a broad range of foam densities.
• THERMOCUT 115/E (No. 37080): 110V mains, 100–200°C range, 3kg bench unit. Best for straightforward cuts in a fixed studio or classroom.
• THERMOCUT 12/E (No. 27082): 12V DC, 150–350°C, 5 shapeable wires. Best for freehand and complex profile cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the advantage of the 0.2mm wire?
A finer wire produces a narrower kerf and cleaner cut edge — important for architectural models and precision work where cut accuracy matters. Thicker wires remove more material and can leave a rougher edge.

Is the temperature continuously variable or stepped?
Continuously variable between 100–350°C, allowing precise tuning for different foam densities and cutting speeds.

Does it produce fumes?
Yes — cutting thermoplastics produces fumes. Always use the THERMOCUT 650 in a well-ventilated area. See the Prop 65 warning below for California residents.
