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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110–120V AC, 50\/60 Hz, 50W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Max 40V at 1.2A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210–660°F (100–350°C) — continuously variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2mm (0.008\") — fine wire for precise cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation class:\u003c\/strong\u003e Class 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 850g (1.9 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart No.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37084\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArchitecture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cutting foam board for scale models, site models, and massing studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel making:\u003c\/strong\u003e Railroad, aviation, and marine scenery and structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrototyping \u0026amp; design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concept models, product mockups, and display props\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation work:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precise shaping of construction foam insulation board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArt \u0026amp; education:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sculpture, classroom projects, and decorative installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTHERMOCUT 650 vs. Other THERMOCUT Models\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHERMOCUT 650 (No. 37084):\u003c\/strong\u003e 110V mains, 100–350°C range, 0.2mm fine wire, 50W.
