Review: Easy Assembly - Works Great - First off, know that I am not a hobbyist using this for intricate models. I volunteer to 3-D print assistive technology devices and use it only for cutting out foam inserts for shipping these devices. For that, it works perfectly. The fence positions quickly for cuts as precise as I need them. My only complaint is that the wire spool was mounted on the overhead arm and it's so small that I didn't see it right away and it was not mentioned on the parts list causing me to initially think that it wasn't included. I eventually noticed it and all was right with the world. This went together quickly and I could have been up and running in 5 minutes if I hadn't wasted time looking in the discarded packing material for the spool of wire. Considering the low price for this entry-level cutter, it's a great value.
Review: Good Quality - Very well made, good quality, easy to use. tested with 1/2" thick rigid Styrofoam and 1" thick rigid XPS. Very clean-cut good temperature control. Good assembly instructions.

Very well made, good quality, easy to use. tested with 1/2" thick rigid Styrofoam and 1" thick rigid XPS. Very clean-cut good temperature control. Good assembly instructions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cuts well. Rulers are not very useful.
*by C***N on May 30, 2023*

This thing is great. I just wish they had included measurements on the sides in smaller increments. I think they're measured in whole centimeters, and it would have been way more helpful to be broken into millimeters. For precise work, you're going to have to go to some extra effort as a result. I also found it's helpful to keep a speed square on hand to adjust the wire for straight 90 degree cuts. Still, this is $60 cheaper than the Proxxon, and it works fine.
