I didn't want to cut the bolt, so I wrapped aluminum foil around the blade and fastened it in the solder iron, it worked too. Brilliant Idea. Tested it on various plastic and acrylic materials, worked like a charm.

Exactly what I need. Brilliant ! I'm an old hand in the workshop making gadgets. Never seen this before. Simple concise demonstration. Thanks.

What a beautiful presentation of making a simple tool to do critical job. You are a genius. Thank you for sharing it. Keep up the good work. I liked your video. Thank you.

Come one people, give this video a THUMBS UP!!! This was an EXCELLENT DIY solution!! Deserves some Thanks!

Brilliant ! A perfect example of how a resourceful mind operates, finds a way, and saves money for investment in more fun at the bench. My kind of guy, whoever you are. Bravo!

What a talent making HOW TO videos -thanks for the tip!

Gave me an excellent idea... I'm going to bypass all the efforts at adapting the screw as a receptacle and use the blade holder from the tip of an Exacto knife instead. And the Exacto blade that goes with it, of course. As long as it gets hot - and it should - it should work. Thanks for the idea!!!

Excelente, muchas gracias 👍🏻

Perfecto. Gran calidad de video. Buen gusto en acompañamiento de sonido. Siga Ud Así!

Just found this - I've been looking for a way to cut acrylic without having to make dozens of scores. This looks super easy and doable even for me! Thanks!!

I think that iron made of glow plug (used in car) may be better in cutting plastic, pexi glass, pvc etc. Thanks for your innovative idea and presentation. A thumbs up!

Great idea, thanks!

Brilliant idea! Very good for doing details in my project! Thank you for uploading! 🙏🙏🙏

Wow! GREAT idea and execution! Thank you!

I just did that with my wood burner lol… I needed a hot knife and it had different size collets to put different types of tips into the end for,wood burning… so, I just slipped one of the blades from my exact ò knife into it…. Shazam! I have an instant hot knife! Works perfectly!

Muito bom, eu tava pensando em fazer só com a ponta do ferro de solda, mas isso aí fica muito mais detalhado.

Very good idea that will help me make a stencil cutter with an existing soldering iron. The way you were cutting was parallel to the jaws and the bolt was rocking as you cut. Just as a tip - when to lock your bolt in a vice and start cutting with a hack saw - cut in the direction that is 90 degrees from the surfaces of the jaws of the vice thus the bolt is always supported by the jaws and it will not move as you cut.

Very helpful nice video love the different types of demonstrations thank you

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :D I have a little project including cutting some plastic. I've been procrastinating for a while but today I decided to bite the bullet and do the search for a method. And what do you know, it's very close to the firsts video I've watched and I was prepared to destroy the better part of this afternoon. And your tool cuts like butter!!! Search is over :D Did I say thank you? Well, just to be sure, again thank you!!!

Tengo que agradecer esta espectacular idea, lo hice todo paso a paso y efectivamente me funcionó, corta acrilico cómo cuchillo en mantequilla; pensé que me iba a costar cortar el tornillo, pero fue fácil. Merecido ese like BLESSING

That was clever. Simple, but clever.

Thanks a lot buddy! That’s a great idea!!

Excellente idée !!!!

Thanks so much for creating this video. I'm currently working on a time sensitive project. Making this hot knife cutter will be very helpful.

Very cool, and I happen to have a spare solder iron. Going to be making this for sure.

Muito criativo parabéns

Simply brilliant. Thank you for sharing this.

Good idea. And you can make it better by using a thin piece of copper: no need to be sharp, it's not the edge that cuts, it's the HEAT. And in the same way, use a copper or perhaps brass rod instead of the bolt. Easier to cut too. Well, is a perfect task for a Dremel saw. And to make the cutting process more uniform/even, you could increase the thermal "mass" of the soldering iron: say by wrapping the end with copper wire. That will make it take longer to heat up, but then it will STAY hot as you start to cut thicker pieces. And you could wrap the end with high temperature insulation: can get a ceramic "wool" that won't be affected by the temperature. So the idea is to heat up the end, and KEEP it hot (with the insulation and copper wire-wrap), and use the copper "hot knife" to do the cutting for you. The extra weight from the copper wire wrap won't matter in its new role of being a hot-cutter: it's not like you are trying to do delicate stuff with a light(ish) weight soldering iron.

Perfect, used it and it works like a charm. Thank you for tutorial.

Excelente idea!!!!

Jogja hadir semangat berkarya sukses selalu🍻👌👌👌👍

Great, thank You, God Bless You.

Just what I have been looking for, thank you!

Love the music!

Thank you for this video very helpful from a woman that needs to cut plastic shutters

素晴らしい～秀樹感激Goodです=3

Отличное изобретение. Лайк.

that's a genius idea. i really appreciate it. thanks for sharing. nice works. 👍

It cuts very damn neat.........Wow....!!!!!👍👍👍👍

You just made life more beautiful!!!

thanks to you that encouraged me to try it out!! I found that it cannot cut well if it's too thick (4mm for me) if you have to cut a long line. But if plunge it straight down it will make it to the bottom. Dragging it but not through it makes the reattached at the beginning again so kinda no use LOL Nevertheless thin pieces should work like charm.

kren idee kreatifnya dapat membantu aku boleh tiak aku coba

Perfect tool to open cassette shells!

Excelente ideia.

Great idea, now to mount it as a compass to cut perfect circles...

That is just absolutely genius !

👍🏾💎 *PARABÉNS muito legal, valeu!!!*

The best inspiration🙏🏽👍👍👍

thanks for this project this tool is wery useful thanks again

Man never thought it! Genius!

2024 just bought cutter tips for that solder. cheap and effortless😂 anyway this is great

Genius!

I have many sheets of old acrylic laying around because up until now I couldn't find an easy way to cut it. Thank you for your video.

Though simple, very useful idea to cut plastic. 👌👌

Pinter sekali anda, kreatif tanpa batas

Perfect video at perfect time! Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your videos Have a great time ❤❤❤

Mae esta buenisimo ese toque..... ahora si e visto algo util. Saludos!

Worth ful. Idea, Thanks

Wonder if sharpening the fine soldering tip would work in a bind 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼love it thx

No point in buying one when i have the parts to make one. Thanks for sharing.

A great tool for any shop and maker!!

Yes! That’s the solution for me!

Thankfull for your sharing knowledge

nice, very useful for me

Nice, innovative idea. 🔥

Boa ideia! Muito bem, obrigado!

Simple cost effective brilliant.

Great and cheap idea..

Que material é esse que vc corta? Seria PVC expandido?

This is very helpful. But can this be use to cut acrylic in circle shape? Thanks for tutorial and in advance for the response.

If you are too lazy, Use only solder itself. Make the tip of solder sharpest as possible with grinder. It works fine and last long. Even the sharp tip will be usefull to glue between the edges of acrylic. Btw, the idea is come from this video 🤙👍

Brillant idea my friend...!!!

Terimakasih untuk tutorialnya...

Muito bom obrigado

You are very create person. Thanks

Verry good idea. Thank you Verry much

Thanks for the idea 👍🏻

excelente aportación amigo saludos desde México

Dude amazing video, respect from Turkey

Very nice, thanks!

This is what i need❤️

I tried this and it works great! Took me about 5 minutes to complete. Thanks mate! (i also subbed)

Oh,Great! Thank you very much!

Very nice idea man! Great! Very helpful.

Ótima ideia, esta pensando e esquentar no fogo, assim fica bem mais fácil e pratico....

Just what I needed!

I think that's what I'm looking for, but I wonder if it would work on ABS plastic, like the hard plastic part of a car dashboard. I need it to slice through with minimal melting of the material.

Genial, 👍 Gran idea!!!

Amazing, it's cool. The best video

👏👏👏

I’ll give this a go I’m trying to cut RX8 letters into the side fin on my car front splitter (ABS) plastic did small drill bit little holes then dremil cut but it looks wobbly I need a good clean cut used paper cut small round wheel out of sand paper to try smooth out

Um máximo!

Verry inspiratif good job

Brilliant Thank you very much.

Nice idea, could use it on foam 🚨 pvc tube burning exhausts chloride, very toxic, careful with that

Boa Tarde! Onde posso comprar esse ferro de solda com lamina???

Esta genial, muchas gracias.

Very very nice.Adhi from Indonesia
