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.

Thankyou so very much. Have built a caravan with all around dark tinted acrylic windows. Am about to convert it into a coffee kiosk and need to cut our side window for serving hatch. Was debating hot wire and multitool but this looks perfect.

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.

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

Excelente, muchas gracias 👍🏻

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!!

Great idea, thanks!

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

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

Wow! GREAT idea and execution! Thank you!

Отличное изобретение. Лайк.

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!

Excelente idea!!!!

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!!!

素晴らしい～秀樹感激Goodです=3

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

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

Muito criativo parabéns

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!

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

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!

That was clever. Simple, but clever.

Simply brilliant. Thank you for sharing this.

Love the music!

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

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!!!

Excelente ideia.

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

Great, thank You, God Bless You.

Just what I have been looking for, thank you!

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

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

Boa ideia! Muito bem, obrigado!

Simple cost effective brilliant.

Man never thought it! Genius!

nice, very useful for me

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

Thanks for the idea 👍🏻

Perfect tool to open cassette shells!

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

That is just absolutely genius !

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.

👍🏾💎 *PARABÉNS muito legal, valeu!!!*

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

Genius!

You just made life more beautiful!!!

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.

Verry inspiratif good job

Genial, 👍 Gran idea!!!

Yes! That’s the solution for me!

Excellente idée !!!!

Great and simple idea

Um máximo!

You are very create person. Thanks

Excelente, brillante.

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.

Dude amazing video, respect from Turkey

Magnificent!!!
