The stopper bar doesn't stay in place. There is a lip just before the hotwire unit which is a pain Build quality is at best poor blown plastic base. However after a few end user modifications it is now more use able. For what I need it for and the amount of times it will be used it's ok If you're going be using this more often then just don't buy it If you do then you'll end up buying a better one anyway. ## Frequently Bought Together - 20W Hot Wire Polystyrene Foam Cutter Tabletop Ruler Guide Quick Heat Up - SM SunniMix 5 PCS Foam Board Hobby Foam High Density DIY Model Material blue Sheet for Crafting, Modeling, Sculpture, diy for Crafts 30cm x 20cm x 2cm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/645717773-20w-hot-wire-polystyrene-foam-cutter-tabletop-ruler-guide-quick](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/645717773-20w-hot-wire-polystyrene-foam-cutter-tabletop-ruler-guide-quick) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
