Thank you.
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.
Wow...Al.foil is still great idea.👍
Great. Did you see any plastic melt sticking to the blade after cutting plastic a number of times, Forcing you to change the blade? This is important for me to know, I am doing a small test. Want to gather data from different sources. Kindly let me know. Thanks.
Thanks now i think this will work
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
Exactly what I need. Brilliant ! I'm an old hand in the workshop making gadgets. Never seen this before. Simple concise demonstration. Thanks.
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!!
What a talent making HOW TO videos -thanks for the tip!
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!
Come one people, give this video a THUMBS UP!!! This was an EXCELLENT DIY solution!! Deserves some 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.
Great idea, thanks!
Wow! GREAT idea and execution! Thank you!
Excelente, muchas gracias 👍🏻
Perfecto. Gran calidad de video. Buen gusto en acompañamiento de sonido. Siga Ud Así!
Brilliant idea! Very good for doing details in my project! Thank you for uploading! 🙏🙏🙏
Very helpful nice video love the different types of demonstrations thank you
Simply brilliant. Thank you for sharing this.
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!!!
That was clever. Simple, but clever.
Thanks a lot buddy! That’s a great idea!!
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.
Excellent tip!

@@trying2savenature891 That would be determined by the heat rating of the soldering gun and the type of plastic.
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 cool, and I happen to have a spare solder iron. Going to be making this for sure.
u can use it for soldering too
Love the music!
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!!!
Dang let us know if it worked
@Kevin 7 Rxxx - Well, it kind of worked. I put the Exacto blade with the holder and the collet inside the tip of the soldering iron. I tightened the two little screws around the stem that I had inserted (the collet itself did not fit, but was needed to provide stability to the blade. It all heated up nicely and I tried it out on a plastic takeout tray. Worked fine until I got too deep (about 1.5") and then the edges of the plastic caught the blade and pulled it loose. Need to figure out a way to clamp the blade in firmly.
@@saadams4937 The problem with the Exacto blade holder is that it has 2 vertical cuts instead of 1. The screws can only provide pressure from the x axis, but not the z axis :)
@@Mehmetyldrm_ Trouble noted. Solution...? :)
@@saadams4937 I am not sure. You can slide in some copper wire in the holes on the z axis maybe?
Simple cost effective brilliant.
Though simple, very useful idea to cut plastic. 👌👌
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.

It cuts very damn neat.........Wow....!!!!!👍👍👍👍
that's a genius idea. i really appreciate it. thanks for sharing. nice works. 👍
Perfect tool to open cassette shells!
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.
Snap.....me two.

@@trying2savenature891 Thanks for asking. I experienceed minimal issues when making hot blade cuts with extruded acrylics between the thickness of 1/8 inch - 7/16 inch. I managed to get clean cuts with no plastic beading up or sticking when applied to 1/2 high impact lexan. My only advice is that consistency comes with pacing cuts with a steady hand.
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!
Perfect, used it and it works like a charm. Thank you for tutorial.

Thank you for sharing your videos Have a great time ❤❤❤
Totally clever idea.
Wonder if sharpening the fine soldering tip would work in a bind 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼love it thx
No reason you couldn't put an edge on that soldering tip, thanks for the ideas solved some problems for me.
Nice bro
Verry good idea. Thank you Verry much
Verry inspiratif good job
Muito criativo parabéns
Muito bom, eu tava pensando em fazer só com a ponta do ferro de solda, mas isso aí fica muito mais detalhado.
I tried this and it works great! Took me about 5 minutes to complete. Thanks mate! (i also subbed)

Worth ful. Idea, Thanks
Brillant idea my friend...!!!
Thankfull for your sharing knowledge
Boa ideia! Muito bem, obrigado!
👍 very helpful, thank you.
απιθανο, μπραβο.
Excelente ideia.
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.
Thanks for the idea.
Just what I needed!
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
Very nice, thanks!
Thnks... Sharing 👍👍
This is very helpful. But can this be use to cut acrylic in circle shape? Thanks for tutorial and in advance for the response.
Magnificent!!!
Brilliant Thank you very much.
excelente aportación amigo saludos desde México
Great and simple idea

this is AWESOME Thanks
Which gives me an idea to make a styrofoam cutter just add wire to it ,, thanks bro
Did it work?
@@SDsailor7I used a heavy duty soldering iron it worked great, thanks again for the idea you should do a video making one sure you viewers would love it
@@Jango975 I don't know how to make videos. Sorry.

Esta genial, muchas gracias.
Adorable Idea 👌

Great idea, now to mount it as a compass to cut perfect circles...
thanks for this project this tool is wery useful thanks again
You are very create person. Thanks
Está genial 🙌💯🙌💯🙌
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.
Good innovation
Mae esta buenisimo ese toque..... ahora si e visto algo util. Saludos!
Great and cheap idea..
Oh,Great! Thank you very much!
This is superb idea
