And it does a very very good job of cutting plastics with no edges melting and i tried with thick big sheets and few types of plastics and all cut perfect
Very little filing needed
I know you can cut at slow speed it does help, but nothing like a NO-MELT blade made for cutting plastics,slow cutting takes much time ,and using a wetsaw with a special 4 inch blade is messy and cost a lot more
I know. My post was for Hoolagen
So was mine about the heated knife is mostly for welding ,anytime a blade gets hot it will melt plastic and KNIFE bad more because of very slow cutting,not like a circual saw blade the spins With a knife blade plus gas powered pen torch it will be a lot more then a dremel blade or circual saw blade at $28,85 free shipping most guys here have a circual saw,but not all have a table saw for a bigger blade
I use both to get my cutting done very fast to have more time on my robot building
DREMEL with a plastic cutting blade great for cutting plastics in robots or ,ilike better is my ROTOZIP
For fingers and scrooling cut I love my rockwell BLADE RUNNER and cuts perfect circles with a add -on
I have been dealing with and using plastics for about 19 years at my company i work for,and designing plastic cutting machines for plastics,mostly design forming machines and plastic cutting CHILLERS
SO i know most then others about using all types of plastics and cutting and welding tools
last big machine i made was using 1 inch thick plexiglass for a tank like fixture that was vacuum sealed proof,need to pull a vacuum on a special sensor,after glueing the walls i had to weld a steel frame around the corners and top and bottom and make special vacuum dual door,one you open put sensor in and close and seal it and then with very special gloves open up the other door and test it,without losing a vacuum
