The possibilities are endless for unique cuts with the sculptors tool adaptor. You can cut difficult groove shapes or cut custom picture frame moldings. You can make blades for special carving needs. Let your imagination run wild. Designs for home decoration or theme parties are a snap with the hot knife with a sculptors blade adaptor attached. Do not use more than 10'' of Demand Hotwire for any of your designs. I do not use more than 9 inches of hotwire for my custom profiles. The hot knife is not made to handle more than 10'' of wire. The less wire you use the less taxing it will be on your hot knife. Installing your new Sculptor's blade attachment.
This opens the two holes for the adaptor pins to go in.
These are the adaptor pins that go into the end of your hot knife. Notice one of the pins is of a larger diameter than the other. Install the pins in the proper holes in the end of your hot knife.
Now here's where
the fun comes in . You can shape
your hot wire any way you want to. First remove the plastic wrapper
from the wire. Next bend the wire carefully and slowly with
needle nosed pliers or use the wire bending tool
available on our Demand Website. Here I am making a 2 inch diameter loop
tool. This design took
7
inches of wire. ( 12 inches of wire comes with the sculptors kit) It
might be a good Idea to order an extra foot of wire when you place your
order so you will have plenty for other custom blade shapes.
With this particular custom shape I can scoop out large amounts of foam to make bowls, birdbaths, or other hollowed out items. It also makes a great carving tool. Putting in a standard blade Putting
in a standard blade is a simple matter. Remove the sculptor's wire
adaptor if it is on your hot knife. Put the large pin of the blade into
the large hole in the head of the hot knife. Put the small pin into the
small hole. Hand tighten the two locking screws.
Installing the hanging hook on your Hot Knife.
Your hot knife will come with a hook for hanging up your hot knife when it is not in use.

loosen the 2 screws at the head of your hot knife. They should only be
loosened and tightened by hand, never with a screwdriver.

the adaptor pins into the holes in the end of the hot knife. Be
sure to position the
allen screws on the adaptor pins in an accessible position. Tighten the
two large head screws finger tight to hold the adaptor pins in place. Do
not use a screwdriver to tighten the large screws.

the legs of your wire design into the hot knife adaptor pins. Then tighten the allen
screws with the wrench provided. Your custom hot wire cutter is
