Our Crafters Hot Knives work great for releasing the adhesives used on guitar necks! The blades can be used to heat up the adhesive without the potential damage to the finish caused by steam from a mini iron. This kit includes two 4-Inch Hot Knives and two Crafters Power Supplies.
Includes:
NOTE: Does not include the wooden guide featured in the images! It only includes what's mentioned above!
Need help figuring out which size drillbit to use for the holes? One of our customers told us:
"I used a 1.3mm (0.051") drill and it was perfect for the 4-Inch Hot Knife blade. Personally, I wouldn't go any smaller because the crimped tip binds up easily, otherwise. If you don't have a 1.3mm drill I would recommend anything from 3/64" (0.0469") up to 1/16" (0.0625). With the 3/64" you might have to re-drill the hole to open it up slightly. Don't force the blade or you might wreck it."
Be sure to test this on a scrap of wood before drilling into your guitar.
Features a handy on/off switch right on the handle and comes with 10 feet of power cord.
CAUTION: These tools are designed for cutting soft foam. DO NOT FORCE the blade downward. Gently push the blade downward into your predrilled hole.
