Balsa stripper. GREEN STUFF WORLD 62400

Balsa stripper. This stripper has been engineered to accurately cut balsa sheets and many other materials such as foamed pvc, plastics, cork, foams, etc.. up to 1/4" (6mm) thick into strips up to 1/2" (12mm) wide. This design has a lead screw with 32 threads per inch so that each turn of the wheel will move the blade 1/32 of an inch (0.8 mm). Starting with the blade in the initial position, four turns will produce a perfect 1/8" (3mm) strip. The blade furnished is the Type 11 used in modeling knives so they are replaceable. To install or replace the blade, loosen the retaining screws and slip a blade between the retainer and the slide. Place on a smooth Surface and with the blade nearly vertical, tighten the screws. Note that the stripper can be set up for left or right handed use. Stripping is best done on a smooth surface. Draw the stripper toward you along the edge of the material to cut.
