Topic: Balsa Sheet to Strip Cutter Info?

Information required please!  Can anyone describe their own cutter for this useful job?  Either home made or bought.
Thanks,
Sean S.

I have a Master Airscrew stripper which is quite useful... http://www.masterairscrew.com/GoCart/itemlist.asp?ID=1269&RootID=1057

i've got the same one, one of the best tools i've bought

So have I. Simple and works well. Each full turn of the screw moves the blade exactly 1/32 inch.

Whats the maximum width it can cut?

Me too, excellent piece of kit

itll do a tad over half  inch,  but really, half inch is its size limit

I have the SLEC(?) one.
Width of strip set by packing pieces, cutter runs in 1metre long aluminium channel.  I have mounted it on a bit of mdf and have cut up to 1/4"x1/4".  Sorry no pictures.

However, hadn't seen the one DW and the chaps have before and that seems much more useful/handy.  
Found a link to a seller:

I will be getting one next time I visit SMC.

The Master stripper with a piece of 3/16 square balsa glued to the underside to give an angled cut is what I used on the Mifchell. After a few hiccups at first I soon got used to it. The only disadvantage I can see is when you have got over halfway across a sheet you have to be careful not to get tapered strips as the sheet bends while cutting it. (3/32 soft balsa)

Got mine from Webbies years ago - contact details are on www.servoshop.co.uk

hadn't realised the one I use is SLEC, ally channel with plastic gadget that slides along it, mine is mounted on a long strip of plastic coated 15mm MDF

the width is set with plastic inserts and is a bit of a fiddle to use, but very useful when building from plans/home-brews
