ROMECH 100W Fabric Cutter Rope Cutter, Pro Electric Hot Knife Heat Sealer with Adjustable Power, Cutting Tool Kit with Blades & Accessories (100W, RM-014)

Well madeWorks great

Works really well. This is from someone that almost always 'makes do'.Heats within seconds and cuts like butter. Using it on a ceramic tile. Cutting grosgrain, Sunbrella, and scuba-thick webbing (for belts).

Works great. I am trying to balance my sewing equipment between the quality and high price of Sailrite and the quality and price savings of Amazon. This product has served me well for a fraction of the Sailrite price. I highly recommend for the hobbyist maker.

I purchased this cutter based on how it was presented. It is built very heavy duty and pricing was good. Works well for my application; cutting Cordura 1000D and various rip stop synthetic fabrics. Takes a little getting use to. Plan on a metal or plywood surface to cut fabric on. You will get a small amount of smoke with heavier fabrics so I did my cutting in the garage.Would have preferred a cordless design but pricing was a bit up there for my limited need.

The media could not be loaded. This hot knife is GREAT! It cuts very fast. The temperature control dial is certainly hard to read, but the light flickers when temperature is on low setting, and is solid when on high setting. So, once this is understood, it's somewhat intuitive to adjust temperature up and down based on the flickering frequency. And this works fine, since every material is different and having numbers on the dial probably wouldn't help much either.The fan comes on only when trigger is pulled, and is very quiet. Some of the other videos I saw of this in use made me think it would be a loud tool. It's definitely not. And the tool hasn't overheated at all, and has been cutting through everything like butta.It is certainly annoying though that this tool does not fit in its own case when the cutting blade is attached. So, I used the tool to modify the case, and it now fits just fine.This review is for: ROMECH 100W Air Cooled Fabric Cutter Rope Cutter, Pro Electric Hot Knife Heat Sealer with Adjustable Power, Cutting Tool Kit with Blades & Accessories (100W Air Cooled, RM-015)

Cuts cleanly with a little practice. I found a pine board backer helps. Depending on material thickness and weave, you can find a combination of downward pressure and travel speed will result in a very clean cut that requires very little touch up.

This is the first time I've used a hot knife and I am very impressed with this one. It works quick and easy. It got hot fast and cut through the line with very little pressure. The line was whipped beforehand because I didn't have a good feel for how well it work work.For using it to cut a 1/2 line 3 times it worked great. It seems well built and should have a long life.

Didn’t work for us the way we expected it. The fabric ended up all glued to each other then had to use a cutter to separate which ended up fraying all the material. Which is what we did not want. Will return.
