ROMECH30W Electric Rope Cutter, Hot Knife Thermal Blade, Bench Mount Cutting Tool Kit for Braid Fabric Webbing Belting Ribbon (30W, RM-016)

This thing just plan works I’ve cut approximately five thousand pieces of para cord and and rope it’s a time saver for the projects I’m working on

This makes such quick, and clean cuts to polypropylene rope! No more wrestling with wire cutters and butane lighters to cut and heat seal lengths of polypro rope, as this thing makes quick work of cutting and heat sealing rope lengths for all my knotting projects. It effortlessly cuts and heat seals 1/4 l-inch to 1-inch diameter rope lengths in one easy motion.

I needed the cutter to make comfort and safety items for daughter's wheelchair and lift - to cut nylon and polyester webbing straps. It is great and does the job!

Heats up quick and seems like it will last forever. Much better than any hot knife with coiled heating elements in the blade

Members of my church cut ~2000 6' long ¼" ropes each year for making school back packs for Lutheran World Relief to distribute around the world as needed. About 15 years ago I made a fixture to make this a quick and easy process. In that time I had 2 other smaller units fail. This time I looked harder for hopefully a more reliable product. In the end, this is the one I chose and I think it was the right one for us. This is much heavier and has I believe a more rugged blade. This is the only one that has a variable setting for temperature control. Those that use it have told me it operates much faster. In the last month they have already gone through 750 cuts. There is one word of caution that want share and the reason I didn't give it a 5-Star rating. You may find that you will get a buzzing at some adjustments of the dial. To me I believe the transformer is around some resonance point which means the coils are trying to vibrate. This could have a big impact on the life of this product. Therefore, tell the operators not to leave it at a setting where this occurs. Either increase of decrease the setting.

Been using daily for at least 2 years. Great for smaller ropes. Ok for bigger ropes. Easy to clean. Make sure you have good ventilation. It does get smokey especially if you’re cutting big ropes.

Worked as expected
