Polystyrene Channel Cutting Machine
The Caswick polystyrene channel cutting machine hot wire cuts straight and curved channels to your specific profile and shape. The machine can also cut shapes such as round tubes using a straight wire. More complicated profiles can be made using a milling spindle.
Key Features
- Channel cutting using pre-formed, rigid, hot wire cutting tools to create your chosen profile. Typically for manhole bases these are a half pipe profile but they can be of any profile you choose.
- Wires are easily formed on site from coils for your chosen profile and loaded into a tool rack for the machine.
- The depth of the channel can be to your choice meaning that you can make half pipe or level invert connections.
- Straight shapes can be cut using a hot wire. These can be any shape and include tapers.
