I saw this At harbor freight today for $8.99

I should have bought one - I'll pick one up during the week.

What I like about it, besides price, is it looks like you use just regular X-acto Blades.
There's a Screw in attachment that the blade goes in.

These Blades do go Dull - Heck just cutting paper,
So Foam has to be worse, on the blade.

I Only use a Hot knife to remove the bottom Disc.
Would be nice to not have to buy Special Blades.

St0ney,
Did you pick one of these up? Did it work as advertised? (using regular exacto blades)

I didn't make it up there yet, the store is about an hour away from me,
So I'm waiting until I need more than just the hot knife.

My hot knife is about to die so I will pick one of these up as it is cheaper than the ones from Micheal's and have it shipped.

If I get it before you stop and pick one up I will share and let everyone know if it is worth picking up.

Thanks for finding this and hopefully it will work!
