How to make a Wood Strip Cutter

This video shows how I made a Wood Strip Cutter in a few easy steps. This is a very useful tool for model making. I use this tool to cut balsa wood strips when I build model boats and model aircrafts. This is the most efficient, accurate and affordable method I found so far. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information. Thank you for watching my video.

Excellent. Suggestion: instead of fixing with screws, you could set the blade at standard widths and at each one, drill a vertical hole down through the top into the movable block. To use, just set it in place with a removable dowel each time - no need to measure and would keep the blade very steady. Cheers and thanks from Sydney, Dave

Beautiful! I love the elegant simplicity of this clever idea, and how you present it so clearly without any words. Excellent!

[@patrol681]

Such a simple idea, yet brilliant! Thanks for sharing, I will be making one, now.

[@meztruo]

i make architecture models for work and if there is something annoyin is to cut the strips.. i use a sort of dense cardboard. can't wait to build this, thanks for the tutorial!

[@vows2sweden]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! NO TALKING!!!

[@my3yorkies]

Well that's as simple as can be. And looks like great results with ease. Thanks for sharing your simple tool, it will prove to be very useful for me.

[@neredrego]

love the simplicity, works beautifully

[@glennfelpel9785]

Very good presentation and a good idea as well. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@Alatinu]

Thank you Very Much for teach us, and congratulations for your inventive!. A big regards from South America

[@joewoodchuck3824]

In addition to an adjustment screw someone else mentioned for setting the cut width, I think I'll add a slide vernier caliper so there's a built in means for measuring. There are adequately accurate inexpensive plastic ones on eBay.

[@ale8oneboy]

I could see using this same tool on foam-core as well. Great design!

[@geoffreydowen5793]

Sanjay, I made one of these yesterday 3/11/22 before I start my MK1 Spitfire build . thank you

[@jogrev]

Excellent. Thank you for sharing your cutter!!!

[@GNU_Linux_for_good]

Holy cow! That's one good jig.

[@Bright8888]

Great idea to cut balsa wood. An improvement would be to use a lead screw to slide the blade. This will make the depth of cut adjustment very easy and precise.

[@urieperoramon6139]

Muy buen aporte, felicitaciones, esto indica que se encuentra dentro del circulo de ingenieros, saludos...

[@Finewoodworkingofsc]

Great technique. Thanks for sharing.

[@ecaff9515]

Great idea and process. Thank you for sharing.

[@cvbngfertyfdgh2121]

Very nice !! magnificent !! I think this is an energy efficient tool !! given that the only wood would be plywood. instead of wasting energy by using an electric saw blade.

[@bernieedwards8462]

Brilliant...I'll make one tomorrow....thanks so much!!!

[@nick17gar]

i wonder if this would work for leather too....? ill give it a shot. what wood did you use?

[@renultdriver]

That is brilliant.!!!...got to make me one..Thank you for showing me how.. Alan

[@NantachaiChootien]

[@TheGizmo47]

some sort of guard would be a great idea

[@martinjosealvarez]

Muy bueno desde Salamanca México

[@matthewsutton5532]

great idea... but will it cut rosewood?

[@1ginner1]

Nope, too hard, might do it in 3 or 4 passes.

[@dejayrezme8617]

Awesome, what thickness wood planks could you cut with something like this?

[@hansdegroot8549]

Nice video. Good idea, good cutter. What was the thickness of the balsa wood?

[@paulcalodd2218]

good job.great design thank you

[@ffff1758]

simple and well done!

[@robertjennings5558]

Awesome. Just gotta get the blade and its made. THX

[@veemercer1698]

Excellent video!

[@danceanddreams1]

...and: how often can you fix the slider with woodscrews? it never works this way with hardwood

[@MrGlorybe]

Might be great for cutting self stick floor tiles as well.

[@paraglide01]

very smart, well done sir.

[@matthewbaker3875]

I need that, because I want to cut the size of 5/16 and 5/8 cut like lego size that's good one. I like this one.

[@unclelar53]

[@sajidullah]

Very Nice Sir .

[@ZulfikarAbdulaziz]

Excellent tool

[@JimBeshears]

Very nice!

[@miobeato23]

What kind of cutter are you using?

[@Semielfo]

What about a ruler marking in the mobile piece?

[@IantheWoodcraftsman]

Good gadget, but it looks like it's ideal for cutting balsa. Perhaps harder wood would not be so easy to cut.

[@johnconrad5487]

what is the material that you cut? it is white so I am confused by the color. If it is wood, then what kind of wood? Thanks

[@brianwalk108]

+John Conrad its balsa wood, that's why you can cut it so easily with just a razor.

[@cornfusedatbest6693]

Good stuff.

[@donniehodges97]

would this work for leather?

[@geomarko4161]

If the razor is sharp then it should

[@winterlight9]

This is very similar to a lace/strap cutter shown in Bruce Grants "Leather Braiding" book. If this was clamped to the edge of a table a full pelt could be worked through it much like and Australian strander.

[@dennisbuckner6957]

well done

[@professionallurker2624]

he needs to patent and market this product. could make a lot of money off of it

[@sayedabbas4138]

excellent

[@haticeart696]

Aferin !

[@asifmahmoodRashid]

unbelievable

[@ferretlov]

Would it work for hardwood too?

[@1ginner1]

Not in one pass.lol

[@andylancop]

The silence is deafening.

[@barryparks4838]

Brilliant

[@VladimirAndrLeon]

Затягивать лучше винтами а не саморезами.

[@baskm]

this is balsa wood this cutter will only work on this type of wood becouse balsa is soft...

[@spetnazer]

How make cut for 45 degree?

[@bhupendradesai3402]

Nice but wood of half or one inch it can not cutt.

[@danishasinghal2845]

where to get that blade

[@asifmahmoodRashid]

+Danisha Singhal normal paper cutter blade

[@EctoGamer]

what is it for?

[@EctoGamer]

+EctoGamer okay i didint watch to the end and now i saw

[@sueellenblubaugh934]

Smarti pants ...

[@connerbrandlemayer9292]

ya

[@romaineathey6512]

You can learn more about it on woodprix website I think.

[@andreejmarbbf52]

Stodoys plans help with such details.

[@TyyDaymon]

I know we’re sell a fancy one for 160$ starts with a V

[@johnking5691]

Would this work on human skin? Asking for a friend.

[@romeliapolly2519]

You can make it yourself, just loook and learn from woodprix .

[@dtriniboss]

needs a blade guard

[@jimmyhaley727]

yeah,,,, and don't forget gloves, steel toed boots and a hard hat with face shield,,,,, hehhehehe,,, ole USN vet

[@SaxLounge]

Where is the voice over!

[@vishladwa9543]

im bleeding!

[@MrTruth111]

How to make a finger cutter:) I think this is amazing! It really works wonderfully.

[@romeliapolly9631]

I am sure you can still buy handbook with all info you need on woodprix. Just google it.

[@andreejmarbbf52]

This and similar plans can be found on the stodoys website.

[@jaydenbrumous2582]

I have found a detailed design for it on the Stodoys website

[@romanaangersbach1176]

do it yourself , go to woodprix page and learn how .

[@gerheysenhof]

So what

[@davidfalkiner6035]

This video should be more about cutting strips, rather than making the wood strip cutter. For 90% of the video you just played with the blocks.

[@bowermanwinburn6723]

very detailed plans for that I found on Stodoys.
