Dwight Posted April 12, 2020 #1 Posted April 12, 2020 Has anyone had any experience with the Woodcutter S . I first saw it on facebook , then saw it in the Micro_Mark catalog. If what I've read this tool could make a hugh difference for modelers of all types. It's expensive so I don't want to buy one blind.

mtaylor Posted April 12, 2020 #2 Posted April 12, 2020 Do you have a link? Googling turns up nothing. Nor could I find it on the MicroMark page.

Jaager Posted April 12, 2020 #3 Posted April 12, 2020 Wondercutter is the product name. It looks to me as though the target material is too limited in density and thickness for it to provide much use for scratch building. mtaylor 1 NRG member 50 years Current: NMS HMS Ajax 1767 - 74-gun 3rd rate - 1:192 POF exploration - works but too intense -no margin for error HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - POF Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - POF Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

mtaylor Posted April 12, 2020 #4 Posted April 12, 2020 Ah.... thanks Jaager. Dwight, here's links to what's been posted: https://modelshipworld.com/topic/22183-wondercutter/ https://modelshipworld.com/topic/19131-oscillating-wonder-cutter For that price, you can buy some much better tools.
