One of those tools you wonder how you managed without it
While attending a model engineering show here in the UK I happened upon a stand (booth) demonstrating the GyroCut cutting tool. Their strap line is ‘works like a pen …. cuts like a knife’.
After standing watching the demo for more than a few minutes I came away with two of their cutters, one for me and a child friendly version for my granddaughter.
The GyroCut does what it says on the tin. You use the tool like a pen to trace the outline of the object you want to cut. It is available with different blades depending on the medium you are working with. It is now in regular use in my workshop. I would put it almost on a par with my 3DConnexion SpaceMouse for its impact on my way of working. (It has the added benefit that I am not needing so many sticking plasters to staunch my scalpel induced blood letting).
I have no affiliation with GyroCut, just very pleased to have discovered this useful tool. Have a look at their website to see it in action.
