Wondercutter The S Ultrasonic Cutter

When I purchased this cutter, it was wonderful. Seven months later it is very weak and hardly cuts at. All, even after charging the battery. I have used this now non-working tool gingerly. I tried to use it again this evening. Nothing! Nada. I have cleaned the collet, cleaned the throat that it inserts into, as well as change the blade according to the instructions supplied.It’s dead and I feel that I was taken by Micro-Mark. When purchasing a $400.00 tool, one expects it to cut a while. Not this thing. Again, I loved it when I first started using it. Now it’s a piece of junk that is taking up bench space. Thanks for another short life tool Micro-Mark.

So turn it on and cut. Not sure how it works but is super easy to use and its a product that does a nice cut. Especially on leather it works well.

I’ve owned multiple brands of ultrasonic cutters and this one works fine, but depending on what your cutting, it locks up and refuses to cut.

This product is useless for cutting plastic. It seizes up after minutes of use, and must be precision cleaned and sometimes it’s cheap, brittle blades and easy to lose micro-components changed out. It is sometimes a worse thing to buy and have a tool that is supposed to do a thing, than it is to have no tool at all. I would not recommend for busy scale modelers, props professionals, or serious creatives. In fact, I wish I’d never bought it at all.

This cutter makes an easy job of tricky slicing operations especially when you want to open something up carefully to look at the interior. I use it both for hobby and for work and have found it to be much more effective than other cutting methods. I highly recommend it especially when you have to make cuts around sensitive components such as electronic boards or other functional parts. The beauty is that minimal force is required, thus allowing more precision. The tool is relatively well designed an ergonomic although it does feel a little small and the button for activation is in a position that could be better located. Overall this is a great tool especially if you’re looking to do precise operations.

I wanted to love this, but it is so limited in use that it's impossible to justify the price. The ergonomics are terrible - the coiled cord pulls away from what I'm trying to work on. The blade is tiny, but it's not good for detailed work because the handle is so bulky and you have to hold down a button with your forefinger the whole time.If you need to cut flat, thin, rigid items, this could work for you.

Their products are of very high quality.

I don't think I read the product description well, since I didn't realise this was battery powered. What a fun surprise.Pros:-Cuts what I want it to cut (mostly and almost exclusively plastics/acrylics), but we'll get back to that in the "cons" section-The battery seems weirdly hefty-Lightweight but not cheap feeling.Cons:-The complaints that this "melts" and then cuts are well founded, SO... if you want to cut something to 1in I'd suggest going 1/16th over then sand down to size.- This is a dangerous "con", the charging port leaks power. I found this neat "feature" out when I plugged in the charger without plugging it into the wall and the LED indicator lit up on the charger. That's some potentially dangerous circuitry design at this price range.Conclusion:While better models are usually nearly 2-3 times as much, for the price, it works but you are not getting a professional or even "prosumer" level kit. It does technically do what it says it does, but not at the quality it says. It melts too much, and you'd be better off just buying a hot knife for the same effect.
