Hey Craig --

Depending upon your "buy vs build" mentality: They make soldering gun rope cutting tips:

A soldering gun is just a step down transformer that delivers lots of Amps to the wire that makes up the tip. You could buy a soldering gun and gut it for the parts.

Lets say I want to make a custom one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CP70IDU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2IGZ09LPUKLVH&psc=1

The blade gets up to 1200 F in a few seconds.

What do I need to investigate to heat a blade safely like that? (I can buy that blade for ~$23, or open to other blade ideas)

I know I could buy one of these machines, I am interested in changing the form factor though. Maybe add a motion sensor, when no motion, shut the system off.

I can borrow one to get measurements if that helps.

Thanks

Craig
