Details

Cutting tool for balsa and soft craft wood strips. Easily cuts precision strips up to 1/2” wide.

Master Airscrew Balsa Stripper has been engineered to accurately cut balsa sheets up to 1/4” thick into strips up to 1/2” wide. The design has a lead screw with 32 threads per inch so that each turn of the wheel will move the blade 1/32 of an inch. Starting with the blade against the blade, four turns will produce a perfect 1/8” strip.

I build custom Radio Control Airplanes. I start with paper plans and bulk balsa. I own 3 Master Airscrew Balsa strippers. I can set each of them to cut different size stringers or stock, allowing me to cut consistent and repetitively dimensioned material quickly and as I need it. I have owned these for years and use them ofter. This tool is invaluable to me.

OK, I AM 84 AND A RETIRED AIRCRAFT MECHANIC FROM AMERICAN AND HORIZON AIR LINES. HAVE BEEN BUILDING MODELS FOR YEARS, WHEN STARTING, PURCHASED ALL OF THE QUALITY TOOLS AVAILABLE. YOU HAVE DEVELOPED A LINE OF OUT STANDING TOOLS WHICH HAS ADVANCED MY BUILDING OVER MANY YEARS. THE RESENT PURCHASE OF THE STRIPPING TOOL WAS BECAUSE MY PREVIOUS ONE IS HIDING SOME WHERE IN MY SHOP. JUST DECIDED TO BUILD STICK MODEL, AND HAD TO FREEHAND CUT SOME 1/16" STICKS AS THE KIT BALSAWOOD WAS TO SOFT. WITH THIS NEW STRIPPER HERE, I CAN SIZE MY NEXT MODEL MUCH FASTER. GREAT LINE OF PRODUCTS. RICHARD AMA410664

Have one of these purchased many years ago, and wanted another just in case. Have used it quite a bit over the years and it is still hanging in there. The only negative I see is the plastic material on the new ones is softer so time will tell on how well it holds up.

The cutter is basically a holder for a blade. It has no measuring scale but it does the job well.

Haven't had a chance to use this tool yet, but will be using it to cut strips of mahogany edging for a scale model boat. I will report on this later. Nice looking tool that should do the job.

For its price, it’s an ok tool. I’ts not a precision stripper though. I’ve only used it to cut a 3/16” balsa sheet into 3/16” sticks, and the results weren’t as spected: There was variation on the sticks width, and the sticks weren’t square. There is too much slop in the tool sliding mechanisms, and the blade holder isn’t strong enough to prevent the blade from slipping during cutting. I believe the stripper should work better cutting thinner balsa at a larger width. Nevertheless, it’s a good tool to have as you can use it to cut different materials. You just have to keep in mind it’s limitations. Again; for the price, it’s an ok tool.

I've had a balsa stripper for many years but after a very long layoff from building, I just couldn't find my original one. To me, this tool is indespensible to building model aircraft! If Murphy's law still applies, I will find my original one soon after I start using my new one! I don't mind if I do as I can have each one set for different widths!

Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it looks like a fine tool. My friends who recommended it like it.
