Heated Xacto Knife

Hey everyone! Just modded my soldering iron to use an xacto blade to help cut the foam. The heated blade makes it much easier.

I had looked at Plasmana's tutorial on how to mod one, and it some what worked for me. You can find his work here

Hot Knife Soldering Iron

But I had a small xacto knife that worked perfectly! I was thinking, " I need something like what is on the knife itself to hold it in for me, then I thought, why not use it!" I had a big knife, but that the thread on the screw was to big to work with my soldering iron. But the small one worked great! So now I have a heated exacto knife! I got mine at hobby lobby awhile back, their brand for pretty cheap. A few dollars at most. So thought I would share!
