Tool Vibration ultrasonic knife

[Janger]

I thought we were talking about ultrasonic knives on here but I can’t find anything. Anyway I was reading about them and this kickstarter came along. I’ve taken the plunge and committed to get one. The main reason is cleaning up 3D prints but I’m sure other uses will surface. It’s a risk it will materialize and be any good.

I've heard of these before but never tried one. Maybe the kickstarter has different specs but have a gander In AliLand

Yikes those are spendy!

But they cut really nicely. I saw a demonstration of an industrial ultrasonic knife being used to cut frozen desserts: beautiful, clean cuts with almost no pressure and no buildup on the blade. IIRC, $20K and looked like a miniature guillotine.

The kickstarter I referenced above is $150CAD for a cordless version. Will it be good? Will it ship? hope so...
