lure unsuspecting people in buying a product from them,
be totally assured i have never supplied them with any of my bows or any other product in part or whole
…
I strongly advise
you to
be very wise
and
don’t ever be misled by these or any future fraudulent sale attempts of scam internet sites/e-shops…be aware they are only trying to sell you items they do not possess!
Regards,
Tasos.

Presenting a new line of
A-Just Precision Bows
, these
specialized foam cutting tools utilize a balanced combination of industrial grade materials resulting a lightweight/ slim line yet very rigid frame.
All bow size/versions
come fully assembled and individually tested
ready to plug in to your DC power unit… also furnished are the required keys for the tensioning procedure and a full 20 page detailed manual that describes each function, a power requirement chart , plus many foam cutting tips that only experts know.
What is not included is a DC variable output power unit, this is purposely omitted as described in following text…
please read the entire content of this listing so you fully understand the concept of these unique bows.
Please visit my other listings to separately see all five versions of A-Just bows… prices listed/stated are for each individual bow version and not for all five units.
A number of novel concepts render these bows particularly easy and practical to use ensuring first rate foam cutting even for beginning or first time users who up until now have had a difficult time achieving good results.
These same unique features will
be greatly appreciated by experienced craftsmen who are passionate for truly precise cutting achieved in a wide variety of EPS/XPS foam materials… they will also value the long term service of a sturdy and dependable tool aimed for extended production.
Versatile bows can easily be utilized for free manual cutting or either suspended/ bench mounted… producing highly accurate cutting jobs when utilizing CAD/CAM produced patterns or just quickly sizing foam blocks at the construction site. These quality tools are suitable for a wide range of users… from conceptual artists/3D shapers and professional model builders to industrial foam packing producers.
A-Just precision bows
are offered deliberately without a DC power supply unit
as i feel there is an extensive collection of high quality units on the market offered at modest cost so the choice is best left to the buyer… However advice/suggestions on proper selection and correct use of a variable/adjustable current unit are described on the extensive 20 page owner’s manual supplied with every bow.
Foam cutting is considered to be a combined science and art form…Detailed manual is filled with info/advice on proper bow use and expert foam cutting tips so even beginners will quickly become confident and proficient at foam cutting.
Photos presented in this listing show a type of variable current DC power unit without any intension to suggest any particular make or brand…it is shown only to highlight the proper use of these bows and is not included in any size package of A-just precision bows.
Please proceed to read carefully this entire listing and especially the specific notes on power supply units
and important safety warnings
before ordering your bow.
If you opt to order more than one bow size please send a message before you actually proceed with your payment, by describing your chosen sizes I can combine packages and make you an offer for a much reduced shipping cost.
I will be more than glad to assist with additional info so please feel free to send a message and will be answered promptly.
*** Special Features ***
All bow versions feature
high quality European made
custom titanium alloy cutting wires
that are
specifically produced
for foam cutting and of suitable diameter to their overall size and intended task… Special titanium alloy features ultra-strength combined with a low elongation coefficient and widest range of working temperature…These attributes make it possible to use small diameter/ highly tensioned wires for very accurate cutting results…remarkable quality industrial grade wires contributing to a long lasting tool.
Five individual/practical bow sizes
are available of 12/24/36/42 and 48 inch length… just choose the appropriate size closest to your specific task and foam block/panel to be used, optimally users should need to handle the weight and frame size just required for the job.
All versions are equipped with unique wide range
dual adjustable wire tensioning
mechanisms independently adjusted at both ends of the bow…they are
sturdy and reliable plus very easy and practical to use. Titanium cutting wires can be finely tuned for any specific task or restore tension lost after prolonged use.
Dual spring power is sufficient to be stretched for very high tension… or used in a slightly slackened state as some artists prefer for free hand sculpture curving. Wide adjusting range is available to ensure your wire will retain its required tension for a long time… additionally bows can be stored at a relaxed tension which prolongs wire service life and maintains tensioning spring efficiency.
Required keys for the tensioning procedure included with each bow package.
During tensioning procedure the cutting wire is
not subjected to twisting forces, made possible by the use of
dual friction free swivels
hooked separately at the end of each tensioning spring… rotating swivels are reliable made in Japan units.
Novel concept of
heat sink metal tubes
at both ends of cutting wire function as
failsafe protection
against accidental overcurrent/overheating preventing cutting wire failures.
Method of attaching/assembling the titanium wires does not involve crimping or other mechanical means that can inflict local superficial nicks/scratches etc… wires are
assembled using an elaborate custom made jig
resulting a totally secure way that simultaneously maintains their straightness over the entire usable bow length and virgin spool manufactured state.
Majority of quality components are
custom made/ CAD designed
with highly accurate parts either milling machine or laser cut produced, all mechanical connections are precision threaded for a rigid/ bolt on modular assembly that is easily serviced …if ever needed.
Equipped with
fingertip
/micro touch industrial grades switches
with reserve current rating allowance, larger bow sizes (36/42/48) feature ergonomically located and independently actuated dual switches. All versions use efficient multi strand internal cable wiring that is flow soldered and properly insulated at every connection.
Unique concept
of concealed cutting wire electrical contact that is positively maintained throughout the entire tensioning range ensures your bow will reliably work at all times.
Each bow size utilizes an
optimized rectangular cross section frame
ensuring the highest strength to weight ratio for its particular length. These lightweight but sturdy aluminum frames are able to slightly bend under full wire tensioning but not yield permanently or ever break, really built to last for many years of extended use… all frames are electro statically painted for durability of surface finish.
Featuring a variety of custom produced components such as:
dual high strength steel springs
of a pulling force that is
tailored to each specific wire diameter/length
…three separate versions of frame reinforcing metal braces that are laser cut and quality wire brush finished… bow legs end in rigid
laminated holding blocks
containing the
variable tension mechanism
.
For each size version the actual available wire length is approximately two inches longer than the reference bow size… for example the 36 size/version bow has a
nominal cutting wire length
of 36 inches plus
2 inches of extra cutting wire
accumulating to 38inches of total-end to end- wire length.
Note:
The 42 inch version is offered as a special
one meter size
filling the need/gap for a practical length between the 36 and 48 inch bows… it features a nominal wire length of 106.7mm (plus 50mm extra length) so it is the perfect size for European users where most frequent foam blocks available are easy to manipulate standard 1000x700mm size… USA customers will also find it very useful in cutting tasks where the 36 inch bow is just barely enough to do the job and the 48 size feels too large.

Before placing your order please read carefully the following important notes
:
*** Notes for Power Supply requirements***
These bows
purposely do not include a DC power source
as i feel there is an extensive collection of units on the market so the choice is best left to the buyer. However in order for these bows to work efficiently it is strongly advised/recommended that you obtain a
good quality regulated DC power supply unit equipped with a separately variable Voltage/Amp function and able to supply current within the minimum/maximum range of input Watt requirement for your chosen
bow size.
Please view these min/max current values presented on the basic specifications table presented on this listing... feel free to send a message for further advice if in doubt about a specific choice of power supply for your A-Just Precision bow.
It cannot be overemphasized that for the very best precision cutting results of all five bow sizes the above mentioned variable current/power supply unit is obtained and used… best range choice: min/max 0-60V/0-5A.
This is the best way to precisely control cutting wire temperature for a multitude of EPS/XPS foam densities, accurate wire temperature control can also prolong wire or bow components service life expectancy as it can prevent overheating due to an accidental initial high current surge.
*** Safety notes ***
These bows are designed to specifically use only a
low voltage/current (Max 60V/5A) DC power supply unit
in order to properly/safely work, It is very important that the buyer/user
does not even attempt to connect these units directly to an AC 110/220Volt high current/voltage outlet or other AC high power electrical source
as this action is extremely dangerous and can lead to physical harm or property damage.
Units use the hot wire concept to cut through foam materials, please be extremely careful not to touch the hot cutting wire while the bow is powered up and used as this action can lead to severe physical harm and skin burns.
All bow sizes are produced using high quality industrial grade components to ensure a long and dependable service life and safety to the user, however each individual buyer/owner is solely responsible for their correct use according to every purpose designed in function and he additionally must conform and strictly follow
every safety/correct use note described in the owner’s manual which is included with each bow package… we strongly advise that this manual must be read thoroughly many times and clearly understood before first use of your bow.
It is strongly advised that buyers/users do not unnecessarily disassemble, modify or do drilling or other machining operations on their bows… these actions could lead to possible damage of internal components or cables and compromise the safe use of your bow.
A-Just precision bows are very practical and easy to use units supplied with a very detailed/extensive manual describing foam cutting operations and correct use of your bow with great detail so even first time users are guided to success.
However it would be wise to seek the aid and guidance of a competent technician if you feel you are not entirely confident to handle a cutting bow for the very first time…If you are in doubt for any function or safety details of these bows please feel free to ask for specific advice by sending a message, i will be more than glad to assist you.
Bows will be carefully packaged and shipped in special made composite construction
boxes specific/suitable for each individual bow size… these are made of a hard flute exterior cardboard box reinforced internally with thick foam supporting members, this packaging concept produces
a very strong box ensuring safe arrival to international destinations.
