Master Airscrew Balsa Stripper has been engineered to accurately cut balsa wood 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 base, four turns will produce a perfect 1/8" strip.
The blade included is a type #11 used in modelling knives, which is easily replaceable when the blade dulls.
