My Feedback: (8)

Here is what I have used for many years: A Master Airscrew Balsa Stripper mounted on a solid wood platform with a wood "fence" to keep everything straight. I always use a new, sharp, blade when cutting new stripwood and have the blade mounted so the point is raised just short of completely going through the balsa on a given pass. Very easy to just "break away" the stripwood and results in a nice edge. This stripper works great for anything up to 1/4" and I have used it on 3/8" stock with multiple passes; anything thicker and I just run it through my trusty Dremel saw.

Soft landings.
