Aeropiccola Polystyrene Foam Cutter
This lot is an Aeropiccola polystyrene foam cutter, a bench-mounted tool for cutting polystyrene foam. It is offered as a single lot. The cutter has a cast blue-painted frame with a curved arm that carries a fine wire bow above a round, grey metal turntable. The turntable sits on a base housing a black rocker switch, and a white mains cable extends from the base. The maker’s oval yellow rating label reads “Aeropiccola”, “Vibro”, “Voltaggio 240”, “Periodi 50”, “Watt 150”, and “Torino – Italy”. This indicates a 240 volt, 50 hertz, 150 watt rating, and manufacture in Torino, Italy. A section of white polystyrene remains on the turntable beneath the wire.
Condition and Collector Interest
The cutter shows signs of use. The turntable has scattered marks, scuffs and speckling across its surface, and the blue paint on the frame and base has worn in places. The wire bow and its mounting show light wear. The lot is offered as viewed, and prospective buyers are advised to inspect it carefully before bidding. Interest may come from hobbyists, modellers, workshop enthusiasts and those who collect Italian-made tools. The Aeropiccola name and the printed rating label are clear points of identification for buyers researching this maker.
