Tom D Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 why would you want one ive been cementing them for over 30yrs with no bother ( think of the fumes ) if I recall correctly they were just a powerfull soldering iron with a custom made " ducks beak " kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I've never needed to use an electric knife. Use a bloody sharp knife to slice around the edge to remove the sole and then re-bond with 5050 - never had a return. Those fumes are probably carcinogenic. Rick.

SteelCityShoes Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I’m pretty sure you can’t get them anymore as PVC fumes are toxic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Worksop Heel Bar Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Cheers for the answers My dad used to use one years ago and he was wondering if they could still be bought or not. 5050 it is then. kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I use birches 20/20, and I've recently done 7 pairs, not had any back, all I do different to normal is warm the boot up slightly as well as the new unit, and press as normal.

Perplexus Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 The electric knives produced smoke that contains cyanide! Doubt whether they're still (legally) available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Original instructions with D.M. electric knife reads " gives off harmless but acrid smelling fumes" Don't know how true the harmless bit is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
