Next Northern Tool post better be a storage shed because y'all are going to need some place to put all these tools you'll rarely use 😂
Description: "Has 3 3/7" to 5 1/2" adjustable blade".

What kind of wild non-conformist measures in 7ths of an inch? smh
You can use this to cut out space in kaizen foam to securely store your tools such as a spot for your hot knife.

Come on, old timer, get with it. Everyone these days is measuring in 7ths. A 7th is the new 8th, odd numbers are the new even numbers, we're using stones to measure weight, and for volume everything is measured in terms of the 1.5 quart (a gallon jug is now a two-and-two-thirds 1.5 quart jug).
Or maybe it was just a typo.

No need to cut those, just give me a fork, and stand back.

I'm thinking of getting this for cutting slabs of beeswax into smaller pieces. Any thoughts on this from those familiar with this tool?

If you happen to be building an ICF construction house, this is the cleanest way to make cutouts for electrical outlet, switch, and other boxes in the wall. This, and a small electric chainsaw with a depth guide, can do 90% of the wire work in ICF walls.

Anyone know if this would be good for car seats?

I have seen graters used on YT,
Planning on replacing my car seat foam and covers in the Summer.

Score with a putty knife and break it. You don't need to slice it through.

Yes, that would work just fine at lower temperatures. If you turn the temperature up much you're going to quickly reach the smoking point of the wax, smoke yourself out and also char the edges of the cut.

You could even (very carefully) sharpen one of the edges to make for a cleaner, more minimal cut. This tool is typically used to "melt" cut through material, but I suspect you want a minimum of mess and waste of wax, so slow physically cutting with a heated tool should work best for your purpose I believe.
