Hobby Lobby International sells a Balsa Stripper; see:
http://www.hobby-lobby.com/planer.htm
I have at least 3 other strippers, and this is by far the best. The setting can't "drift off", as on the Kavan, and it provides a much longer bearing surface than others, for straighter strips. The only modification I made was enlarging the holes in the spacers for ease in changing settings. The holes, as furnished, work, but are very fussy as to alignment. The cutter is a Swann-Morton Type "V" scalpel blade, and I'm still on the original.
The Planer on the same page is pretty good, too; just not exceptional.
