I'm sure that the "other" equipment nerds on the Forum can suggest many ways to improve this. For example you could insert this into a drill press to keep it vertical and control depth. ;)
Thanks for sharing the link Sailor

Sailor, I like this suggestion! Turn on the drill, pull the handle down lowering the cutter and have spiral cut curds. ;)
This is definitely on my list of "have to make"!
Here's my take on that style of curd cutter, made a couple of years ago - it has continued to work well for me.
Could also be inserted into a hand mixer. I would also use a sharp edge instead of the round tube to minimize curd damage.
Such a simple, yet effective design! Thanks for sharing Sailor!
Well, I said "here's my take" and then forgot to include the link! Here it is: https://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,13485 (https://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,13485)
Great design Andy.
