Foam Cutter

Nice versatile foam cutter. Looks like it will work a lot like a table saw for foam. I should show this to my daughter in law who is in to that stuff.

nicely done, so clean,
is it heat or vibration that does the cutting?

The video is great! I’m looking forward to seeing how you built that thing!

It is a hotwire that heats to about 500-600 deg F. and then cuts the foam like butter.

That is pretty slick.

-- Live to tell the stories, they sound better that way.

That’s and outstanding ingenious idea.

I like all of it but I gotta ask – machine work or CNC on the fixture pieces ?

Definitively no CNC involved. I am a lumberjock not a machinist :)
My tools are mitersaw, routertable, disksander, beltsander, drill press and dremel.

So elaborate. Looks like a do it all center for foam.

I’ve only ever done straight cuts for inside walls. 6” taping knife, and a straight edge. Knife goes through the foam like it’s butta.
