A hot wire foam cutter / styro slicer is a great addition to the workshop, useful for prototyping, mold making for concrete and modeling with foam.
I have created a feature rich and versatile hot wire foam cutter with a bunch of jigs to assist in creating exceptionally accurate hot wire cutting.
This hot wire foam cutter includes; an inbuilt LED light, adjustable angle arm, Volt and AMP meter display with adjustable volts up to 15 volts allowing the temperature to be precisely controlled. additional port for hand held accessories, circle and cone cutting jig, 45 and 90 degree with set stops jig, the never seen before quick change straight edge jig, thin rip fence jig, and fence, quick release tensioner, quick wire clamp release, micro adjuster for setting up the nichrome wire to 90 degrees accurately, foot pedal operated. and a bunch of other neat functional and design features.
The foam cutter / styro slicer has a high level of precision and with the innovative straight edge jig you can get very precise straight cuts even in odd shaped scraps of foam.
Building your own hot wire foam cutter / syrup slicer is relatively easy , there will be a build video that follows, this will include wiring diagrams and details of all the electronic parts used with a good overview of the steps to build the whole hot wire cutter.

Great stuff! The only offer I have is to have you reconsider the need to apologize for being perfectionistic. The high quality and level of precision you bring is actually what makes your build most attractive. The cutter is an artistic self expression of who you be in the world. If you have to apologize for who you are then you might as well pack it up. Again, great work and thank you for the value you are and give so generously!

You use materials like the aluminum extrusion, custom knobs, and electrical components that aren't used as often. The build is very professional looking and built very well. Can't wait for all of the videos detailing how to make it. Thanks for the great content. For the build video please if possible include a list of materials and where to buy. It would be great help. Again thanks.

I combined a couple of things, this type of clamping handle (amzn.to/2GLT7fj) and this type corner bracket (amzn.to/2J4tpYs) along with aluminium t-slot nuts. I did actually manage to find these corner brackets but with a hooked edge so i only needed one t-slot nut per side, unfortunately i cant find them to share with you but the links i shared should solve your need. Thanks for the kind comments :) i think maybe top 2 - lol

I just ran across your hot wire cutter & love it. As for making lock for the slide board when making cone cut. You solved the problem already. Use the top of fence for locking a removal fixture. The removal fixture would be a strip of wood the length of slide board & height of distance from slide board to top of fence & two short dowels on bottom that would fit into slide board holes. Then attach another piece of wood to top side of dowel piece to make an over hang on fence top with same locking slot you used on slide board before. You posted this video a long time ago & you probably came up with this same idea already. But if not here it is. Thanks

Any tips on getting smooth cuts when doing freehand cuts like the letter “a” you did? Just come with practice?
@StuffIMade

Yep. You can freehand, not to hot mind, practice helps, smooth rehearsed moves, muscle memory. Or you can make top and bottom templates and pin them on to the foam, but you have to be sure they are aligned to each other.

Any thoughts on producing any more of these and selling them?

I want to buy this. The craftmanship is amazing, design simple but functional! My only nitpick is no gradation on anything but I would still buy this!
@StuffIMade
@StuffIMade 7 лет назад
Discipol thanks! The reason for no gradation is because if I want a specific angle I want it to be highly accurate, so I prefer to make angle templates to slide up against the wire to set my angles. I think probably for what I do 3 or 4 angles suffice. The variance in the wire when adjusted to 90° and the accuracy of locking the arm at a set angle repeatedly required more effort to be totally accurate so I opted not to do this. But I get where you are coming from!

This hot wire foam cutter is a sterling testament of OUTSTANDING ingenuity and craftsmanship on the part of its creator/builder! Can you provide advice/tips for constructing a similar device that can be used to cut foam wing cores (airfoils) of varying lengths up to 48 inches (including 'twist" - wing washout from root airfoil to tip airfoil)?

Yes - I will upload photos of a foam wing airfoil for a Beechcraft Bonanza radio-controlled model airplane. The foam core consists of three individually cut segments to accommodate a tapered leading edge and "twist" wherein the root airfoil is at -5 degrees, and the tip airfoil is at 0 degrees. I'll try to get photo shots and upload same to you within the next 2 hours or so.
