Foam cutter - any ideas?

Post by _FL_ »

Hi, I need to build a little foam cutter similar to a circular saw. The cut width should be adjustable. Does anybody have examples or links for that?

I have a few links, first, you can mount something like THIS TOOL to the bottom of a table with an adjustable fence.

But if your dead set on a hot wire table, I ALWAYS GO TO INSTRUCTABLES when Im trying to figure out how to make something.
