There are so many foams that you must contact the supplier of the foam to see if it can be cut with a hot wire, and if it can you must ask if there are any health or safety hazards when cutting their foam with hot wire tools. If this is the green Styrofoam, then yes it can be cut safely with our Hot Knife.

[HockeyNick79]

Can you use this on that green craft foam?

[hwff69]

@HockeyNick79 There are so many different kinds of foams that you must contact the supplier of the foam to see if it can be cut with a hot wire, and if it can you must ask if there are any health or safety hazards when cutting their foam with hot wire tools. If you're talking about the green Styrofoam, then yes it can be cut safely with our Hot Knife.

Would cutting upholstry foam with a hot knife give off any toxic fumes?

[hwff69]

@DDofCourage Yes. You should always check with the manufacturer of the foam you are cutting to be sure there are no health or safety hazards when cutting their foam with hot wire tools. We recommend that the polyurethane foams (aka upholstery foams) only be cut with a blade or saw.

will it cook hash?

[hwff69]

Is it a polystyrene foam that you are cutting? Some foams should not be cut with heat. Hot Wire Foam Factory tools will cut both closed cell and open cell polystyrene foams. These are the white beaded foams used for insulation, coffee cups, packaging, etc. They will also cut the closed cell extruded foams like DOW Blueboard foam. The extruded foam are usually more dense and cut slower, but but very cleanly. The Hot Scroll Table and Sculpting Tool will give you the cleanest cut.

[ecko911]

I got one similar to this. However I cut closed cell ones and it makes sticky strings which really is unpleasant. Is it me that do something wrong? Because so far I would rather use my ol' x-acto.

p.s. english not my main language.

Thanks.

[blackwolf9710]

is that an open celled foam piece cause i need to know

[hwff69]

@blackwolf9710 It is open cell foam. It is called EPS foam. Hot wire tools will also cut extruded polystyrene foam, which is closed cell.

You can get them from Hot Wire Foam Factory in the US:

805-735-9255

It is widely distributed in the UK (Hobby's) and Australia.

[unstoppableExodia]

awesome, how do I get my hands on one?

[108cutiepie]

and you almost never die from the toxic fumes. :D. just thought i should point that out.

[hwff69]

The smoke that is primarily CO2 and water vapor. The toxic values are far less than wood-smoke which contains tars, resins, creosote, and aseic acid. The dust from cutting with saws and sanding EPS foam is more harmful than the fumes when cutting foam. Always wear a good quality dust mask when saw cutting or sanding EPS foam.

Always check with the manufacturer of the foam you are using to make sure that there are no health or safety hazards when cutting their foam with hot wire tools.

[hwff69]

You can call our toll free number 1-866-735-9255 and we can give you the tech-support number for DOW who manufactures Styrofoam. They told us that the fumes from cutting their foam with a hot wire are not toxic, but cutting should still be done in a well ventilated area.
