Hi all, don't know if anybody does foam for buildings , and stuff, I just started so I have used my table saw to cut the 1" pink foam, but so much dust, so I bought this tool to help out.
Well works good.

Zoomed out image which also shows the arm holding the upper end of the hot wire. The wire is hard to see though ....

I have a homemade one, granted this is for thinning sheets. It uses a variable bench power supply. need to make the other style next.

The foam is father, the foam is mother...

It's a nice tool. The rip-fence is a bit low/wiggly, some recommend the one from ShiftingLands. As well as some other tools of Mr. Boom.

I kept waiting for this guy to wave his hand through the "beam" as he was explaining how it works! This guy has far too much time on his hands.
