How To Build Your Own Hot Wire Foam Cutter

[@0x73V14]

If you cut a notch in the base instead of in the arm the joint will be stronger and more rigid since it connects on 3 faces instead of one Also a small groove along the back/top corner of the arm will let you skip the zip ties If you put a small light bulb (use the correct voltage for your supply) in line with the power on top of the arm, it gives you a nice warning indicator that the wire is on/hot Lastly, check the maximum amps of your power supply and install a fuse holder and a glass tube fuse so that if something goes wrong you won't burn out your power supply

[@robertravena]

The only thing I'd add would be a fence so you can make really straight cuts for walls and such,, if you made it adjustable you could cut angles as well.

[@allangee]

The "twang" at the end of the cut means the wire was bent under tension -- which an lead to crooked or wavy cuts. Need to increase the temp or decrease the speed you're pushing it through.

I'd be interested in the prices of the components used.

[@brogerspers]

The adapter is about $20 on Amazon. A guitar string (e string would work) is about $5. The plug is less than $10. The wood is a 2x4 sheet of 3/4 inch plywood I'm guessing. That would run me around $10. The big thing would be the taps for threading the bolt and wood. I can get those for $5 apiece BUT I'd almost never use it again. Honestly I might build the upper bolt mount differently so I don't need the taps. Other than that it's a little heat shrink, wire, and a connecter to mount the nichrome or e-string together.

Well, what do you know. Another Silent "DIY" KZbin instruction Video without some of the ncessary needed step-by-step verbal instructions or a listing of parts needed to complete the projuect. Reminds a person of the old early 1900's Silent Movies before they invented sound equipment. Can you imagine going to a College, University, or Vocational Technical School with nothing more than a Silent Instructor to teach a class of students when he or she either can't, or won't use his or her voice to teach students how to do something, plus on top of that skips teaching students certain details of the project, or fails to provide either the materials or at least a list of materials needed for the project. Under those conditions how long will that instructor last before he or she is fired, or how many students will that school get to sign up for future classes? Oh well, so much for Silent Movies, with Silent Instructors who have no voice, skips some assembly steps, and provides no parts lists. Under those conditions, Unfortunately I have seen too many of these types of Silent DIY instruction video's posted upon KZbin. So, with that in mind, I have to give both this DIY instruction video, and the instructor a thumbs down until he improves his instruction technique. Oh, by the way, I have read most of the viewer comments, and during my viewing process, I also noticed that just like a few other DIY instruction video poster's, this instructor only answers (Replies to), those commenters of whom praise's his DIY video, but seems to ignore those of who don't, or just ask questions.
