Styro cutter - Styrofoam slicing wand - Foam cutter

These things are so neat! There are a number of them on Amazon so I don't want to link to one in particular. A lot of them look exactly like this one too.

[@slammerjaxlive]

Just an fyi, the styrofoam is not absorbing the heat. Its actually sticking to the wand, and preventing air from getting to it, so it cools down. I have one of these, and have done several controlled experiments with it. The longer you cut, the more build up gets on the wand, the slower it cuts. When you remove it from the foam, it burns the residue off, heating up again to operating temperature.

[@SirBaconBurp]

Can you use anything to wipe it off?

[@Ork_Gaming]

@@SirBaconBurp you shouldn’t wipe it off if it’s on, you’ll burn yourself.

[@tritisan]

Thank you for talking us through this instead of just playing dorky music.

[@AutistiVision]

Ha, you're welcome. But then there are plenty of people who say I talk too much. :)

[@ramonjaxson1373]

Pro tip : you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.

[@elijahangelo5256]

@Ramon Jaxson Yup, have been using Flixzone for since november myself :D

[@brandonaugustus8153]

@Ramon Jaxson yea, been using flixzone for months myself :D

[@sinnedo]

Great demo on how good the styrocutter can be. Thanks! I will definitely buy one. =)

[@rebornsmith7542]

Legend has it, that piece is still dangling at the end of the wand, to this day.

[@AutistiVision]

Confirmed. I just checked. Still there...

[@RGun90]

Cut cord - attach 5.5mm barrel jack - attach to variable voltage DC power supply - win :)

[@PA-gt1dd]

it drove me absolutely NITS that you never pulled that stuck piece off...I was like WHY DOESNT HE PULL IT OFF???@?@?@?@?@@!!!

[@AutistiVision]

My apologies

[@passenger3]

Great review. 10/10 👌👍

[@jackbauer2698]

"Styrofoamus Cuttus!" *waves wand*

[@capturedbydaisy5446]

I got the same one and it burned the foam all around, I absolutely hate it.

[@riazhassan6570]

Looks good, better than a hot knife

[@AutistiVision]

Indeed, because it's so thin.

[@OthmanAlikhan]

Thanks for the video =)

[@ArtyMars]

I was also confused about how the really thin soldering iron tip i bought was able to heat and turned out to have the Positive wire inside aswell wrapped in fibreglass insulated cord xD

[@WhatWillHappenIf0]

Cool video and it also able to cut bottle as well. ☺

[@AutistiVision]

I'm wondering if you realize it's me, Mike? And yes, this thing is cool. I just filmed 2 videos with it. You should see one tomorrow on my melting channel.

[@darreg-965]

Hi. I saw your video too late and... trying to disassemble it, I already broke my polystyrene cutter. Can you please tell me how to fix it? The positive wire is still perfectly in its place but the "ground" wire is free in the handle without any connection and I do not know where it is necessary to attach it. Thank you.

[@glengatt3941]

I only need to cut like a 4 inch by 2inch Collums I tried it with a pice of sheet metal but it didn't come right

[@am-hm4oz]

um maybe prepare beforehand or edit out the parts that dont go so well? haha

[@JustSomeDog]

Can you bend the wire thing? Like it doesn't have something bittle inside to keep it red hot

[@AutistiVision]

Hmmm, interesting idea. I think it would bend. Carefully the way you would bend pipe without kinking. I would have to find a spring that is close to the diameter of the tube to slide over it while bending.

[@richardhathaway2901]

I have one of these. I find it is JUST able to cut through a 50mm slab of foam if you apply a little constant pressure and a lot of patience. My feeling is that the power supply that came with the tool (Rated at 6V 2.5A) is barely adequate. The 2.5A is a joke. I'm sure a tiny bit more power would fix the problem. Maybe a power supply that actually delivers what it is rated at?

[@AutistiVision]

I agree.

[@gregsanchez3553]

Hi Sir’s may i know what is the power supply needed input / output ex. Input220vac output12vdc? TIA

[@wandameadows5736]

That was like watching a cat trying to get tape off there fur. You realize the foam want hurt if you grad it.

[@Dumfries474]

I think you should make this vid again

[@AutistiVision]

Well sure. Is there something I should do differently?

[@JuliaTheSun]

hey! Bought one of these and amazon did not put a cord into the package. what measurement cord do i need?

[@coldrider3517]

i realise this is an old video , i am wondering if i could bend the element into an arc ? would it work ? looking to buy two and modd them to my needs , thanks for the knowledge

[@AutistiVision]

Oh, look it up on Amazon. It comes with 3 tips now and one of them is a broad wire. Otherwise, yes, with a small tube bender (which is a spring) you could bend this into an arc and it would still work.

[@jimmytiler5522]

yes the music i hate but your idea i dont think is good.i use a 1/8 brass rod heat it cut simple easy peasy.

[@jesusblessings2565]

Can I cut furniture foam with this pen

[@cathyc6442]

I have one of these wands and I love it, but it's quit working. Because I'm recklessly fearless, I took it apart and found that one of the wires had come apart. Almost looks like it got too hot. My problem now is I don't know where to reconnect the wire. The one still connected goes into the gold receptacle and there's a hole in the side of that. Does the wire go into the same hole with the attached wire, or does it go into the hole? Do I need to take that gold piece apart to repair it? I'm afraid to do anything else with it, although it couldn't hurt anything because it doesn't work anyway. Can you help me out with this? Thanks so much.

[@slammerjaxlive]

They're inexpensive, I'd chuck it and buy a new one if you aren't sure how to repair it.

[@sages101]

Just grab the damn Styrofoam 😡

looks like it Dude

[@neylabintnagim9104]

If he was holding the foam he could just put it down to take it

[@GAROmx]

Do you know if it cuts foam? Like the one inside the Pelican cases ...?

[@AutistiVision]

It will cut anything that melts.

[@MrTomb789]

is it okay for sponge or foam...?

[@AutistiVision]

No, I don't think so.

[@tocstudios3801]

I bought one and it barely heats up but it wont cut off all....why???

[@AutistiVision]

It may be defective. But also try unplugging it and waiting. It has a work cycle that it won't let you go past. I've had mine shut off, thinking it was on too long. But playing around with the plug and the plug to the cutter, and it always comes back on. Wait a good 30 seconds with it unplugged.

[@user-xw3ek3vn4q]

Can it cut fabrics like satin or tulle?

[@AutistiVision]

I've never tried it.

[@luizgonzaga2816]

Hi friend, nice video, a question, what power supply do I use, thanks

[@AutistiVision]

The power supply comes with it.

[@IBenkartCreations]

Cool

[@TheBigBowks]

nope... hot

[@Martin-ll7jc]

I bought 1 mine seems to get through it faster than yours maybe yours is lower heat

[@AutistiVision]

lol, well, as you saw, I took mine apart. It didn't go back together ideally. My wire contact is a bit compromised, thus yea, a little less current I'm sure. The good thing is that they're inexpensive. I may get another one just to see how much faster they are when I don't mess with them. :)

[@arneliobulanadi5032]

How much?

[@fredericveyrier5022]

What is the voltage?

[@lemoneater6690]

is this safe to use

@@AutistiVision like is there a chance it might blow up or electricute me

[@AutistiVision]

@@lemoneater6690 Ha, no. It's safe except for the heat.

[@THOMASTHESAILOR]

Nice demo, but, Questions still arise.. Did the smoke stink up the House ? Was the melted foam and plastic hard to clean off, afterwards ? How much did it cost ? Would you recommend it to your best Friend or Pastor ?

[@AutistiVision]

lol, entertaining comment. :) Ok, yes, the smoke stinks up the house. And gosh, is it toxic? I don't know? But it smells toxic. Funny to see all this scrapbooking moms casually using these but wow, the fumes are bad. The melted foam does build up on the wand but can be periodically wiped off with a paper towel or rag. You just gotta do it quick to keep the rag from melting. I think it was about $20. My best friend is not one to worry about things like fumes and he would do far worse on his own so, yes, I'd recommend it to him. My pastor? Well, sure. He might cut a bunch of circles in a sheet of styrofoam and make it "holy." ... ... ... I'm sorry...

[@THOMASTHESAILOR]

Thank You, LOL, the "Pastor" part, was just to get your attention. LOL..

[@ZeroDuckThirty]

ThomasTheSailor Chubby cleaning-wise, I'd just heat it up and wipe the molten foam with a folded up napkin/paper towel. Easier than if you tried to scrape it of while its dry

[@clarencegreen3071]

@@AutistiVision I appreciate your honest response! I think I can live without this tool. Thanks for the video.

what about foam core board?

I use mine on foam core board, and pink panther insulation, a little slower, but works.

[@martinpb1963]

Will it cut gun case foam

[@AutistiVision]

That is a very good question. I don't know. I really should try that and film it. Thanks.

[@slammerjaxlive]

It will melt it.

[@fernandesvincen9586]

I want to buy one urgent

[@jeromejt62]

For precision I would not use this, or probably any cut for that matter way too sloppy. It's too hot and deforms the entire work surface as it melts away material from both sides. If there was a way to regulate the heat maybe it might be worth the $9.00. Other than that thanks or the post, now I know what not to buy.

[@AutistiVision]

You're welcome. Yes, it's not a super precision cut, but it's fine for most people. A great way to get things to the basic shape you want quickly.
