  • Foam Cutters

    Does anyone know of a good foam cutter for cutting foam for scenes? I would like something heavy-duty for cutting stones and boulders and such.


    Thanks
    -Grant

      Grant,

      We also use Hot Wire foam factory tools. They work great for EPS and pink foam board.

            Dremels, drills and all the cute little bits and wheels you can find...
            And don't forget the heat gun.

                What is the heat gun used for?

                  It has several different uses. I used it mostly to help smooth out the texture where needed, or, create a texture that I couldnt get otherwise. You just need to experiment with it on different types of foam. When we get the time, I hope to release a DVD.

                        OMG Spookywoods! Congratulations, That is really impressive!! Glad to see your guy is using a respirator. That suff is really messy when you use a grinder. Any reason you do mot use a hot wire foam carver?

                          That's me in the picture. There is no way I would do it without a respirator. Even with one on I would still choke up a few beads here and there. Ear plugs, goggles and a respirator are a must. An air hose is nice to have around as well.
                          I do actually use the HotWire brand tools but I don't like being tied down to just a certain set of tools.

                          And Barry, thanks. I just make it up as I go

                            Well I think we all agree that the hotwire would be alot more useful if it didnt cool down so fast when it hits the foam...makes for a really slow process.
