What it does
Model makers and sign shops use this one. The foam moves across a 15 by 11 inch table and through a hot wire. An aluminium fence on bearings guides straight cuts, and the arm tilts for bevels.
The wire heats in about a second, to 720°F. A spare roll of wire sits on the holder.
It is a step in one of our job rows: Cut and shape foam.
Good to know before you buy
- For light foam: EPS, XPS, EVA, KT board. Not for high-density or memory foam.
- The table is small. Long sheets need support at both ends.
- Push slowly. A rushed cut bows the wire.

Works great, great little machine.
I read some reviews that said it wobbled too much, that's user error. You need to tighten the wire before the first use, you should be able to play a note on it. Pluck the wire like a guitar string and listen for a nice ring.The right edge of the foam was cut on a table saw and the left was cut by the hot wire.

Perfect !
Great value. It is very easy to set up. You can cut different shapes and sizes. Cuts are sharp and smooth I do a lot of DYI project and have tried many other cutters and this is by far the very best and affordable price

Decent tool
The DOMINOX Electric Hot Wire Foam Cutter works, but it definitely has room for improvement. I wish the wire structure was sturdier — it moves a little too easily, which makes it hard to get precise cuts.
