DOMINOXHot Knife Foam Cutter, Foam Cutting Tool Kit, Heavy-duty Case Styrofoam Cutter for Cutting Foam Board Insulation, EPP, EPS, XPS, EVA, EPE, PU, KT Board, Sponge, Nylon

I bought this to use to carve styrofoam blocks and it works like a charm. I didn't want to spend the $$ on a hot wire thingy and I wanted something that had a little more precision to it if needed. It takes a bit of skill (eg, patience and practice) to work it so you don't carve too deep or too far so I had some "oops" that I had to fill with gap foam but whatever, I'm not picky - I do this for fun, not a living.Pro's - heats up quickly, easy to use (wipe off frequently) and swap blades, easy to clean.Con's - hard to find the right temp so that the foam doesn't shrink and/or crystallize into a hard surface (which is hard to sand).CAUTION: wear a mask when using this to carve foam!!!!! The process gives off a dangerous gas and can produce noxious smoke. You should probably wear gloves too but I didn't and I've never yet burned myself, which is a shocker cuz I'm accident prone.Oh, I also used this to carve foam for tombstones and faux boards. Not effective for detail work IMO - I use a solder iron instead there, but it gets the heavy work done and is significantly easier than using a knife.

I make stray kitty condos in the winter for the neighbors and this makes it so fast & easy! Can't wait to try it for other things later!

Works great

I love it. Make my work easier.

Initially I didn’t adjust at all and it required extreme patience then I started increasing power and found the sweet spot for the foam I’m cutting. The safety shut off is a little annoying but if you unplug it immediately resets. Cutting lots of 4 inch curved foam for a round fiberglass RV and this is fantasticI strongly recommend practicing with the setting on the foam you want to cutI did find the adjustment being completely unmarked required trial and error

Used this Foam Cutter once and it RUINED 01 of my Foam Brick Panels ($28 Each).This does NOT cut on all the surfaces it claims with ease. The blades are Way Too Thin resulting in a vary inconsistent cut AND bend out of shape immediately during use. They need to be at least twice as thick..I now have to replace the panel that was ruined.The instructions state for proper use, it should not smoke when cutting however to for it to actually cut,the heat needs to be high enough which causes smoking. It also MELTS the product regardless of temp and looks like crap!I applaud Amazons return policy as i can at least purchase something to finish the job that this product couldn't (ie. Dremel)... I would NEVER recommend or purchase again!

Delivery was very quick. I used the tool immediately to install foam insulation panels on my garage door. Unit worked very well. Happy with my purchase.

It works well for a hot knife but the title is misleading. I tried to use it on 48mm high density EVA foam and it definitely does not work. Maybe a thinner material but not anything thicker than maybe 10mm at MAX. I was trying to save my wrists and hands from cutting through such thick foam but all it did was melt and even with good ventilation this is a little too dangerous to use on that type of foam. It took a good 30 sec of consistent pressure and heat to get it to go ~3 inches down while trying to cut a piece in half.
