Foam Cutter Kit

I bought this 'DOMINOX Hot Knife Foam Cutter' to make some difficult/curved cuts on 2" thick Styrofoam insulation panels. It worked very well, much better than I expected. READ THE DIRECTIONS before using. I had it on one of the lowest settings to cut through 2" Styrofoam with ease. The knife blade gets up to 1000 degrees, so try it on lower settings on a scrap piece first so you can determine which setting you need. Hotter is not always better because it will melt too much material. Once you practice a bit, you can get nice smooth-edged cuts. Great tool to have.

Really worked great. Used it to remake my attic stairs foam insulation box.

A little learning curve to get the right temperature and cutting speed, but then it works great. Cut 4" upholstery foam with a breeze, avoid the fumes however, they are irritating to the lungs. Six inch rigid wall panels were a bit slower, but cut was easy to control and less irritating fumes. Pay attention to resting the blade and cutting small sections at a time.

Cuts fine, but be sure to go slow. The blades are very thin (by design) so when they're hot they bend VERY easily if you force them. Turn the heat up, go slow, let the weight of the knife do the work, and use a gentle sawing motion for best results. Also, only comes with two blades, not three as shown. Knocking one star for not coming with the third blade.

Bought this and was hesitant. After turning the temperature up and using it. It is very hot and powerful. Cuts through foam board like butter. Makes this task easy and effortless. Keep in mind it melts the foamboard. So use in a ventilated area. Not inside. Definitely worth buying. Very effect cutter.

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!

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 fantastic I strongly recommend practicing with the setting on the foam you want to cut I did find the adjustment being completely unmarked required trial and error

Cuts well but make sure to wear a mask and be outside while cutting foam

Lo que deben de saber es que es una inversión excelente, me a servido muchísimo trabaja de 10 de 10 buen tiempo de reacción las hojas son de muy buena calidad bueno en lo general es un excelente producto!!!

Works very well. Cuts foam very fast. Takes getting used to. If you feed to quickly the thin blade bends and you have a crappy cut. You must gage the heat, feed speed, thickness of material and keep the angle, speed and follow a well defined line. When your cutting properly there is very little resistance and the melted cut width is about 3/16" or like 4mm. Best to put a piece of lumber on top of the Styrofoam to guide your hand or the side of the tool, which gives a very good clean cut. Great quality tool for the price.

When the blade is not in the machine, the red light turns on and it works. When we add the blade in, nothing works. The light doesn't turn red anymore. What should I do? This is an expensive product, I expect it to work.

An inexpensive hot knife that worked well to cut many polystyrene boards to insulate my house.

Me gusto no es tan Facil de usar como yo imaginaba porque requiero de cortes precisos yo lo uso para cortar hieleras de unicel pero cumple su misión
