The Ultimate Hot Wire foam cutter! Part 1

I’ve created about 6 different hot wire foam cutters over the years. My first one was a simple V and then I got progressively more versatile from there. This past month I took on the project of putting blue-board up in my basement for insulation on the walls. It’s an interesting project that required me to make a much better and more precise hot wire foam cutter. I started with a simple H foam cutter that I saw here on youtube. Once I find the link for it I will give that guy a link here in the description. I then progressed to a longer length cutter that could use a rail for very precise long straight cuts.
