The Styro Wonder Hot Knife Cutter Plus

by FloraCraft

Product Features

• Electric Styro Knife "Screeeeeek! Screeeeeek! Screeeeeek!" Recognize that? It's the sound of someone sawing a styro-foamal block. It's followed by the sound of a vacuum sucking up hundreds of little foam shards.
• Free yourself from both with this clever electric hot-knife that slides through those chunks of craft foam like a straight razor through a ripe mango. Perfect for carving foam blocks into shapes - or smaller blocks.
• Measures 10" long OA with a 4-3/4" long, needle-like cutting wand, heats up to 410°F (so be careful), and makes screeeek-free and shardless cuts. Has a 7-foot cord, line switch, safety stand, and wall-outlet adapter.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good price but underwhealming performance, May 21, 2009

This is about the cheapest you will find a styrofoam cutter for but the product gives mixed results. I ordered this to replace an old wire foam cutter that broke. This product gives less even cuts, is harder to cut strait with and produces a lot more fumes then the wire cutter. The upside is that this costs about half the price of the wire cutter. Its good if you are on a budget or need it for only one or two projects. My group makes wargame diorama terrain pieces with foam on a regular basis and this product just did not cut it for heavy use or precision.

I use it to cut 1 1/2" styrene in my model railroading. The cutter does a nice job, but if I push it too fast the rod bends. So far I have been able to restraighten it.

If you are working with thin Styrofoam and have lots of time on your hands this product will work. The blade does not heat up well and takes a long time to go through Styrofoam.
