Description

polystyrene polystyreene pte www.ihatestyrofoam.com
This economical bow type styrofoam cutter will save you money, save the environment by recycling what is often thrown away.
The jig pictured is not included, see my other items,  Bow with power supply only, yes there is a hot wire from the tip to the handle, hard to see in the picture.
This item is designed to cut styrofoam (polystyrene) for wall insulation or packing material.
IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO CUT HIGH DENSITY FOAM LIKE DOCK FLOATS, BUMPER ABSORBERS, ETC. IT WILL CUT VERY SLOWLY. IF TOO DENSE IT WILL NOT CUT AT ALL. Products such as foam cups, coolers, food containers are plastic coated and will not cut. THIS IS NOT A REASON TO RETURN IT. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, SEND A SAMPLE OF WHAT YOU WANT TO CUT.
YOUR PACKING MATERIAL IS CUT USING YOUR ITEM, TESTED, WORKS. IF IT DOES NOT CUT YOUR STYROFOAM, YOU ARE NOT CUTTING STYROFOAM.
So you paid for that digital shipping scale to weigh your USPS bound parcels, this is your next business investment.
Do you hate Styrofoam? Does that squeak it makes when you cut it make you cringe? Do those little white balls of debris drive you crazy? Just can't see throwing that white stuff into the trash. The recycle center does not accept it. Make use of what is often thrown away by being able to cut it fast, clean and to the custom size
you need.
Hot wire cutters leave little or no mess. Make accurate, fast, straight cuts in seconds. Make box liners for shipping. Make your own craft and hobby supplies, model railroad inclines, cake fakes. Harvest blocks like the one in the picture, then resell the sheets here on ebay.
Make filler pieces to ship items, cut down old molded protectors without mess. Styrofoam is light weight and strong, unlike kraft paper or newspaper. Cut clean, straight through, up to 5 inch thick blocks. Turn what you would throw away into custom packing material. Make your own ghost poop.
Harvest blocks and sheets into usable box liners, stiffeners for photos. Styrofoam keeps items rigid for shipping inside bubble envelopes and can increase the thickness to qualify for 1st class mail delivery confirmation with the postal service (3/4") without adding significant weight.
This cutter is designed to handle wall insulation sheets that are 47 3/4 wide (prepackaged from Lowes and Home Depot, home improvement stores) . Bow (51")can be used free-hand to cut large or odd sizes down so you can fit them on the jig for accurate cutting. Bow has a design feature that keeps the hot wire taught when it expands as it heats up. A slack wire will not make a straight or clean cut.
This Bow sized 48" cost more and more to ship than my other item the 13" table top model and bow/jig in my other listing
.
For those of you in the construction industry, yes, it cuts blue and pink foamboard. You may need the 48" lay flat cutter to handle up to the 96" long foam sheets to cut across them, see 2nd picture.
It will not cut foil faced foam, danger, damage to tool WILL OCCUR
This listing is for a hot wire cutting bow setup.  Hotwire Bow, Low Voltage output plug-in 3 prong grounded 120 volt Transformer standard 3 prong usa plug, Instructions. You will have to make your own jig. It does not include a switch to turn it on and off ( you can buy one of those that plugs into the wall and plug the transformer into it or a power strip with a switch) Bow feeds by gravity to make a nice smooth square clean cut. Yes there is a wire in the picture from the end peg to the handle, hard to see in the digital picture. Wire does not wear out with use as it melts through the foam, it does not
cut
it.
