Heating Wire Foam Cutter Hand Tool 190×90mm Blue

Precise Hot Wire Foam Cutter for Clean Polystyrene Cuts

Achieve accurate, controlled cuts in polystyrene and similar foam materials with this handheld heating wire foam cutter. Designed for detailed shaping, trimming and model work, it delivers smooth, clean cut lines without tearing, crumbling or excessive debris. Its compact 190 × 90 mm body and balanced grip make it suitable for both quick adjustments and longer, more focused cutting sessions.

Constructed from durable plastic in a blue finish, this cutter uses a fine stainless steel electric wire (approx. 0.19 mm diameter) as the cutting element. Once powered, the wire heats to over 100°C, allowing it to glide through foam with minimal resistance. You can start cutting from any point on the foam sheet, working flat, vertically, or at an angle. Straight lines, arcs and complex curves are all manageable, and the resulting cut surfaces remain smooth and neat. The tool is powered by 2 × C‑size batteries (not included), which keeps it cable‑free and easy to position around your work area. It is light in weight, simple to operate and convenient to carry between workstations or job sites. Suitable applications include model making, architectural mock‑ups, signage, craft projects and general foam shaping where controlled, clean cuts are required. For best results, use only on polystyrene and compatible foam materials and follow basic safety practices when working with heated tools.
