Teacher at son's school made a computer control foam cutter. It was quite large and cut just about any shape but it was slow. It cut on three axis, cheers Graham.
Thanks for the information, mate. Many years ago, I worked at a company that manufactured polystyrene insulation. They cut it using mig welding wire and a 220v arc welder for the power supply. They started making a 3x3x4 metre piece, and cut it down to the sizes that a customer might require. They utilized recycled foam, so it could have mostly white with pink, blue or perhaps other colors in the final product, which was usually cut to fit between framing studs on a construction site house or some other structures.
Yes, in fact that is why I built it. Recently I bought a new tool chest, and I would like to make several drawer inserts. I had planned on using those inexpensive anti fatigue foam mats you can find in the hardware store. However, I've found the foam mats are quite slow to cut due to the type of foam they are made of. So I'll have to find another type of foam.
@@Schematix and then you inspired me. Because I bought Stanley 7 drawer box with all the fancy gedore blue, wera, Knipex, Facom, DeWALT, Milwaukee, Dremel, Makita, etc. All fancy tools. I spend 4k... Man, It's an investment! And yet you going darn... How to make this look professional? Well I liked EVA foam and your video made me smile. That all the years I saved for these tools, bought them and then they would be looking badly flying around freely...oh no! You and your amazing video got my back. It's easy to follow it. It's easy to make it. Love it man!
I was tempted to build something similar a while back, but I cut foam so rarely I just ended up taking the nichrome and holding it between 2 pliers hooked to a 50C 2.2AH lifepo4 cell. Just needed a few somewhat straight cuts so was good enough.
Looks better than store bought; however, I would recommend buying those crimp on ferrule connectors for the stranded wire that went into the pwm controller.
The PWM controller most likely works by switching the ground connection, connecting the chassis ground and power supply ground together would completely bypass the PWM controller

That is a very professional looking unit you made there. Good job mate. Thanks for the video and info.
Suggestion: Make a much larger hole for nichrome wire, and add an appropriate grommet.
This is a great tool for making foam insert organizers for toolboxes.

Best jlcpcb sponser ad ever
Great video, man.
Appreciate your work and content.👍
that is some meditation material right there
Nice project

Great to see another video, nice project.
I usually skip the adds in videos but yours are pretty funny. Nice video. And, who the hell down votes videos like this?
Would save a lot of mess and sanding when making styrene Bobby floats for fishing !
Ripper video mate !
Simply outstanding!👍👍👍
Bahaha....that caveman skit was hilarious!
Thanks. Good one. Graham, Bundaberg, Queensland.
Nice job mate.
That was quick! Barely just published the video 🤣👍
thanks bro.
Nice job
Thanks
Great Job
very nice Cheers mate
Great video
Dude, at 1:44 is an awesome scene. You don't find such good scene in Sharknado movies.
Great Idea well implemented
Why did you need to isolate the PS ground from the PWM ground?
The PWM controller most likely works by switching the ground connection, connecting the chassis ground and power supply ground together would completely bypass the PWM controller
@@goz3rr Thanks
Would this work for cutting a memory foam mattress?
What size and qty of screws did you used?
I wonder how that caveman get those metal film resistors.. 🤣
Your PCB ad is gold 😂 but this neanderthal can't design PCBs yet..

Would you be able to make me one lol I am not mechanical at all
