Will your products do a good job cutting the blue extruded polystyrene insulation from Dow Chemical? This is the stuff sold in 4 ft x 8 ft x 2 in sheets at Lowe's Hardware. I want a good cutter for making scenery for a model railroad. Thanks, Allen H. Jacksonville OR
Yes, the tools in our Crafters 4-in-1 Kit will cut Dow Blueboard and Owens Corning Pinkboard foam. These are dense foams so the cut will take twice as long as the white beaded EPS foam, but the cuts are clean and precise. Make sure you choose the 3-Inch Hot Knife as it cuts 50% faster than the 4-Inch.
Check out our Hot Wire Foam Factory Model Railroading Gallery sometime and you will see incredible scenery carved with our tools. Most of the scenery is made with DOW Blueboard or Owens-Corning's Pinkboard. Some of the larger layouts are made out of the less expensive and fast to cut EPS foam, then hard coated with our All Purpose Foam Coat.

Victoria,
Once again, i appreciate your help and expertise. Can’t wait to begin using the HWFF tools. Having only16 days to create a Frog Chair (ArtPrize 2016), your Pro Tool Kit and Bow Cutter will make the 3# EPS both fast and fun to carve. You must be part angel!
You and Hot Wire Foam Factory have been real life savers! I sing your praise!
Much appreciation!

I use this kit to make all my Dept. 56 holiday displays. I use it on foam insulation boards to make the villages, including streets, mountains, ponds or anything else to make my display look real. My Halloween display draws over 100 people to my house and when I tell them that half the display is carved out of foam they are amazed and always have to feel it. These tools are a must and so easy to use.

This kit made my life so easy for my class project of carving tombstones. The students use handcarving tools because of the toxic hazard and I use the hot tools outside to help cut out the shapes. the small writing tool I have had problems with as it does not want to heat up and I have had it repaired once and it still doesnt work and I really liked that tool when it sorks it is great for lettering. I probably need to send it in again for rapairs. Not sure why it has so many problems.

Ordered the Pro Model 4-in-1 Kit and I could not be more pleased with every tool in the case. I use the tools to create signs for a festival, and with these tools I can be as creative as I want to! The freehand router is my go-to tool, and the engraver tool with its small chisel tip is excellent at creating small details like wood grain.
Overall a great purchase and a set of tools that will serve for many years to come.
Steve Tai, 05-05-2017
Great kit, does everything I expected it to do. The foam cutting and shaping is so easy with these tools.
Angelique Hamilton, 12-10-2017
I love my new foam cutter! I made a winter wonderland for my Christmas decorations outside and won first place in my neighbourhood! The tools made it so easy and so quick to create all the mountains and glaciers. I can’t say enough about the customer service that they provided when I called. I am new to creating foam art and had many questions on how to use the product and what to do. They were ever so helpful. I wish more companies had customer service like this company has!
Dee Rock, 12-12-2017
First of all, the Hot Wire website is terrific for helping a "first-timer" learn how to use the tools. Then everything in the tool kit was as expected. What a great way to landscape a Christmas village.
Amy Hostetler, 02-11-2018
The tools worked well, but it was hard to have to change power units depending upon what tool we wanted to use.
Jessica Thorne, 06-19-2018
Finally got to use this set for a foam cosplay hat that looks like an upside down teapot. I had previously made a hat like it without these tools and it took half the time with these new tools. The difference is night and day and if you are on the fence about weather or not you can live without hot foam tools (or live with cheap ones) - YOU CAN'T! I had a cheap knife from a craft store (about $12) and it's utter crap compared to these. I was able to use all four of the tools I chose (glad I opted for the 6 inch knife due to the size of my project) and I can confirm they are all incredibly wonderful and perfect tools. I feel like I already got my money's worth due to all the compliments I received at the convention. Thank you guys for all the info included in the kit and clear-to-follow instructions! I will be back for more and will be gifting a set to my father for Christmas. It will help him with his model railroad needs for sure!

Much better constructed than other hot wire tools on the market... well worth the investment.
Kathy Freeman, 07-31-2018
I’ve been making holiday foam displays for years but I used an electric knife or broke the Styrofoam by hand....pretty messy. Then I saw Mike Landry’s site on Etsy, and he recommended Hot Wire Foam Factory for tools to work with foam.....I haven’t used them yet but I know they will make a much more “clean” and sculpted display!
Martin Moureau, Sweden, 08-09-2018
I just received my order today. Great products, great build quality and great professional service. Unlike other tools I have tried, your tools feel sturdy and work great! Thank you so much.
Steve Berger, 08-10-2018
WOW! What a great set of tools. So far, I've used 3 of the 4 foam cutters, and they've worked perfectly... a great addition to my scenery tool box.
Jeff Whiteside, 09-09-2018
Got it for Halloween, and I have to get used to it, but I would recommend this kit for a beginner such as myself. Works great, easy to use, I like it.
John Steel, 09-22-2018
Awesome set of hot wire tools. This has really helped us with sculpting out our Halloween Village scenes!
Jon Crego, 09-27-2018
I am a first time user of this product. I like to DIY my Halloween foam decorations. After seeing many Halloween builders use it, I had to give it try. WOW! I love this product. It is a time saver and at times, so much easier to use then a cutting blade. I still have a few more items to order, but the kit I have for now fits my needs.
Next up, Christmas decorations! Thanks HWFF!
Carmen Ramos, 10-10-2018
I've become quite crafty with these tools. My foam molding skills have improved dramatically. Thank You! My Christmas Village looks spectacular this year.

Love these tools!
It's worth noting that with the least expensive power source, there is a significant decrease in cutting speed when it's cold out or too much wind is blowing, which is a little crummy, but I've got a beefier power source on the way.
This stuff cuts through XPS and EPS like butter though, and I've been able to just keep a neat little pile of shavings to toss rather than the disaster that comes from cutting or rasping EPS.
The fumes from foam cutting are a bit of a hot topic-- I always cut on a loading dock with an industrial fan blowing the fumes away from me but sometimes I'll still get a headache. If you're worried about it, wear a respirator or at least a good filtering mask.
The long hot knifes cut pretty slowly, I would splurge for the industrial knife if you have a lot of cuts to get through, or do what I did and saw off extras, and use the sculping tool to even things out.
Happy Cutting!
