Industrial Hot Knife Kit

Don't blame us, you asked for it!

Save $169.90 Off Individual Pricing! This tool is for doing fast and serious damage to your big foam projects, and to you if not used properly. The perfect partner in crime for your 4-Foot Compound Bow Cutter. We have 220 Volt models for use in other countries available at no extra charge.

Unlike other lower-quality models (with the same price tag) our rugged Industrial Hot Knife can be used continuously for periods of up to 45 minutes, and much longer if turned off between cuts. It is lightweight, solid state (the power supply is right in the handle), has replaceable blades, variable heat settings, and a 10 foot power cord. Used by professionals for everything from art installations to cutting and grooving SIP and ICF construction panels.

You'll notice the Industrial Hot Knife in the video below has an orange handle - we are always working to improve our products, and Terra was using one of our early prototypes.


 

Can I use your tools to trim polyurethane insulation spray foam?
We have many contractors using our Bow Cutters to cut PU spray foam, but, this foam gives off toxic fumes when cut with a hot wire so an appropriate respirator and plenty of ventilation are necessary.

Chris Drew/Dorman High School, 03-14-2017

The Industrial Hot Knife certainly beats cutting with a razor knife. The razor is a thing of the past. After doing several test cuts in scrap material to get the temperature right it was as simple as holding the trigger, just like drawing with a marker. Forming the shapeable blades to use with the sled guide was slightly more challenging and had a longer learning curve but still made cutting grooves easy. The only problem encountered was a screw head on the hot knife that wouldn't allow the allen wrench to fit. I just used an old wrench I had since it was worn and tightened the screw. This is definitely a quality tool and I highly recommend it.

LOVE this product, it has been used for several foam projects. Have built a small castle entrance with this as well as unicorn horns for a real horse etc. Still have not discovered all this tool will do but it is very versatile.


Nathan Parmenter, 12-22-2017

I love my Hot Wire Foam Factory hot knife. I specialize in packing and shipping antiques and artworks, so I cut foam all day long. I have used my HWFF hot knife for 3 years with no issues. It is a true heavy duty tool. The cord is long and switching blades is a breeze. I could not be more satisfied.

I finally got my Hot Knife out to use it. What a dream! It will make all my future projects so much easier. I have been buying products from this company for over 20 years and I love the customer service and their products.


Cory Hunt, Magic Wheelchair Builder Commercial/Home Haunter, 08-08-2018

The Industrial Hot Knife kit has been one of the most useful tools I have used in carving foam. I have used it to cut down major pieces, trim small ones, and create channels in foam that I use for strong and detachable mounts for tombstones and even wings on a TIE Advanced costume for Magic Wheelchair.

It is a seriously powerful tool with a whole lot of applications. The variety of blades, the ability to customize a cut, and the temperature control make this a versatile tool that saves me time as well as effort. My projects would take easily a third to twice as long without it.


Nikki Gridley, 08-24-2018

I love this kit and I love all the tools I have purchased from HWFF!


Lance J Layman, 08-30-2018

There is a reason they are the industry standard.


Helene Zaikoff, 12-06-2018

Amazing tool. Time saver. Was worth calling you for advice on the best tool for my needs. Truly amazing product. Thank you!


Peter Sorensen, 03-21-2019

We have two of these kits to handle the work load. Hot Wire Foam Factory sells quality equipment and we consider these the industry standard. This kit handles every aspect of our cutting/sculpting needs. Plus, if you ever need to contact HWFF, they are extremely helpful and very knowledgeable.


John M. Koebl, 04-20-2019

I cut 2" Styrofoam sheets into piece for packing. It cuts faster than the time it takes to draw the lines. The absolute best part is no more Styrofoam snow all over the house and my clothes. Also hot cut edges stiffens the pieces.
