What is the difference between the Pro and Crafter’s Kits?

The tools in the Crafter’s and Pro kits are the same, including handles and switches. However, some tools require the Pro Power Station to work, such as the shapeable-blade Freehand Router and the Pro 6″ and 8″ knives, which cut 1.5× faster than the Crafter’s Hot Knives.

Crafter’s tools can be powered by either the Crafter or Pro Power Station, but not the other way around.


Do your tools carry a warranty?

Our tools and power supplies come with a 90-day warranty, but we go beyond that. If a defect causes a tool to fail—even a year or two after purchase—we typically repair it free of charge.


What types of foam will your tools cut?

Our tools will cut EPS, XPS, PE, and EVA Foam.


How do I clean my tools?

Most people clean their tools as they are working by just gently wiping them against a cloth or paper towel while the foam is in a melted state. If you feel the need to clean them even further, you can clean them while they are cold with acetone.


As a beginner, which tools should I purchase?

We must first find out what kinds of things you want to create. Any of the craft kits will do if you only plan to construct smaller projects. We can better assist you if you can give us a general concept of what you want to try to make. You can either email us at sales@hwff.com or call 1-866-735-9255 Mon-Fri and a knowledgeable staff member can assist you.


What is the best kit for the money?

The job will actually determine that. Most artists rely on the Pro 4-in-1 Kit, which carries our most popular tools and everything you'll need to get started. With this kit comes tools like the Freehand Router and 6-inch Pro Hot Knife, our two most diverse instruments.


Why are my blades breaking?

"Let the heat do the cutting."
Avoid repeatedly bending the terminals when changing blades—keep bends in the same spot by pushing them into the slots. Tips to prevent blade breakage:

  • Avoid repeatedly bending the terminals when changing blades—keep bends in the same spot by pushing them into the slots.
  • Heat the blade before adjusting the arms. Let the blade relax and release tension before turning off the heat to prevent breakage.


Are the fumes from EPS or XPS foam toxic?

Our Hot Knives are designed for plunge cutting. Look for the Sled Guide in our Accessories area to keep the Hot Knives perpendicular to the foam while cutting.


When will my order ship?

Standard shipping (USPS First-Class, USPS Priority, FedEx Ground) typically takes 1–2 business days to process and leave our warehouse.

Expedited shipping (USPS Express, FedEx Overnight, FedEx 2Day, FedEx Express) ships the next business day.


Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship worldwide! Once you have your items added to your cart, you can view the available methods before checking out.

I bought a full kit of tools and this Table as well.

It is by far the best item I use. It allows for Precise cutting, rotational cutting, has great accessories to help controll all kinds of cuts. Being able to set a precise angle witht he flat of the board and a protractor allows for amazing precise assembly.

The one improvement would be some parallel lines on the table itself for easier alignment. Even a grid imprinted into the table to make sizing simpler. I have scribed my own into the plastic.

Perhaps Feet the could be secured to a work bench too....

This is such an awesome table. The design gives you so many options. I used to avoid working with foam at all costs, now I'm looking for things to make out of foam. I recommend you watch the video to see all the features this has. I just produced 12 monument type sculpts in just a few hours. It was so easy I even got brave and beveled the edges and I've never used hot wire tools before! I also recommend getting the Adjustable Sled Guide to go with it. It will allow you to mount your hot knife so you can cut out sections from the middle of your foam. I couldn't be happier with this product. The customer service is OUTSTANDING too!!!!!

I bought the 24 inch table and two hand tools. I later ordered a 3rd tool. All work well.
The HWFF people were quite helpful when there was an error with the order. They promptly corrected the issue. Sam was on the ball.
I bought the table so I could cut layers of Formular foam together to make layered models for lost wax casting. I have found that if you cut more than 3 layers together that the wire is not stretched taut enough.. the cut becomes less clean and the cut wanders. I am using it to cut denser foam, and probably am impatient with the cut, but the inherent design doesn't allow a great deal of tension to be put on the cutting wire.
Another issue I found is that cutting circles can be difficult.. I want a clean outline, and it is not easy to get a circle where the starting point is not visible. The hot wire has a cylinder of heat around it. The faster you feed foam past the wire, the smaller in diameter the cylinder becomes. So a clean cut requires a steady feed rate. If you make circles, you have to cut in to reach the edge of the circle, then start pivoting the foam to cut the curve. The transition is difficult to do without a bobble or mar in the edge of the circle.
I like the tools in general, and perhaps my goal can be met by improving my cutting technique and building my own jigs.
