I need a hot wire foam cutter!

[admoo]

Does anywhere on the high street sell them? I need one to cut some polystyrene boards. Doesn't need to be extravagant, just needs to be able to cut about 3 inches of the stuff. I need it by Monday (good planning on my behalf, I know) so that kind of rules out any online retailer.

I would make one but I'm sure uni would have a heath and safety overload if they saw me with a glowing hot wire held together with crocodile clips

Thanks

Thanks for the tips guys. According to their websites, neither B&Q or Hobbycraft sell them, but I might phone them up in the morning, see if they do.

If the worst happens I could make one, or just use a hacksaw () or something

I have seen very simple free plans to make them on rcgroups.com have a search on there (probably in the scratchbuilt foamies area) - I would look for you but it is bath time for the nippers

Cheers mate, I'll have a look
