DIY foam cutter

Today I will tell you how the Master made a foam plastic cutter.
it device Suitable for those who decide to insulate the house with polystyrene and there is nothing for him to cut polystyrene or for cutting even beautiful letters for logos.


DIY foam cutter


Step 1: Pen

Master, used the handle of the oven.
You can also use a hanger or a frame from a hacksaw, you can use anything in the shape of Y.





Step 2: Tools and Materials

- Two wires with crocodiles at both ends
- electrical tape
- A pen
- Nichrome wire
- Battery or 12 volt power supply



Step 3: Build

The master isolated the iron places on the handle so that the wire does not touch the frame; make sure everything is isolated; then the master stretched the wire; he was taken very thin so that the battery or power supply warmed it up well.



Step 4: Connect

To the handle, secured all the wires with electrical tape. Further, with wires with crocodiles I connected nichrome wires to both ends.



Foam cutter is ready, wear a mask before work, since the foam vapors are very toxic

No, in the OZK, smoking is not convenient! smile
Full OZK, including shoe covers.))
And who remembers the Soviet fabric black electrical tape?

It is still being applied. Good stuff.
Okay. giggled and good. The author, I hope, understood our hints =)
Even IziaLenta is not kosher. There must be a blue electrical tape! then +1000 to heat resistance.
And who remembers the Soviet fabric black electrical tape? which when dry nifiga does not stick ....
1. I see the insulation of dubious heat resistance (electrical tape).
2. I see an awkward (4 "crocodile") voltage connection to the heating thread, without any temperature adjustment.
3. I see some wires (USB)
4. I read slurred descriptive (to insulate the house? Which? Koshkin?)
5. I am writing and thinking: "Do you have nothing to do at all?"
Better a butterfly, less likely to catch on "crocodiles"! smile
Yeah. general chemical attack.
Should I wear a full suit or just a tie?
for cutting even beautiful letters
It will not work out smoothly and beautifully: there is no tension of nichrome.
The wire was taken very thin so that the battery or power supply warms it well.
Do not write about what you do not understand! By the way, the author wrote everything correctly: "so that you can use the source of 12 V", that is, he takes care of the source correctly so as not to burn it.
wear a mask, as the foam vapors are very toxic
Wild fantasies again! The author has goggles and gloves, and no mask. Harm, and great, will be if the foam burns.
So. Learning to adjust white balance and crop. this should be a picture.

Please do a photo correction.
I can redo everything. This is most elementary done by the PICASA program.
