YaeTek Hot Wire Foam Cutter Tabletop Styrofoam Cutting Machine Thermocut

First off, know that I am not a hobbyist using this for intricate models. I volunteer to 3-D print assistive technology devices and use it only for cutting out foam inserts for shipping these devices. For that, it works perfectly. The fence positions quickly for cuts as precise as I need them. My only complaint is that the wire spool was mounted on the overhead arm and it's so small that I didn't see it right away and it was not mentioned on the parts list causing me to initially think that it wasn't included. I eventually noticed it and all was right with the world. This went together quickly and I could have been up and running in 5 minutes if I hadn't wasted time looking in the discarded packing material for the spool of wire. Considering the low price for this entry-level cutter, it's a great value.

Very well made, good quality, easy to use. tested with 1/2" thick rigid Styrofoam and 1" thick rigid XPS. Very clean-cut good temperature control. Good assembly instructions.

This thing is great. I just wish they had included measurements on the sides in smaller increments. I think they're measured in whole centimeters, and it would have been way more helpful to be broken into millimeters. For precise work, you're going to have to go to some extra effort as a result. I also found it's helpful to keep a speed square on hand to adjust the wire for straight 90 degree cuts. Still, this is $60 cheaper than the Proxxon, and it works fine.

Amazing for the money. It is a bit much to keep things accurate with a 4'x8' sheet and I clamped a 4' straight edge to lengthen the fence. Have a little patience pushing through. Would be nice to have an extra spool of hot wire.

Una herramienta que me gusta mucho porque se trabaja con varios tipos de materiales

The cutting job is good for foams but the wires broke so easily and I tried to reach out to the seller to see if they could sell me extra wires to complete my cutting job but their answer is negative.

easy to use, cuts easily as well. however, its not very durable. the wire it came with would snap every 3-4 cuts of standard XPS. however, the wire is fairly long, and i cut dozens of 2x2x1" cubes without much fuss/problem.

I like it. Not bad at all for the price

Me gusto el materia en el que viene es muy ligero y fácil de utilizar y armar
