yes . They need a power source. Some brands include this in the base cost. http://www.terragenesis.co.uk/infopages/page182.html I have several hot wire cutters and a hot knife. The ladies craft store brands start at $20. The contractors grade hot knife (jig saw for installing insulation) start at $250 I have one of the foam-factory kits reviewed on the above site I don't like it as much as Gary does. My best cutter is the home made one I have been using for 20 years. I have some 2"X2"X2" blocks I salvaged from a boat dock. The hobby cutter does not have enough amps to handle it. The contractors tools will make short work of it. I am sure you can start with a hobby cutter. I hope this helps. |

it does help, thanks a lot. I found a way to make a hot wire out of standard adapter and a Nickel Chrome wire. pretty easy I guess. if anybody have experience with something like that by any chance please let me know how it worked out. here is the link: http://www.terragenesis.co.uk/infopages/page171.html Thanks! |

thanks for posting and help! nice tool you made, and the hill is very nice source of inspiration (and envy! ) . I hope I could get me a decent hand-made hot wire soon too. I'll keep you posted if I get to build one up sometime. |
