The Most Appropriate Ways To Use A Foam Saw

By Walter Thomas


Individual projects such as arts and crafts and business activities in the construction sector put into use a lightweight kind of material known as polystyrene foam. In order to be used the polystyrene material or any other similar one needs to be framed to the wanted sizes and shapes using tools known as hot wire foam saw. The saw is formed using a slim wire which is guided through a material to cut it.

The cutter is termed as hotwire since it gets hot through a two hundred degree electrical resistance. There are two types of wires that can be used, the first one being the preformed one created manually or through use of pliers. The second type is the tensioned one that is attached to a bow or a frame.

The materials commonly used by the cutter are the ones that easily melt as soon as they get in contact with low temperature making them efficient. Some of the materials include the expanded polystyrene materials white in color, the extruded polystyrene present in several colors and the polyethylene foams that are tear resistant. Furthermore, the materials that prevent fires in the fuel tanks and the ones that prevent shock are the right ones too.

An operator can manually use the preformed wire to create different sizes and shapes from the blocks of materials present. However, the tensioned wire can be used in five different ways with the manual use being the most basic one. The second method that the tensioned wire is used is by the addition of a horizontal table to place the good. This second technique is commonly used in the building and packaging sector.

In addition, the cutter can be used with a table that is guided with a template. This method is often appropriate in achieving accuracy in creation of models. The level of accuracy depends on the skills of individual working on the material. The level of precision placed on the templates also determines the accuracy of the results produced through guiding the wire to cut the material.

The fourth way through which the hot wire can be put into use is through the computer numerically controlled stages. The wires are guided to cut through the material by use of computer systems that are located on both sides of the material. The application of lathe attachments in the computer numerically controlled systems give the chance for creation of spiral shapes.

The final method known as the push through slicer is another way that the tensioned wire can be used in the design of foam. The tensioned wires are placed in parallel manner on the vertical or horizontal frame to enable cutting. Once a block of material of passed through the wires, several sheets of that material are produced.

The saw needs to get maintained at an appropriate temperature along with the appropriate limits of lengths of the wires that are positioned on the bars. Proper upholding of these requirements allow the production of right sizes and shapes in all areas. These areas range from the aircraft designs, the architectural industry and the construction of surfboards.
