EPS Foam BIllet

To carve and cut EPS foam billet, there are several methods and tools you can use. Here are a few options to consider:

Hot Knife: One common tool used for cutting and carving EPS foam is a hot knife. This tool has a heated blade that melts the foam as it cuts, resulting in clean and precise cuts. There are battery-operated models available with blades up to 10 inches long.

Bow Cutter: Another tool commonly used for cutting and shaping EPS foam is a bow cutter. This tool has a wire that runs between the tips of a bow-shaped frame to cut through the foam. It is particularly useful for larger cuts and shaping foam blocks.

Electric Carving Knife: An electric carving knife, typically used in the kitchen, can also be used to cut EPS foam. This tool has two blades that move back and forth, allowing for smooth and precise cuts in the foam.

When using these tools, it is important to work in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate safety equipment, such as goggles and a dust mask, to protect against foam particles and fumes. Additionally, it’s always a good idea to practice on scrap pieces of foam before working on your actual project to get familiar with the tools and techniques. Remember to take safety precautions and use the appropriate tools to ensure clean and accurate cuts in your EPS foam billet. Happy carving and cutting!
