Here are some pictures of my foam work; non RC work. The bows pictured did not work too well for my airplane build. I will make new ones. The vertical cutter needs a little rework. An easier way to adjust the wire for vertical and square to table. Easy to do left to right adjust. A pain for front to back adjust. Will change this. Also found a foot switch to turn wire on and off would really help. As well as a fence for the table.

Just sample cuts of wing core and how to thin foam. The wide wire and foam picture is how I sliced the foam thin. Worked well.

The stacked ½” foam for the airplane. My power supply is from a computer power supply. I’ve made 2 of them. One to power the various cutting bows and the other the vertical table cutter. I adjust the wire heat by selecting different voltages and also I use a wire resistor that I made.
