Default Hot wire cutter question, power supply

I'm real curious (after all this discussion) about what you decided
to do?


It was in one of my replies. After reading about the toxic fumes I'd get
from polyurethane, I suddenly remembered a hacksaw blade I have that
looks like it came from a bread slicing machine, and maybe it did.
Going to make a simple fixture to hold the blade under tension at the
required height, and oscillate the foam past the blade.
I'll post a few pictures to the Drop Box when I get back to fitting the
drawer for my micrometers.

I may yet make a hot wire cutter for some other project, but I don't
have many cuts to make, so the blade should do fine.
