square for cutting foam blocks

Recommended Posts

Maybe someone else has done this I dont know. I bought a couple of small carpenter squares and drilled holes in them. If I needed to sqare up a block and cut a nice straite square line I would put the foam block on my nice flat table and just put the square on the table and line it up with the mark on the foam. Insert composite cleacos (Hicks drywall screws) and cut away with my hot wire I only had to usually put 3 screws in it to hold it tight enough for the hot wire. I am all done hotwiring I will miss it till I build the next project. STeve build on Posted Image
