Please log in for more thread options I just want to share this with the group. I have been using nichrome for resistors and foam cutting. The best souce I have found for small quanities is PnJ Resources, LLC. Sparky | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Are you the same guy that asked about making one a while back? If so I suppose you were successful? Could you explain what happened and what you learned for the rest of us? Thanks, Jon | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I did search the archives here and other places about making foam cutters and resisters. I hope in the future I will be able to post on more helpful issues.

I never made a foam cutter - I just held the alligator clips in my hands and cut some foam just to see if I could do it. FWIW, it was a 7.5V,1A wall wart and about 9" of #36 nichrome advertised as "28 ohms per foot" or some such. Cheers! Rich | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
