zippy ripper










Started cutting more foam today...need to rig a fence to zip through quicker - the saw and guide "as is" only goes to 20".  Fast/precise cuts is what I need.  Ben doesn't seem to mind his first taste of generator noise.  Carl weighed in on the progress today - 5lbs.  92,102,74,0,B,0

    John,
    Look up a hot wire cutter for foam it might be faster and more accurate

    You can heat up a ball bearing and drop it down the foam to form wire races. You might ruin a piece getting the hang of it. the rat

    Thanks for all the hot wire info - I have used them before to cut foam. The table saw is much faster.

    I know you keep an eye on Ben, does he wander on his own around TFL or does he stay close to "mamma"

    makes sure work of foams and batts, and none of those damn crumbs from the foam.

    I have faith that you can cobble together a table saw side extension with a clamped on fence. As long as the centers on your studs is just as precise it's a cake walk.
