Our small team made a hot wire cutter and bought some foam from home depot. We made templates, put two guys on the hot wire cutter and the results were... inconsistent, to be gracious. I've looked for online videos about hot wire cutting but didn't find any relevant to airplane parts, only to smaller, ornamental parts with a vertical wire desktop cutter.
I did take the EAA composite workshop years ago and got good results with their setup, but we're obviously missing the secret sauce.
Possible error souces:
1. We don't know what we're doing!
2. Bad foam
3. Bad templates
If anybody is in the vicinity, we'd love some coaching!
Thanks!
