- What's up Foam Fanatics?!
So we've covered foam, cutting foam and the Proxxon machine, so let's dive into the first real cutting class!
In this video I show how to cut your basic shapes, and also how to cut thin sheets of foam. These thin sheets are really useful for rooftiles or other small and thin ornaments.
So bring your machine out and cut some foam with me!

Let's get crafting!
I consider myself a proxxon veteran and I have bought many of your jigs, but I continue to learn more and more about this awesome machine. I want you to know that I appreciate you, Gérard. - Rick, USMC.
This is great advice, thank you! That super thin sheet might make a good light diffuser for LED lights.
Wau ! I love this series THANKS! I am new to cutting with the Proxxon, so it helps a lot ! :)
Thanks for doing these. They're great
Thanks Gerard, your doing a great service for us with this content!
Thank you Sir for the great tutorials on this craft. I am new to the Proxxon and look forward to investing in the tools you made for it.
Great tutorial!
You should file a flat or some other mark on the heat dial, Then you could simply dial the flat up.
Start you SL Foamcutter Kickstarter...
I bet yours will be so much better than (the very good) proxxon.
Danke für das Video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
"...smells like chicken." LOL I burned a finger on a 3D Filament printing nozzle set to 280 degrees Celsius. Felt like an electric shock but I didn't register a smell - too busy not screaming and getting cold water on it immediately, followed by burn protocol. Nice to know you can cut such a thin sheet of foam and still be safe! I hadn't tried cutting sheets that thin, thanks for your video showing it can be done. I am getting a lot of great information out of your Basic series, thank you!
Loving these videos! Please keep making more!
I too have bought your jigs, fence and guides for my Proxxon and I plan to buy more. I am still learning and doing simple things. Recently started into building a stone arch bridge for my model railroad. I took @13mm (half inch) thick XPS and created a slab about 229mm x 357mm (9 x14 inch). Using the pattern rollers I rolled the O scale stones into the XPS. Then split the sheet vertically so I could have one sheet of stone on each side of the bridge. I then took a rounded tip tool to the XPS to deepen the mortar lines around the stone pattern. I also took a rolled up ball of aluminum foil and rubbed it across the stone surface.
My bridge is already in place. I use a heavy paper product called Ram Board to create the bridge with the arches. Ram Board is mainly used to protect flooring during renovation. Strong enough to walk on with boots without tearing. It is also great for bendable backdrops as comes in rolls. Once painted on both sides it is feels like a heavy canvas. I also use it to create structure walls which I plan to apply XPS foam to. My plan today is to glue the two sides of the XPS stone to attach each side of the bridge on the Ram Board. Then i will come back with a hot wire stick cutter and run it along the edges of the Ram Board arches to cut the XPS to match. Then I can apply a layer of a gray chalk type foam to seal it.
Please keep the instructional videos coming!
Sounds great! Thanks for your reply and keep up the good work!
Tanks for the tutorial.
Nice demo. Happy new Year!
Very interesting tips! Is there any further explanation for why flipping the block when slicing off sheets keeps the layers consistent?
No matter how well you line up the wire, I think it never will be in a perfect 90 degree angle so you almost ever end op with a difference in thickness. This is why I pointed this out. Another thing that might influence the thickness is the heat of the wire not being the same heat along the entire wire. I can not prove this but that might also be an issue.
sorry Gerard, could you show how you made the pedalboard? it is feasible?
How is the glider locked in place? I have one but mine doesn’t have a way to lock in place. I have to use clamps.
