The HWS-Easy 2! hot wire foam cutter is ideally suited for a variety of hobby, DIY and construction tasks. It can be used both in a horizontal position and securely mounted to scaffolding when required. The HWS-Easy 2! cutter is the perfect choice for users who value reliability and simple construction.
One of the key advantages of using the HWS-Easy 2! foam cutter is its cleanliness and precision. When polystyrene (EPS) is cut mechanically with traditional tools such as saws, knives, or blades, a large amount of waste, small pieces, and foam debris is produced. Due to their very light weight, these particles spread easily and contaminate both the workplace and the entire construction site. Cleaning and collecting this fine “white debris” takes a significant amount of time.
With the HWS-Easy 2! foam cutter, the material is cut by thermal melting, sealing the edges of the polystyrene as it is cut. This method produces no loose pieces or fine debris at all. Simply make a clean cut, take the foam piece, and put it straight to use.

HOT WIRE FOAM CUTTER HWS-EASY 2!
STRUCTURE
The standard HWS-Easy 2! cutter is delivered as a ready-to-use, classic table-type cutting system. It can also be mounted on scaffolding, as the main set includes a dedicated scaffold bracket. The lightweight aluminum cutting bow features ball-bearing-supported side elements for smooth and accurate movement, while the durable laminated wood tabletop ensures excellent stability and precise cutting performance.
POWER SUPPLY
The powerful transformer is easily mounted on the device using four screws. After connecting the transformer to the cutting bow via XLR connectors, the HWS-Easy 2! foam cutter is ready for operation immediately. The transformer features IP68 protection, ensuring reliable use in demanding working environments.
LIMIT STOP SLIDERS
A small but crucial detail: the HWS-Easy 2! foam cutter is equipped with limit stop sliders that lock the cutting bow at a fixed height for precise longitudinal cuts. For example, a 340mm polystyrene board can be split into two 170mm sections without any additional measuring.

STRUCTURE
The frame of the HWS-Easy 2! foam cutting unit features a simple, unpainted finish with a more basic appearance. Various fastening components (including limit stop sliders, wing nuts) are made of durable plastic. In addition, the cutter does not include locking mechanisms for securing the movable frame during transportation.
HEATING CONTROL
The main difference compared to the HWS-Easy! model is the absence of an ON/OFF switch. The HWS-Easy 2! foam cutting machine is equipped with a push-button control only: the wire heats up while the button is pressed and automatically stops heating when released.
CUTTING CAPACITY
The wire length is the same as on the HWS-Easy! cutter; however, the usable cutting height is increased to up to 380 mm (compared to 330 mm on the HWS-Easy! model). The tabletop surface has a width of 380 mm (290 mm on the HWS-Easy! model), providing additional working space.
CUTTING WIRE
We use copper-coated nichrome(NiCr) wire. Ready-made cutting wires are supplied with lugs on both ends for quick and easy installation on the hot wire cutter. The wires are available individually (1 pc) or in bulk packs (1 kit = 10 pcs).
