Review on Woodland Scenics ST1437 Cutter Guide by Amanda Castillo

This thing cuts Styrofoam like a hot knife! Keep in mind that the extension is designed to cut through larger objects, but it won't cut through them at the same speed that a smaller nozzle will cut through thinner foam. You need to go slow or you will have trouble if the wire gets stuck in the material you are trying to cut. Just a note: it looks like it's intended for cutting styrofoam intended for use in a model railway or playground. . It will actually cut through other types of styrofoam, but be careful. My husband made some larger design pieces using a stamp meant for insulation. For these grades, even with the same thickness, you need to work more slowly to get the same controlled result. ALSO SHOULD BE USED IN A WELL VENTILATED SPACE. Styrofoam gives off fumes when heated that you don't want to inhale. Insulation classes are particularly problematic.
