Thanks in Advance
I have been using a hot knife for almost 2 years now. It works for doing detail type work (see my last project: http://halloweenforum.com/halloween-...tml#post464335).

The one I use has several different types of "tips" for both large and small details.

If you are wanting to just cut up foam boards, there are easier methods. I know several people use a dremel for cutting mortor & stones in sheets of foam.
