You can use this to cut out space in kaizen foam to securely store your tools such as a spot for your hot knife.

Is the blade long enough for dairy queen ice cream cake?
No need to cut those, just give me a fork, and stand back.

I'm thinking of getting this for cutting slabs of beeswax into smaller pieces. Any thoughts on this from those familiar with this tool?

If you happen to be building an ICF construction house, this is the cleanest way to make cutouts for electrical outlet, switch, and other boxes in the wall. This, and a small electric chainsaw with a depth guide, can do 90% of the wire work in ICF walls.

Yes.
Now adding random characters to make the message long enough for SD bot to accept.

Score with a putty knife and break it. You don't need to slice it through.

Yes, that would work just fine at lower temperatures. If you turn the temperature up much you're going to quickly reach the smoking point of the wax, smoke yourself out and also char the edges of the cut.

You could even (very carefully) sharpen one of the edges to make for a cleaner, more minimal cut. This tool is typically used to "melt" cut through material, but I suspect you want a minimum of mess and waste of wax, so slow physically cutting with a heated tool should work best for your purpose I believe.

Tried that with a few different knifes, it never scores cleanly for more than a few feet, not sure if i am doing something wrong or what but instead of scoring it cleanly, it skips across it and makes a buncha divot holes.

Have read online to try the smallest cheapest disposable razor knife, so I am going to try that next. Have previously used much more heavy duty blades.
