Ive been asked to source a CNC foam cutter and tbh have had absolutely no experience with hot wires or oscillating blades.

A portion of the company I work for outsources cutting out foam for beds and cushions. Its quite a stiff foam. I have seen hotwire machines and also oscillating blade machines and I am unsure which is the better or more suitable for ops. It also appears the blade machine is a whole lot more expensive.

If there is anyone out there with sponge and foam cutting machinery experience I would like to hear which is best? I am a relatively experienced router machinist, but am just unsure which machine to focus on. Its always a lot nicer spending someone elses money.
