What, like a hot-wire cutter?  My Dad and I used to cut foam wing cores
with a homebuilt hot wire cutter.  6' length of 2x2" pine, a few inches of
3/16 piano wire sunk into either end and some Ni-chrome wire strung
between, powered by a 12V car battery.  We cut dozens of wings with this
setup.  I think I've seen somethign similar advertised now that used a hot
wire driven by steppers on what acts like a big-arsed flatbed plotter.
