Does anyone know a store in Victora or somewhere easy to order online from that sells 20 gage NiChrome wire? I am looking for about 10 feet of it.

Try a large hobbyshop (r/c planes etc).

I purchased a foamcutter from one a while back with addition wire, was about 20 gauage.

can you guess how hot it would be about 1/2 an inch from the wire on your foam cutter? and also I would like to know what they are using for a power supply (as in volts and amps) if you could tell me please.

It's at work but seems most heat is at the wire.

Did a search on google and there's lot of DIY foam cutters and power supplies.
