It depends on density and wire heat, but as a starting point: light ইপিএস (expanded, the white bead foam) cuts fast and forgiving, often 15–25 mm/s; denser এক্সপিএস (extruded, the coloured insulation board) is tougher and cleaner-edged but wants a slower feed, perhaps 8–15 mm/s, or a touch more heat.
The real rule is to balance feed against temperature: the wire should melt a clean slot just ahead of itself. Run a short test cut, watch the wire — if it bows and drags, slow down or heat up; if the kerf is wide and droopy, speed up or cool down. Dial it in once per foam type and note the numbers for next time.
