We had a foam wing cutter in the lab at school. I can't even remember how many stupid wings I cut with that thing, it was a real PIA.
You never miss something until it's gone
Bagging the wings is not that hard (and for an airfoil I would call it an essential step)...if you have the tools. For a car sized wing you'll need a decent sized pump, a hose and attachment, and quite a bit of bag material and vacuum tape (and maybe some pre-release material). Getting the tools and materials is definitely the hard part. Do a search for "vacuum bagging supplies" if you need to get your own.

It sure is. I bet the waterjet is, too. The airplanes practically build themselves these days
