Can this be used to cut foam board? If yes, how thick a foam board can it cut?

I have used it to cut foam core up to 1/2" for my interior design boards, but that's as thick as I've had occassion to cut. I believe you can adjust the depth of the blade up to an inch though.

Honestly I haven't tried yet, but I have cut through magazines and it makes a nice clean cut so I would assume foam core would not be a problem.

yes, you can cut it, I had to as well. A good pair of scissors help it is a little thick and will pull a bit. I used a large size it worked great.

You can raise the blade level more than 1 inch so it would fit. Based on that I would think it would cut glass that thick. It is very sharp and if you take the time I believe it would do the job. However I have never tried to cut anything that thick.

I guess it could, very good quality foam, I cut mine with an electric knife and it took time because of the quality but the foam holds up extremely well.

It's rather thick. It can be cut, but I think you'd need something other than scissors to do it. Good luck!

Inch boards are about as far as I want go with this. Nice little saw, it would probably cut more thickness but would be slow. I use a band saw for thick stuff.

It's a great tool, but I dont know that Id try and cut through .75" of material.. I cut 1/4" mdf core birch ply and it was pretty great but slow.. It is however a fantastic versatile tool.. And highly recommend it to anyone.

Foam flexes, so it would be tricky cutting it to that dimension, but you could try.

I have not tried foam poster board, but it cuts regular Styrofoam prices like butter!

I'm not sure, but I assume a person could. It's made entirely of foam--two inches of soft memory foam on the top, with the rest being a denser foam--and it is inside a zipped cloth covering. I think if a person thought out how their going to cut, and what they're going to cut it with, it should be doable.

What would you want to cut foam with a device that is made to run HO Gauge trains. I could only see problems with using this device for that reason. DON'T DO IT !

I don't see any reason why you couldn't. I do know that an electric knife usually works best when cutting foam.

slotted carpet knife blade is thinner than utility blade or probably scissors will work on 2'' foam. Hope this helps

I don't recommend cutting foam core with this product. Since you have to clamp down the stack to cut, and the blade cuts vertically, you will most likely cause the edges of your foam core to dent and wrinkle. I recommend a rolling or slide trimmer to cut foam core.

I haven't tried it on foam but it seems like it could work especially for thin layers. On wood it was great!

Yes, foam board is soft enough for the hot knife to cut through easily. Just make sure the foam board is not too thick (about 1 cm is the max thickness due to the short blade).
