Will it cut through foam sheets? Thin couple of millimeters

I just tested it on some 1/8" foam and 1/4" foam and it worked fine. Keep the blade sharp to prevent material from sliding and you should be fine, Just a heads up - this does not come with extra blades so you may want to consider ordering them at the same time.

I cannot say for sure but IMO I think it would with little problem. I love mine!

I think it would just fine. Although it will also dull somewhat quickly, so you'll need replacement blades handy.

It might cut through it (or hot butter), but it isn't much good for anything else. I would use a knife.

Yes, it will cut through, as long as you take into account: 1) You have to have the hand strength to compress the punch to cut through a thicker material. If you can't squeeze the punch hard enough, the blades can't do the work. 2) The blades will be initially sharp enough, but will dull a tiny bit with each use. To sharpen the blades, cut through a very fine sandpaper a few times. You will feel the difference. 3) If the contact paper has a sticky adhesive, it will get on the blades and you will need to stop and clean them. You could try one of the label removing solvents, like Glue Gone, on a cotton ball or rag.

Excellent tool for cutting foam sheets. Cuts through material up to 6". Use a non-metallic straight edge for super straight cuts. Not good for intricate scroll cuts. Slices through foam like butter. I'm very pleased with mine.

Yes, you can. A sharp knife is all you need to cut it, and a small awl should work to punch through it

Lori,Even though I have never tried it. My educated guess is that yes it would. My knife goes thru foam like butter so this might take a bit longer but still do the job.Sam

Yes this will. I use these to cut leather. Of course you'll have to use shorter strokes to cut through it. And since my pieces that I make are smaller, I mostly use the 2 smaller knives.

Yes I have used it to cut carpet. It was a thinner carpet so not sure about thicker carpet

I would think so, you'll need a razor as scissors won't be able to encompass the thickness of the mattress

Megan, so far I'm very happy with the cutter it cuts through all types. I've used it a lot with 2" thick foam and no problems.

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

Can be done, BUT the knife edge is about 5/8" tall so makes intricate details and sharp inside corners difficult at best. the thinner "Needle" type knife is needed for the finer details. Great knife for cutting large areas, fully adjustable temperature settings is great. I now have both. If your foam has a plastic or paper covering on it, it will need to be removed first, like on Foam Board (Blue or Pink). If on the white bead board with the plastic covering,,,, use a knife or razor blade, forget the hot knife.

Sorry I have never used it for that, but I really don't think it would work. It is designed for fabric and works very well for that. I also used it to cut interfacing, and batting. Never have tried foam though.

I have not tried to cut that type of foam but I would imagine it would, you might want to keep the temp dialed down so you do not get a melting effect.

Yes, I have cut through multiple aluminum sheets that are pretty thick. But you may want to get better bits than what comes with the kit.

I'm not sure--the wire might "bend" as it's cutting. It doesn't do well on thin plastic,

It'd sure easily cut the foam board. I got this for carving fake pumpkins which are pretty much just foam.
