Would it cut through craft foam?

It does not do a very good cut all the way around. It hung up on one edge every time I tried with the craft foam. It does great with just scrapbooking paper or regular copy paper. Hope this helps.

My guess would be no, it's fabric, not plastic, so you would be cutting through seams. Why would one want to cut it?

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

It can be cut but the thicker the foam the harder it is because of the bulk. I use scissors when I can and a sharp razor blade or Stanley knife for the thicker stuff. I'm sure there's some sort of tool upholsterers use but I don't have one of those.

We had 2 pieces of stock paper which is a heavy card stock and it cut right through with no problem, I would think as long as you clean the blade to keep it from getting sticky from the glue you should be fine.

I don't think it would work. The tool does not have a sharp blade for cutting paper or cardboard. The hot knife melts through foam, therefore "cutting" it. Paper does not melt. The hot knife gets really hot, and would melt the core that is sandwiched between the poster board, but wouldn't melt the poster board on the outside. It might even catch the paper on fire. The hot knife is a wonderful tool for cutting styrofoam and I hope to try it out on corrugated plastic (Coroplast), because I think that would work. Maybe you could use Coroplast instead of foam core!

I'm pretty sure you can't cut it - because that would leak out the foam and liquid that are inside.You would have to look for a smaller one. There are even some hot compress medical-type packs that might work for you.

I don't think so. It has worked well with most, not all rigid foam cutting jobs. I'm thinking, because the upholstery foam is soft, it will probably just melt around the wire, thus creating a mess rather than doing as you wanted. There is no way to regulate the heat setting, so I would advise against trying it. Not a Bad idea but the wrong tool for the job. Sorry, hope this helps.

If you have a really sharp knife you can cut it to the contours of the weapon. But the way it is really done, you have to pluck the foam out the way you want. Hope it helps.

Perhaps. You would have to use some kind of saw to do so. But it's not too thick to cut.

Sure! It cuts easily with scissors. I used this in a mine craft themed bedroom for my son, as a rug. ... it is a hit!

Yes you can. It's like a hot knife through butter when cutting foam. Worth every penny for us. We used it to cut out for horses.

I would say no because it works with a foaming action, and it,s probably cut with water that will evaporate

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

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.

It might not reach through the material your cutting then? But u could always place something under the material tour cutting if that happens.

I've not used it for poly foam but I can tell you the saw makes clean cuts with melamine-coated particle board. I am using a DeWalt portable saw.
