I have tried to work with this cutter but it is to cheap and flimsy to cut any thing. I am pretty handy with most things but I was disappointed with this cutter. Find a different one. I have yet to get mine to cut anything.

Not sure because the cover would be larger than the pad but I think the foam would be alright to cut just the cover would be larger. We returned ours because to smell was so strong even after months. It may air out in the summer but we got tired of waiting so we sent it back.

Maybe - I used it to redo a chair - measure the depth and area you need, and while the foam cuts okay it takes a bit of work to make it cut very even

That bad, because the shape is preformed. The only way I see it's maybe to buy a little 48x48 and cut to fill the perimeter. it's high density foam so I'm sure you need to use the same material if you want to avoid problems. ope can help.....

I would use a unit which has just a single long straight cutter coming out from the handle. Search for Hot Wire Foam Factory Crafters Hot Knife Kit here on Amazon. $35.

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.

I don't know if this foam can be precut, however, I cut mine with an electric knife using the "meat" blade. It worked great. I used a large square and magic marker to lay it out and the knife cut it directly on the lines. I needed a 2 inch thick piece also and I was able to cut it with no problem. I just worked it from each edge. And, I needed a wedge cut so that I could fit a chair back into the seat area without getting "clumps." That worked A-Ok. My experience with foam? None until now. Also, the foam can be glued. I used 3M Super 77. I hoped I helped.

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.

No. The blade is exposed only about 1/8". It cuts a great circle on the foam board, just not all the way through.

Both previous answers work fine, but another trick is to wet the foam, wring it out, then freeze it. Makes it just hard enough to cut cleanly.

We cut it to fit the bed in our camper. It is not the kid of foam that will fall apart. The middle and edges are all the same, dense foam. We really love what it has done to make us much more comfortable. Also, if you have an electric knife it will slice through it like it is butter.

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.

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

I certainly haven't tried it, but I see no reason why it could not be so. It is only two inches thick,so a sharp utility knife should do the job. Use a heavy straight edge, like a piece of lumber, to guide the cut. Happy sailing!

You can. However anything thicker like foam core is not possible. It really is a matter of wanting to manipulate what is being cut, and with this type of blade, it is not possible.

I haven't done that but I see no reason why you couldn't. You could probably angle the cutters while running and ease it down through the foam wherever you wanted to start.
