will this cut well with 0.5" memory foam (polyethylene)?

That type of foam is very dense. I *think* it would at a higher setting but would also take longer to cut through.

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.

No, it is designed to cut all the way through. You would need to turn the foam vertically to cut depth into it.

Havent tried it but it should be okay. Just adjust cutting height settings.

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.

I was unable to locate precut foam except from Pelican with no tooling cuts. I purchased black 1/2" and red 1/4" foam from www.foambymail.com and cut all of my tools out with an exacto knife and router. They have several options available and inexpensive. Good luck!

Yes, it would be good for that. As you learn to use it, you'll find that regardless of the setting you choose, the thickness of the cut can vary as your pressure varies. Uniformity comes with practice. This is not a precision device.

It's probably an inch thick but is plastic, so I doubt it would cut well or look right.

It should be able to cut through EVA foam with a thickness less than 1/2 inch due to the blade width. Do be wary of fumes from the EVA foam as you are cutting. Just from cutting vinyl and pleather covered fabrics there is already some toxic plastic fumes. Hope that helps!Dremels might be a better option for cutting and shaping EVA foam.

It should.... It would depend on which machine you are using but yes, I believe it will. Using a 6x12 mat would only limit the size of the cut. Have fun!

yes! Its very thin and light. I cut mine but its not heavy duty enough to stay put now.

my husband said yes it would but to take your time and if it starts heating up to stop and let it cool off then finish if it's real thick. he has cut 1/4 inch with no problem or heating up.

No, It won't cut anything thicker than 1/16". I have cut plastic and fabric with mine.

Any wood cutting blade would work. The more teeth a blade has , the less ripout there is. This mainly applies to wood but I imagine it would be the same with the foam backed trim. Get a 50 or 60 tpi blade

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.

It will be very snug. The 5 1/2 inches would be the snug part. There is no protection from the rivets to the cutting edge.

Sure. And what works best IMHO is an electric carving knife. Cutting foam with those is the only reason I keep one around.
