Can it cut through the 3/16 foam board?

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

I own a 440-1, and if you mean 3/16 foam core - yes, the mat knife will allow you to cut this type of mounting board to size with a perpendicular cut. Just in case, I've never tried to do a bevel cut into mounting board, but I have a feeling that's not what you want to do. Make sure not to over-tighten the screw on the mat knife, I learned the hard way. Have a good one!

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 might be able to. The "grid" you see on the product image is basically 1" increments to guide you in cutting down to the desired size. So, it SHOULD work. but I have never tried it. I'll give an 85-90% probably yes. Hope that helps.

It depends on how thick your decking planks are. The blade has a maximum cutting depth of 1 1/16". Anything over that won't be cut.

1/2" Foam is the limit for this particular cutter. It has 1/8" marks where you tighten the blade to adjust.

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.

I am sure it would cut through it but I do not know if it would be a clean cut or not. I have never cut foam with a hot tool...I usually use an X-acto knife or something similar.

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 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 think you could cut it to a custom size, although I'm not sure what would be the best way to cut it. The foam would stay together and keep it's shape after you cut 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

I don't see why that wouldn't be possible, but not sure what you would use to cut it. It seems pretty durable.

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

you should be able to cut through these boards with no problems,but check for nails first.

Yes it can. As an interior designer who also makes the items I sell, I have much experience in cutting foam. The easiest way to cut foam is using an electric knife. Hope this helps.
