Would this work for cutting foam board?

What kind of foam board? Usually a serrated knife works well for that, or scoring and breaking. I think this would just melt it and make a mess. Sorry!

I haven't tried it on foam but it seems like it could work especially for thin layers. On wood it was great!

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

Yes, foam board is soft enough for the hot knife to cut through easily. Just make sure the foam board is not too thick (about 1 cm is the max thickness due to the short blade).

I guess it could, very good quality foam, I cut mine with an electric knife and it took time because of the quality but the foam holds up extremely well.

Foam flexes, so it would be tricky cutting it to that dimension, but you could try.

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

Yes. I've used it as a source of polyurethane foam for craft projects-- cuts well with electric carving knife or a utility blade. Any creases or crush marks come out well when sprayed lightly with water and steamed carefully with a warm iron.

I do believe it would as I have cut 4 Britol Board prints at one time with no problem. Blade is exremely sharp and is not one of your typical paper cutters found in schools. Eric Lucero

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

It would but I dont suggest it. Your best bet is to use plywood. If you dont jave the ability to cut it, buy it at Lowes/home depot and they will cut it for free.

Yu could but it really is designed to cut EPS foam without paper, but it would work

I would say yes But I can't open the link to the tool. This product is what I've always called "Styrofoam", it's not "foam". I bought it by mistake because I thought it was Foam.

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.

Yes it would. I use it mostly to level out cut logs on one side so I can cut them into bowl blanks on my bandsaw, but I have used it to remove bark, it makes quick work of it.

It can work, if you can clamp down the material that you are working with.now remember that this item is only good for square cuts.

Maybe not the exact fitting piece but if you do a web search on "pick and pluck foam", you'll see a bunch. You may have to cut to size.

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

Honestly I haven't tried yet, but I have cut through magazines and it makes a nice clean cut so I would assume foam core would not be a problem.

Yes it will, make sure to use a wood blade. Again it's a jig saw, if you re going to be cutting a lot of particle board, and depending on the project you may want to consider a circular saw or a table saw, again it's depending on how big the project is... The jig saw is for making round cuts and more detailed cuts, if you re just making straight cuts and a lot of them a circular saw is what you'll want.. I hope that helps
