Would this cut craft foam 1/4 in thick?

It's designed for one or more fairly thin layers of fabric, and only cuts a smooth curve for items 1-2 mm thick or less. I'm not sure 1/4" would fit within the radius of the blade. Even if it did fit under the blade, the resulting cut would be pretty choppy-- the blade won't roll smoothly if embedded so deeply. Slow manual cutting with an Exacto knife blade would be better.

Sorry I have never used it for that, but I really don't think it would work. It is designed for fabric and works very well for that. I also used it to cut interfacing, and batting. Never have tried foam though.

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.

I think this should not be the purpose of such a saw... its blade is thin and my experience is that it has worked very well cutting up to 1 1/4",

I would not try thicker than 1/4 inch. Thicker? ...Make more passes, slower cut. This is not a router. I use it for an engraving machine with a v bit and it works great for the price.

No, I doubt it. I would say the materials you mentioned are much to thick. It would however work for a variety of things no thicker than about 1/8 in thickness.

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.

don't see why not. Perhaps using a box cutter vs. scissors to cut. It would be good to layer on top of regular foam to add cushioning. Great idea ! :)

The corner pieces are 1 1/4" thick and so I'd venture to say that anything less than that would be a problem. I tried using it on 1/4" pieces to no avail. 3/4" pieces would likely be the thinnest you could go.

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.

I haven't tried it but I think it would do OK with a 1/4" plywood. Not sure the "blade" would do well on thicker material. You would have to move slowly. My opinion.

It's a great tool, but I dont know that Id try and cut through .75" of material.. I cut 1/4" mdf core birch ply and it was pretty great but slow.. It is however a fantastic versatile tool.. And highly recommend it to anyone.

The thickest that I have cut is about an inch and a quarter hardwood, had no problem, I believe you could even thicker if you took your time and not push it real hard and use sharp blades! Hope this helps !!

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very much lower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the work without forcing the cut.

It will cut it easily. I've cut thicker material but if you plan on cutting a lot of heavy material you may consider a bigger machine.

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 love this punch; however I have not had success in punching through craft foam. The product is a little too thick to fit into the punch.

No !!! Is a little bit more wider so you have to cut a 1/4 inch from side to side!!!
