Can you say if it will cut foam board? I want to cut letters out of foam board from the dollar store.

Foam sheet (insulator from lowes or home depot) it works great. As for foam padded between posters like foam board... Probably no because one of materials in not foam.

It will score and cut chipboard if you can pass down firmly enough. I've used it on the white sided chipboard.

I expect it depends on the material being cut. The plywood and thin material I have used, it splinters. It cuts a straight line but does not cut as I expected it to do as the ad depicted.

No, it won't work for that. It's for crafts. I use it. for hours and hours on its absolute hottest setting and still have trouble carving hollow craft foam.

I would say that it isn't hot enough for that. It really is designed for cutting foam, as far as I can tell. Hope this helps.

You will get the best cut with the laminate side up, not the foam side. The cut should be clean. Once you set the blade against the laminate, push the handle down quickly so it "snaps" the laminate. Be sure to set the blade against the wood before snapping it down. The blade shouldn't have to be sharpened and if my suggestions don't work, then I think your cutter could be defective.

Hi Venus, I have cut felt, thin chipboard and of course cardstock. I have embossed all different weights of fabrics, thin cardboard and felt so far. I'm sure it would emboss compressed foam. It is a wonderful embosser and a real workhorse! I would recommend you buy a couple of cutting plates and at least an extra set of the embossing plates. I'm going to try a cut aluminum can. Great idea! I'm that confident about it! I'm all about recycling and creating art! I hope this helps!

I use mine for cutting material; however, I don't see why it wouldn't cut cardboard. The straightness of the line depends on the user.

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.

It will cut through cardboard, fabric, thin wood and leave cut marks on my table. I'm sure it will cut through felt. It's a handy gadget. I'm as is fixed with the results. It has various sized circles to use which are kept in the handle for storage.

No I don't think so. I have not tried it of course but I'm confident it's not sharp enough for that kind of cutting. Thick paper is fine.

I have not tried it on anything other then packaging tape on shipping boxes, mailing bags and some thin paper. I'm thinking its not designed to cut heavy cardboard.

I don't recommend cutting foam core with this product. Since you have to clamp down the stack to cut, and the blade cuts vertically, you will most likely cause the edges of your foam core to dent and wrinkle. I recommend a rolling or slide trimmer to cut foam core.

I have not tried foam poster board, but it cuts regular Styrofoam prices like butter!

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

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.

I don't know. Probably not unless there is a special blade to used. Blades are small and delicate. Can be used to cut cement board.
