Is it possible to cut foam?

Recommended Posts

Anyone think its possible to cut foam with a uscutter? Maybe an attachment to add onto it? A homemade attachment? an attachment that is made at home that is cheap? lol

Maybe you could snap a hot wire foam melter ?  :)

Just thinking guys, I wanted to add some text letters to a few walls at work....

Feel free to throw some ideas out there. Thank you! :D

John would know best as he had an upholstery shop before . I think an electric knife is used by most of the people who deal with foam . How thick is the foam & what shape are you wanting to cut it into ?

You might be able to score thin foamboard (3/16" maybe..) and then break it the rest of the way.  USCutter sells the flatbed extensions that fit some models.

I don't see how you could do a hot wire on the cutter as there has to be a connection on the bottom, which would not work with the friction-feed system, but you could certainly cut templates out of cheap vinyl or pen them on paper and make your own hot wire out of a soldering iron.
