How deep will it cut? I need to cut out the foam in a gun case to fit a rifle. At the barrel portion I will have to extend in aprx 8-9 inches.

This item will not cut the 8-9 inches you will need. The distance between the "collars" that hold the wire that does the cutting is only 4 1/4" and if the collars were slid down to the lowest point that will still hold the cutting wire taut the depth of cut would be only 5 1/2".

You will have to take thin slices and shave the foam away with this device.

I don't think you will find it able to plunge cut that deep. Also fair to mention, this acts differently with various make ups of foam. Some, it will cut cleanly, yet others it kind of just melts around the wire. If you can remove the foam from the gun case, you could test a small area to see if it works. If so you may be able to make the cut you need and reglue it back in the case once you test fight your rifle. Hope this helps.

My gun has an overall length from tip of barrel front to end tip of handle at bottom of 13.5". The overall height of gun from bottom of handle to top of iron sights is 6.5". At it widest point it it's 2.3" wide. I have plenty of room width wise. The inside is actually 16" long not 15 as advertised. At its shortest up front the case inside is 3". At highest point inside is 8".Hope this helps...measure your gun to these good estimates and that should help out. I love this case...well made and keeps my gun polished and warn :)

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.

If the case is long enough you can cut any shape out easily. The case was made to make it your personal shape to fit any gun that is not longer or wider than the measurements.I love the case for my gun.

I measure 3 inches even with the blade that came with the saw. I have been using it attached to the EZ Track Saw system - and get 2.5 inches deep with that. I have been ripping 2 inch thick slabs of hickory that are 8 feet long and it works very well.

I wondered that very thing but didn't try it. Given it's density and previous experience cutting foam with a hot knife, I think it would work. There must be an online help site with a more definitive anwser than mine. The best of luck. The foam is fantastic.

I have an ONTARIO SPEC-PLUS RAIDER BOWIE SP-10 knife. The blade is 9 3/4 inches long. The tip of the knife bottoms out about 1/8 inch before the hilt hits the top of the sheath. I think this does not bother the sheath since it is very robust and I would have to pound the knife in with a hammer to cause damage. Since your knife has an 8 1/2 inch blade this is not an issue. The blade is no wider than the sheath at the widest point. I don't see your Winchester having a problem with the Case sheath.

Ask the manufacturer about the depth of cut. The unit I bought was .500" max on a 90 degree cut. I used the machine for production cuts of Delrin tubing - very accurate and repeatable. VERY good machine. They have a machine that will take your cut. For the buck, believe you should try it.

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.

The foam that has the "precut squares" is 36 1/2" x 13" x 2 1/2" thick. However there is a 1" border that is not precut so you cut your effective area to layout to 34 1/2 X 11. I have a Tavor Bullpup and with the optic it take all of the height dimension.

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

My rifle is about 34 3/4 inches and it is a little tight in the case. There is some room there, but I wish it had more. It should fit diagonally but if I had to do it again, I'd buy the 42 inch. Awesome case otherwise.

I can't answer that because we don't use our for rifles and I don't know how tall your rifles are. But this is one really nice case. The ID of the interior is 10x50 inches, which is fully surrounded by thick foam. I would assume it would work.

That type of foam is very dense. I *think* it would at a higher setting but would also take longer to cut through.

It is pretty hard foam with cutouts for up a five inch barrel as well as an under mounted flashlight. I fit a Glock 29, full sized HK USP, Beretta 92F, and a 1911 very comfortably. My 1911 has a threaded barrel and extended beaver tail on it so it's a little tighter. I couldn't be happier with this case though. It also has cutouts for an extra magazine per handgun.

I measured the inside from inside edge to edge and with a tight tape it measures out at 52 1/2" so if your weapon is 51 it should fit with 3/4" on each side, if you do get this cash get some spray glue to adhere the foam to the inside of the case , I put some extra foam in there to keep my Colt 6920 from sliding and it works great, can't beat the price and 4 latches , anything else lemme know.

Not likely. The interior length of the case is 32 3/8" without padding. The length is 30 3/4" with the installed padding and material over the padding. My 30" barrel fits with only 3/4" to spare. If you removed most of the foam on each end, it might work, but then you wouldn't have much protection on either end of the barrel.
