Can this punch cut through sheets of craft foam?

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.

Yes you can. If the paper is too thin it might get distorted around the area where you punch the hole.

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.

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.

Thank you for your interest in this item. This punch would not work well with foam tape.

Probably, with effort. I was trying to punch through card stock and it wasn't fun. It's a really flimsy hole punch.

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've not used it for poly foam but I can tell you the saw makes clean cuts with melamine-coated particle board. I am using a DeWalt portable saw.

I have never tried it personally, but this thing is amazingly sharp and strong. It can cut 250 pages of card stock or 350 regular paper, so I would imagine it must cut stickers

I use for cutting out appliqued fabric pieces with paper backing attached. Have not cut individual paper with it. I do believe it would work.

Yes, you can. A sharp knife is all you need to cut it, and a small awl should work to punch through it

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.

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.

The Tool Cuts 8 Inch laminate Reasonably Well. I Did Not Have Attached Pad, However I Don't Think The Blade Will Have Any Issues Will Cutting The foam.

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

I have never tried that but if the sheets are Styrofoam remember that Styrofoam is beaded so you will not get a clean cut. also the thickness of the sheet will matter. I hope this helps. Thanks, Joe

You can cut any foam with a bread knife but you would hafta carefully re sew the cover back together afterward. Snap a chalk line on foam to keep cut straight. Good luck
