Can this cut the type of spongy - charcoal looking foam used in pelican cases? The same stuff as the acoustic foams.

Not sure as I never tried, but I suspect it will. Just turn heat high and go slowly. Don't force it. Hope this helps.

Yes. Any foam that melts easily can be cut accurately with this Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter. The precision of the cut depends on your accurate steady movement thru the cutting wire. The table provides a grid to help you keep your work aligned properly during the cutting process.

you probably could, but the smell might be nasty. If heat melts it, this will cut it.

Absolutely yes. It was designed for it. On the extreme side, it'll also slice thru rigid molded ABS parts slowly.

No. My use of the foam was for a display case for collected knives. And it's easy to cut with a sharp razor, using a straight edge as a guide.

What would you want to cut foam with a device that is made to run HO Gauge trains. I could only see problems with using this device for that reason. DON'T DO IT !

I don't know if this foam can be precut, however, I cut mine with an electric knife using the "meat" blade. It worked great. I used a large square and magic marker to lay it out and the knife cut it directly on the lines. I needed a 2 inch thick piece also and I was able to cut it with no problem. I just worked it from each edge. And, I needed a wedge cut so that I could fit a chair back into the seat area without getting "clumps." That worked A-Ok. My experience with foam? None until now. Also, the foam can be glued. I used 3M Super 77. I hoped I helped.

If you have a really sharp knife you can cut it to the contours of the weapon. But the way it is really done, you have to pluck the foam out the way you want. Hope it helps.

Honestly I haven't tried yet, but I have cut through magazines and it makes a nice clean cut so I would assume foam core would not be a problem.

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.

You can remove the foam, but not easily. I think Real Value and Michael's answer are best. You can cut it out, but there will potentially be residue.

Make the shape in cardboard and use as a guide. Then use a very sharp knife to make the cut. Best regards, C2CSAFETY best sourse for Pelican cases.

It'd sure easily cut the foam board. I got this for carving fake pumpkins which are pretty much just foam.

I think so because the material is foam and looks like it could be cut. It has a pattern on it but if maintenance of the pattern is not as important as the size, I think you could cut it

I would guess the foam would maintain its functionality, but it would be hard to get that perfect factory edge. May end up fraying around the uneven edges.

I use an electric carving knife to trim down foam mattress toppers. Foam cuts like butter, you must be careful as it's so easy to cut too much off, plus make sure what ever is underneath while cutting doesn't get sliced into. :)

Hi Colleen, I have no experience in cutting this brand of memory foam but I have trimmed other brands successfully to fit various mattresses. Always use a very sharp electric knife. Works great. Hope this will help.

I would say yes But I can't open the link to the tool. This product is what I've always called "Styrofoam", it's not "foam". I bought it by mistake because I thought it was Foam.

I've left good indents into the foam. Its pretty thin and if you want it to last for a long time this might work. I would suggest glue two layers together and carve into both. I use it to make cosplay armor and you can easily use a ball-point pen to dig into the foam
