Would this work for cutting foam? Esp.. with a rope cutting tip?

NO, not designed for that function. A continuous heated solder Iron would work nicely.

Tool works well for cutting rope, line, and paracord made from nylon or Dacron. I have plastic funnels which It would cut easily, and then there are others it would not. Your material is the key.

Foam flexes, so it would be tricky cutting it to that dimension, but you could try.

Yes. You will need to adjust the depth of the blade of the straight cutter or use an exacto knife which is my preferred method. The cutting guide may not sit flat on 3/16 foam board. The angle cutter will also need to be adjusted for foam board.

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.

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

You can. However anything thicker like foam core is not possible. It really is a matter of wanting to manipulate what is being cut, and with this type of blade, it is not possible.

I would not recommend this tool for the job....not enough power. Blade has a back on it so the angle of the cut would be too shallow. Use a skillsaw or table saw or band saw with infeed/outfeed table or rollers.

If it's a foam that responds to heat, I believe it will. I've used it on several different types and it cuts great!

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 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.

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 say no because it works with a foaming action, and it,s probably cut with water that will evaporate

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.

Sure. And what works best IMHO is an electric carving knife. Cutting foam with those is the only reason I keep one around.

Sure, it would be easy. Try wrapping tape around the foam for clean line when you cut. Are you looking for grips though? This is more for road bike type bars.

It can be cut but the thicker the foam the harder it is because of the bulk. I use scissors when I can and a sharp razor blade or Stanley knife for the thicker stuff. I'm sure there's some sort of tool upholsterers use but I don't have one of those.
