Cutting foam...

[malconium]

Chuck,

I have used my table saw to cut rigid foam board and it works just fine. It does create white foam dust granuals however. You should be able to get nice clean cuts with a circular saw too. A saber saw should work fine too as long as you have a blade that is long enough.

(where does one buy one of those, anyway?). wondering about a saber saw, (jig saw), or maybe the ol' ginsu. maybe the roto-zip? don't know if the bit is long enough for 2" boards, though.

Well I got a good deal at the ol Walmart today. They only had one electric knife left and when I got to the register it was $3.00.

Hopefully it works better than the sisors I was using!
