Would this be a suitable way to cut 3/16 inch foam board for photo mounting?

It would probably cut foam board without a problem, but the 3/16 measurement might be difficult to manage since the paper cutter has a half inch grid.

I don't think it would cut very well. It has a magnetic strip on the inside that is glued on so you would have to cut through that. The other material is a very hard plastic that might splinter

don't see why not. Perhaps using a box cutter vs. scissors to cut. It would be good to layer on top of regular foam to add cushioning. Great idea ! :)

I can't imagine it wouldn't - I cut 3 mil chipboard without much problem. You might want to take a look though at their support forum on knkusa.com and ask there to be sure.

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

Not sure. It would depend how thick the board you mounted your work on. There is some room. I 'm traveling now so I don't have access to it now to give a better answer.

Hmmm. Sure, if you have the right tools! It is not one flat surface; it has a "lip" which is great for hanging but probably not great for cutting.

I don't think it would work. The tool does not have a sharp blade for cutting paper or cardboard. The hot knife melts through foam, therefore "cutting" it. Paper does not melt. The hot knife gets really hot, and would melt the core that is sandwiched between the poster board, but wouldn't melt the poster board on the outside. It might even catch the paper on fire. The hot knife is a wonderful tool for cutting styrofoam and I hope to try it out on corrugated plastic (Coroplast), because I think that would work. Maybe you could use Coroplast instead of foam core!

I would say yes although the cut will depend on how neat you are and how neat you want it to be. My past experience with "foam" products has been to use an electric knife. The serrated blades seem to work better. Another suggestion I would make; snap a chalk line or use some other means to draw a straight line and the cut should be pretty "true". Good luck!

Perhaps. You would have to use some kind of saw to do so. But it's not too thick to cut.

Sure. As long as its a 2". I've seen it done before...pretty standard stuff. Hope this helps.

Yes it can. As an interior designer who also makes the items I sell, I have much experience in cutting foam. The easiest way to cut foam is using an electric knife. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't use it for that purpose. It is not designed for that kind of delicate work and would not produce the kind of cut you would want on a picture frame. If you are making a lot of picture frames you should invest in a nice miter saw and put a really fine Diablo blade on it. You can get one for not much more than this bare tool DEWALT costs. I hope this helps Ana and best of luck with your projects.

No. The blade is exposed only about 1/8". It cuts a great circle on the foam board, just not all the way through.

That will work. I've used mine to cut Matt board so 70lb paper will be no problem!

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.

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
