can the deep cut blade cut foam board?

I bought the machine almost a year ago. I tried cutting foam core and the entire housing unit for the blade broke. I had to fight with the manufacturer to get a replacement. When I did get a replacement my machine rattles and shakes everytime I cut regular paper. Also this is not for heavy use. After cutting a few sheets, the cuts start to dull. I tried adjusting the cut and speed settings as well as changing the blade. Nothing helps. This machine is not worth the money. There are better machines for the same price.

Not really, you're going to spend several blades for nothing, it just going to mark it, it doesn't work with thick materials. What you need is a laser cutting machine.

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.

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.

Yes. You can set the depth of the cut but the groove would have to go all the way across the board unless you're ok with a groove that does not end cleanly.

No. I bought a 3/8" blade to supplement the stock 1/4" blade and use the wider blade to rip with a straight board clamped to the table. It can cut thicker wood than my 10" table saw & can rip small stuff difficult to rip on a table saw.

Yu could but it really is designed to cut EPS foam without paper, but it would work

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.

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.

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

The foam is very dense and should cut easily with something very sharp. Perhaps an electric knife to avoid raggedy edges.

I suppose you could... The blade is a bit narrower that most other blades but it will certainly give a close cut :)

No, it will only cut material up to 9" wide. It's designed to cut a boards length, like when you get to the other wall in the room.

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.

What kind of foam board? Usually a serrated knife works well for that, or scoring and breaking. I think this would just melt it and make a mess. Sorry!

You do not need to start cutting at the edge of the foam. Remove the foot plate and start at the center. You may want to use a knife to make the starter hole to insert the Foam Cutter.

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

1/2" Foam is the limit for this particular cutter. It has 1/8" marks where you tighten the blade to adjust.
