At art school I cut some 5inch soft foam (from an old sofa) into the shape of a skull and crossbones 4inch sq to use an a printing stamp. I used the workshops band saw ,that had a rip cut wood blade, after I was done the technician who didn't spot me was surprised the maching didn't suck the foam into it, looking back I now count my fingers and blessing simultaneously. I still have that piece of foam.

With the type of foam you are showing, I agree with this video - especially for the use case you show where you need a nice straight line. With that "greasy" softer pink foam at 4-5 inches thick, no way - a hacksaw blade doesn't work much at all - an Electric Bread Knife is the only way to cut that (unless a hot wire station is set up, or maybe if you have a bandsaw but, really, who would use a bandsaw).

You nailed it from the outset when you spoke of the KZfaq phenomenon of people with zero skill or actual real-life experience repeating with authoritative bluster complete crap they've watched from someone else with zero skill or actual real-life experience who themselves watched it from.....etc. Anyway, I've got some foam to cut for my newly built garden furniture and I can't see how your method could fail to work. I'm going to adopt method #738 as advised. Top notch video and advice from someone who knows their onions!

What about lighter density foams. Also they make open bladed handles.

Hello Boo, Lighter density foams are more delicate and do take more care in cutting. I tried the simple handles for hack saw blades, but just went to the basic blade after a while. Please keep liking and watching!
