Question

Hi all, I'm tring to find something that can cut/slice through styrofoam. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

just about anything with a sharp edge

Answer 2

I don't know how much you have to cut, but I've heard that an electric kitchen knife works real well.

Answer 3

My Leatherman that has a knife that I always keep sharp does styrofoam just fine

Answer 4

The easiest is to use a saber saw with a knife blade or a blade with fine teeth, use this method for curved pieces.

For straight cuts use a utility knife and if it is a thick piece you can snap it off after you make cuts on both sides.

Answer 5

in the past i've always used a motorized serrated knife - like a turkey carving knife you'd use at thanksgiving. not sure if they even still make those anymore, but it works really well for me. to smooth edges after cutting, use sandpaper.

Answer 6

the simplest way without making a mess is to heat a piece of cloths hanger with a blow torch, use it like a knife. cuts clean no mess
