    Your title caught my eye as I was going to watch, a second time, the video on how to use an electric knife to cut foam for kitchen chairs. After watching your video I realized how much more control a person would have using the hacksaw blade. It made me more comfortable and less stressful about my project. Thank you for sharing this video.

    You nailed it from the outset when you spoke of the UA-cam 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!

    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).

    Years ago I was with a small company building small R&D electronics and I happened to be next to the shipping department and they used stiff packing foam. The shipping guy used a Jigsaw for all the foam. Noisy! I used to call it *"Jigsaw Torture"* 😂

    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.

    I know I got this from you in another video. Keep the bread knife in the kitchen as I took a hacksaw blade, 7 inch length of metal electrical conduit, drilled one hole, welded a nut and made little handle on a 1" bolt. Heater hose cushion and flattened bolt end to change blades. Used it 2 days ago and don't get, it's flexible for sculpting. Cost $0.
