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.
Omg I'm so glad I found this video!!!! I was just looking into purchasing a bread cutter to cut my foam with! I am building a custom bed for my 6yr old daughter, and I can't find a decent priced rounded foam mattress. This was a Godsend, those blades cost less than $3 in some places! Thank you for this demo!
I thought my Friend was Joking when He said "Just grab a Hack Saw blade and cut it Ese', Don't be complicating sh*t It's just foam for a Couch Cushion". You Proved Him right, Thanks a Million.
I used an electric knife for years until I bought my Bosch foam saw. Fast and super clean edges. This hacksaw blade is ok if you can't afford the Bosch ($300+) and time isn't a problem. Nice video though. Always enjoy. I've been retired from my business for several years. Was tons of fun!!
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).
Hello Private, I even use a hack saw blade for every foam, even the really squishy aircraft and memory foam. I am glad you have success with an electric bread knife. Please keep liking and watching!
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!
I need to cut a foam insert for a small case to house some special tools. Saw a bunch of videos with complicated methods. Glad I found your channel! Quick, simple, economical, easy to maneuver...everything I need. As the saying goes..."I ain't building a watch!" Many thanks to you!👍👍👍😄
Thanks for the tip sir. I am currently working on a new chair seat for a chair I just refinished. It has odd curves to get around. I will definitely use your method.
This makes me feel good! I had a big piece of foam I wanted to break up to throw out in garbage bags and I tried a hacksaw blade and found it worked great!
I like hacksaw blades for precision, the electric knife is great if you make a fence, trigger lock, melamine straight and sqaure surface and take your time. You cannuse t track/miter slots to setup miter gauges with thicker form or make H molds in the T tracks for cutting sound insulation boards. A lot of neat stuff espically when doing panels for car audio to make it look real nice. Flexible matieral s are more a pain but firmer thicker foamd are fun to do. Btw I specialize mostly in one of one patio furniture so I have to make cushions all the time and customers love triangle display cushions.
I'ma try this! Been looking for a clean way to cut some 1 inch sound proof foam so I'm praying this works. I got an extra tile so I'ma use it as a test. Thank you so much
For those of us going for smaller, more surgical cutouts, I've found that a well sharpened knife is superior to a hacksaw. (Hacksaw is still perfect for cutting lines that cut all the way across.)
Sharing techniques, tips and tricks is such a wonderful thing. I truly appreciate you and your channel and for making the world a better place. Subscribed!! 👍
Old school: the reason it's old school is because it works. Otherwise you'd never see it effectively used. Good ol' elbow grease with a Mark 5 eyeball. Thanks Rudy.
Genius. I need to cut a foam mattress up to remove it and I've been struggling to work out what to use. Think I'll get a handle made on my 3D printer to make it official!
Hello Irregular, Thank you so much for saying so! I really appreciate it. For destruction, Maybe a saws'all would be faster. Hehe. Please keep liking and watching! Please keep liking and watching!
So glad I found this video , yes i was told use a kitchen Knife it did not go well. When searching I was luckily to come across your video. YES I AM CONVINCED AND GRATEFULL .
I like to use those disposable utility knives that have the blades which snap off about 1/4 inch at a time. I extend it out to max length and use gentle sawing motion to get through foam up to 2 inches. The blade is so thin and sharp, it makes nearly invisible cuts.
What about on rebond foam? A lot of gym equipment pieces use rebond with another softer foam over it. I had heard of the bread knife but this is a much better option! Thanks!
Hey Old School, I need to cut some 2-1/2" circles in a piece of 3" foam Ill be setting into a cardboard box so I can transport glass bottles filled with liquid in an upright position w/o them clanking around. How can I cut perfect circles w/o tearing the foam? Thanks!
Hello Master, I think if you can draw out triangles instead of circles would be a lot easier and faster. 3" medium density will cut easily. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Julie, You are so welcome! I do this sometimes. It can be done with a lot of patience. Slowly check your cuts and recheck. just like slicing bread, but horizontally. Please keep liking and watching!
Can ya cut latex foam this way ? I’m totally convinced ! Thank you ! I want to make a latex foam topper for my recliner. It just needs a little bit of cushion to make it better. Hope it works with latex . 😊
Hello Little, You are so welcome! I do not see why it wouldn't work on latex foam. It will cost almost nothing to find out right? Please keep liking and watching!
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.
It's nice to learn a new method, but I won't give up on a bread slicer. Compound curves can be cut with good control with it. I sometimes use an angle grinder for smoothing.
I will definitely sub and 👍🏼 for an honest youtuber. PS i did use bread knife but hacksaw blade would be so much better. 20 PI wouldn't leave messy knife cuts. 😊
Hello Unknown, Thank you so much! I do have hundreds of stories from my 43 years of experience. I believe I can fill the need for future topics! Please keep liking and watching!
Hello from Croatia.I love to see your content cause i do upholstery on everything that has fabric on it,so furniture,cars,bikes,boats andything, and i finde out that hot wire is relly good to cut any tipe of foam,and to have nice clean cuts,even curves and all that is really clean cut.But not hot wire guns and that but realy table with hot wire it is really cheap to get. I cut foam with that and i am really happy with it.Upholstery is the best clean and nice job. Once again I really love your content, lot of love from Croatia
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Rudy. I always love your videos, and I always learn something from you. Maybe I missed it, but what TPI (teeth per inch) number blade do you use for the foam. Thanks again!
Hello Mark, You are so welcome! I hope my videos can help you somehow. I don't know the TPI as I never pay attention. I just grab the nearest hacksaw blade. Not rocket science. Just do it. Please keep liking and watching!
Im feeling salty today. Its called an electric carving knife. Also you have an extremely firm foam. There is nothing wrong with using a carving knife. There are 30 second videos of the "bread cutter" doing the job. Like i said, im salty this evening. My apologies.
Hello Greg, A little pepper to go with the salt always make it better! Like I say, there are always more than one way to get things done. Please keep liking and watching!
Ok here is a request. Can you do a video about the different foams used for different applications. Layering different densities of foam. Marine vs automotive vs residential vs commercial applications.
Hello Alvarez, I am a working shop serving my customers daily. The videos I make are of actual customer projects. I don't have a spare minute during the day as I am so busy. Maybe someday I will have that customer whom I can make that video. Thank you for the request! Please keep liking and watching!
Freaking awesome. I was making a custom instrument case (a small ukelele like instrument) and used as tablesaw to cut 3in foam. Nice to know I didn't need that, oh well. Now I know for the next one.
I can't believe all of the videos that say use a bread knife! This is brilliant! Kudos! Almost forgot, what number blade do you recommend for cutting 1 inch foam?
Hello Bad, Thank you so much for saying so. To tell the truth, I don't think it really matters as this is not rocket science. I just grab any hack saw blade within reach regardless of the teeth count. I never pay any attention. Any blade will do the same result. Please keep liking and watching!
Excellent, thanks very much. Hacksaw blades come in, different 'Teeth per inch' I guess this job requires a higher tooth per inch, for a smooth lower resistance ?
Hello Mr, You are so welcome! Really tooth count does not matter. All hack saw blades have the same result. It's not rocket science. I just grab the closest hack saw blade I can find at the time. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Xx, I cut 1" foam, low medium and high density all the time with no problem. Sometimes with memory foam as an example, it can be cut in combination of hack saw blade and scissors. Like I always say, it's not rocket science. Hehe Please keep liking and watching!
I’m convinced. My trade was wallpaper, it’s somewhat similar to upholstery. We would get guys that would use those stupid Olfa Knife, instead of a single edge razor blade. When they finished hanging a room a few days the seams would split open because they pressed so hard with that Olga blade, but when you use a razor blade you can feel how much pressure your putting on the wallpaper.
God bless you l have been watching tons of videos and doing so much research on what to use to cut high density foam and it was either not cost effective for me or l was misinformed l was just about to settle for the electric knife cutter which costs more than the hacksaw blade before your video fell in my lap. Thank you so much 😊

I like hacksaw blades for precision, the electric knife is great if you make a fence, trigger lock, melamine straight and sqaure surface and take your time. You cannuse t track/miter slots to setup miter gauges with thicker form or make H molds in the T tracks for cutting sound insulation boards. A lot of neat stuff espically when doing panels for car audio to make it look real nice. Flexible matieral s are more a pain but firmer thicker foamd are fun to do. Btw I specialize mostly in one of one patio furniture so I have to make cushions all the time and customers love triangle display cushions.

For those of us going for smaller, more surgical cutouts, I've found that a well sharpened knife is superior to a hacksaw. (Hacksaw is still perfect for cutting lines that cut all the way across.)
Hello Jay, yep. Cut away! Please keep liking and watching!
Great Idea! I'm gonna use a jigsaw lol too lazy to do it my hand thousands of times.
Hello Engineer, A jigsaw is much heavier and cumbersome, than a hacksaw blade, but go for it! Please keep liking and watching!
This is a great idea for curves and any work on the go. When electricity is available, I like to use a bandsaw for the long straight stuff.

I like to use those disposable utility knives that have the blades which snap off about 1/4 inch at a time. I extend it out to max length and use gentle sawing motion to get through foam up to 2 inches. The blade is so thin and sharp, it makes nearly invisible cuts.

Hey Old School, I need to cut some 2-1/2" circles in a piece of 3" foam Ill be setting into a cardboard box so I can transport glass bottles filled with liquid in an upright position w/o them clanking around. How can I cut perfect circles w/o tearing the foam? Thanks!

Hi Rudolph, How would you cut the foam in half horizontally? Keeping the same depth and length of cushion but making it half as thick? Thank you!

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.

It's nice to learn a new method, but I won't give up on a bread slicer. Compound curves can be cut with good control with it.
I sometimes use an angle grinder for smoothing.

Hello from Croatia.I love to see your content cause i do upholstery on everything that has fabric on it,so furniture,cars,bikes,boats andything, and i finde out that hot wire is relly good to cut any tipe of foam,and to have nice clean cuts,even curves and all that is really clean cut.But not hot wire guns and that but realy table with hot wire it is really cheap to get. I cut foam with that and i am really happy with it.Upholstery is the best clean and nice job. Once again I really love your content, lot of love from Croatia

Almost forgot, what number blade do you recommend for cutting 1 inch foam?
Hello Bad, Thank you so much for saying so. To tell the truth, I don't think it really matters as this is not rocket science. I just grab any hack saw blade within reach regardless of the teeth count. I never pay any attention. Any blade will do the same result. Please keep liking and watching!
Excellent, thanks very much. Hacksaw blades come in, different 'Teeth per inch' I guess this job requires a higher tooth per inch, for a smooth lower resistance ?

Now how do you cut 1” softer foam, and cutting inner and outer curves. Hacksaw blade don’t do anything
Hello Xx, I cut 1" foam, low medium and high density all the time with no problem. Sometimes with memory foam as an example, it can be cut in combination of hack saw blade and scissors. Like I always say, it's not rocket science. Hehe Please keep liking and watching!

Hello Stew, Right On! Right on. Please keep liking and watching!
I’m convinced. My trade was wallpaper, it’s somewhat similar to upholstery. We would get guys that would use those stupid Olfa Knife, instead of a single edge razor blade. When they finished hanging a room a few days the seams would split open because they pressed so hard with that Olga blade, but when you use a razor blade you can feel how much pressure your putting on the wallpaper.
Hello Richie, I can hear the voice of experience! I can see where they are similar. Please keep liking and watching!
God bless you l have been watching tons of videos and doing so much research on what to use to cut high density foam and it was either not cost effective for me or l was misinformed l was just about to settle for the electric knife cutter which costs more than the hacksaw blade before your video fell in my lap. Thank you so much 😊
