Great idea for cutting foam!

65Buick - Just wait until November when you take that EZE home to carve the Thanksgiving turkey. You'll wish you had stayed with the electric knife. LOL

I wonder if the two knife cutter does soft foam easier?

With my cutter on soft foam sometimes I have to let the cutter sit there a few seconds before it gets going. Also I have found if you start cutting at the edge of the foam, where the foam makes a 90* angle it starts easier. Perhaps if you cut a small slit before you start cutting the cutter will work better.

"like say I pad the backrest with soft foam, and I want to trim it to the top rail. Will it do the same thing?"

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. Are you trying to trim the foam while it is attached to the piece? I've never tried this method. I think for best results the foam needs to be on a flat table.

I've never compared the one-blade and two-blade cutters side-by-side, but I can say that I have no trouble cutting soft foam with my two-blade Bosch.

Have you considered the Bosch oscillating tool (corded) ?  Come on Doc -

Compared to my one blade cutter the Bosch is quieter, smoother (less vibration), faster and yes it cuts soft foam as soon as it touches it.

Oh OK. I'm with you now. Mine isn't a Bosch brand, but I do use one for shaving staples.

KodyD-
Yes, in certain situations I have attached foam to the backrest, then cut it. Especially if curved. I suppose I could do it another way, just seemed easiest.

This can probably be done with an electric knife but I don't think with a EZE. I'm pretty sure the base of the EZE needs to be on a flat surface to work right. I like to lay the foam inside the cavity and mark it with a Sharpie. Then lay the foam on the table and cut with the foam cutter. If its a big piece like a sofa I'll cut it big and mark it a second time to fine tune it. Sometimes it takes a couple of try's to get it just right.

Cutting foam that is on the furniture with the base plate removed from the Bosch foam cutter.

That young fellow does a really nice job.  I've watched his videos many times, - they are up in Canada - doesn't look like a very big shop but a lot of action there

I'm more interested in his glue gun.

[65Buick]

Yes, that's where I learned of that technique.

[SteveA]

I don't think that is a glue gun - it looks like a gravity feed finish gun.  It's going to clog - adhesive guns don't mix internally -
