shaping / cutting PU foam slab

[nevilleh]

Hi guys.

Just wondering what everybody else uses to cut PU foam slab. I am cutting 8 foot lengths for reinforcement. They are approx 6" wide x 4" tall with mitred corners.

I use a bandsaw . Cuts like butter. I am cutting alot of these.

Just wondering if this was the normal way of cutting foam slab.?

Thanks in advance. Neville.

i use whatever is closest,,hehe,, if a bandsaw works good for you,, i'd stay with it,,,, ive used everything from a handsaw to a sawz-all, and even a big ole knife once,,hehe ;) ( have no idea why that was close by haha)

I've used a makeshift wooden setup with a mains transformer and a piece of metal wire with high electrical resistance, like nickel. A spring on one side keeps the wire taut when it get hot and stretches.
Slower than a bandsaw but not so messy.
