cutting polyurethane foam

The material is thick and squishy, reminiscent of the feel of polyurethane foam. It is used in many things, such as cushions for padding seat, mattresses and to keep things warm hence the name down jacket or insulation. It’s really useful! But sometimes it becomes tricky and hard to cut this foam. Incorrect tools can result in jagged lines that are uneven. This may not be too clean on your project. But don’t worry! Some Tricks for Perfectly Cutting Polyurethane Foam

  1. Make sure you have the right tools for your job– A must! A serrated knife, with its saw-toothed edge or an electric carving-knife (like for turkeys) works very good. Check that your blade is sharp and not damaged. That way it does not tear the foam and you get a nice clean cut.

First, imagine the shape you want to cut and make a rough sketch of it on the foam using chalk or anything else. This is a useful aid to stop you drifting off line and allow for both straight or curved cutting. This also makes it much easier for you to spot where cuts can be made.

Expert tips for clean cuts in foam materials

Use a straight edge, such as a ruler or even scrap piece of wood to assist you with cutting the line squarely. Use it as a template to mark the foam; then cut with your cutting tool. It will allow you to ensure your cuts are level and precise.

If you have to do round cutting then no problem better is yet arrived. You can create a template. Just draw your shape on a piece of cardboard or heavy paper, cut the pattern out and then run both edges along the foam groove to allow you to follow it with your cutting tool. In this thought, you will get a curve more smooth and reliable.
