Cutting Tools

We suggest using any of the following to cut your foam:
  • Dremel tool: use a straight grout bit with knurled teeth; to smooth contours, select a ½" or ¼" sanding drum
  • Rotary cutter or router: set to desired depth
  • X-Acto Knife: Model # X7747 is for foam cutting and can be purchased online or at art supply stores
  • Craftsman Rotozip

Additional Cutting Method

The oven method is an easy way to outline the shapes of tools. Only use this method on tools without resin or rubberized parts.

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees
  • Mark tool placement on foam
  • Place tools on a standard cookie sheet and heat for 30 minutes
  • Remove hot tools one at a time and place on pre-marked foam
  • Tools will melt into foam about ¼" and create a detailed shape
  • Cut shapes with an X-Acto knife
  • You can also add finger holes to help get tools in and out with ease
