Cutting foam core board requires precision and the right tools to achieve clean, accurate cuts. The best way to cut foam core board involves using a sharp blade and a straight edge or a T-square for guidance. A utility knife or a sharp craft knife can be used for smaller cuts, while a power tool like a jigsaw or a circular saw can be used for larger cuts or intricate shapes.
Using a sharp blade is essential for a clean cut. A dull blade will tear the foam core board, resulting in rough and uneven edges. A straight edge or a T-square provides a guide for the blade, ensuring a straight cut. For more intricate cuts, a template or a pattern can be used to trace the desired shape onto the foam core board before cutting.
