Also, how fast can this cut? I need to know in furlongs per fortnight.
My older 10 inch chef's knife works great on all sorts of insulation board, including 2 inch XPS, and fiberglass batts too.
If I need curved cuts, I'm either getting out a snap blade razor knife, setting up the nichrome hot wire bow, or making a huge mess with a rasp.
Have read online to try the smallest cheapest disposable razor knife, so I am going to try that next. Have previously used much more heavy duty blades.
'Unfocused' has the right idea with an old 10" chef's knife. I also have one that I use for insulation and sharpen coarsely every few passes.
'BeautifulVest1304' may be on to something with the putty knife. In a pinch, I've been able to score foam with friction alone, by running it along the edge of a table or outside corner on a wall. Not practical for large pieces, but it brings us back to the concept of heat.
A narrow bladed pocket knife, like a French Laguiole, works well. Maybe a cheese knife?
If you're uncapping, just buy a serrated uncapping knife, either heated or unheated.
My brother is a beekeeper. He doesn't use heated knives for anything. He says he just doesn't need them.
These cut through foam like 'butta' with that 5"+ blade?
