looks an awful lot like my electric turkey carving knife and cheese grater... (which is what I've been using to shape foam throughout my entire career.) BUT, I gotta give props to Sailrite. I learned a TON from watching their videos when I was starting out, (and probably learned about the turkey knife from one of them). They make some fantastic products too.

YOU CAN USE A KITCHEN CHEESE GRATER WITH THAT HOLES STYLE...SAME EFFECT.

I have used an ordinary electric carving knife to shape Foam, when I rebuild/replace the seat covers on motorcycles if the foam its self has disintegrated or been damaged. It works great, and I can continue to use it to carve the Thanksgiving turkey .. I learned about using an electric turkey carving knife if that’s what you wanna call it from a guy that actually owns an upholsterer shop.. I also saw a small article in one of the motorcycle magazines I had subscriptions to back in the 80s and 90s. They showed how to get a piece of foam, and carve it into the shape required with an Ordinary kitchen, electric carving knife

Yes, that is a very good approach for lower density foams. When you get into high density foam the electric knife does struggle and ultimately you will burn up the motor in it. But for small projects or one-offs absolutely!

Thank You for the wonderful information 😊

Is there a foam shaper attachment for the angle grinder?

Good video, I am looking to something like this for a back cushion. However there is just one very important thing missing in this video which frankly is not acceptable. Its the sail rite intro tune. Video just isnt the same without it

How do you recommend cutting foam that’s in a firearm case?

We have not tested it, but as long as it is an upholstery foam, we don't see why not!

Always hold the blade plate BEHIND the blade. Make sure the cutting edge points away from your hand.

@SailriteWorkbench

Yes, you're right! Because this is a powered tool we recommend to use it safely by ensuring the blade is always pointing away from you and to ensure safe hand placement.

Is the blade plate self made? I did not see it on your website for purchase.

Shoulda used a hot wire over templates at each end - far less messy and more accurate.

Can you use a hot wire over all the surface, not just ends ,after cutting away major portion?

Would

Idk why I’m watching this it just showed up 💀💀💀

I feel like the handle should be hollow to allow for a vacuum.

it's how most of the industry does it i'm not sure what videos you're looking at. [auto industry especially does it this way] some of us use a cheese grater and electric knife but otherwise this is it. [same thing lower budget]

@@fuzzjunkyI don’t remember the terms but basically there’s a wire from toaster or hair dryer that can handle heating up when electricity is applied. Connect the wire to a proper electric source and it cuts thru the foam like butter without all the shavings and foam dust You can do any sort of intricate shape There’s other methods also but that’s the one I’d go with
