With the type of foam you are showing, I agree with this video - especially for the use case you show where you need a nice straight line. With that "greasy" softer pink foam at 4-5 inches thick, no way - a hacksaw blade doesn't work much at all - an Electric Bread Knife is the only way to cut that (unless a hot wire station is set up, or maybe if you have a bandsaw but, really, who would use a bandsaw).

I don’t cut a lot of foam but I’ve used a 12” carving knife before and it worked well and fast.

I like hacksaw blades for precision, the electric knife is great if you make a fence, trigger lock, melamine straight and sqaure surface and take your time. You cannuse t track/miter slots to setup miter gauges with thicker form or make H molds in the T tracks for cutting sound insulation boards. A lot of neat stuff espically when doing panels for car audio to make it look real nice. Flexible matieral s are more a pain but firmer thicker foamd are fun to do. Btw I specialize mostly in one of one patio furniture so I have to make cushions all the time and customers love triangle display cushions.

Hello from Croatia.I love to see your content cause i do upholstery on everything that has fabric on it,so furniture,cars,bikes,boats andything, and i finde out that hot wire is relly good to cut any tipe of foam,and to have nice clean cuts,even curves and all that is really clean cut.But not hot wire guns and that but realy table with hot wire it is really cheap to get. I cut foam with that and i am really happy with it.Upholstery is the best clean and nice job. Once again I really love your content, lot of love from Croatia

I like to use those disposable utility knives that have the blades which snap off about 1/4 inch at a time. I extend it out to max length and use gentle sawing motion to get through foam up to 2 inches. The blade is so thin and sharp, it makes nearly invisible cuts.
