push-style cutter for cutting free-form shapes in sandwich panels up to 5 mm thick, plastic housing, on-board blade storage compartment
for free-form cutting
FoamWerks cutting tools were developed to provide a way for precisely reworking sandwich panels with paper cover layers like KAPA BOARDS or FOAM BOARDS. The various tools make it possible to make exact 90° or 45° cuts, to cut circles up to 150 mm in diameter or to punch out holes from 4.5 to 19 mm in diameter. In the realm of architectural model making, the RABBET CUTTER is particularly useful because you can cut a sandwich panel in such a way that the paper cover layer remains uncut on one side. In addition, the V-GROOVE CUTTER is great for this work as well because it can cut a series of “V” shaped grooves in order to shape the board into a curve. All these tools are distinguished by their easy handling and precise cuts and are also suitable for working on STYROPOR and POLYSTYRENE RIGID FOAM BOARDS.
FoamWerks is a product line from the American company Logan, which, especially in the realm of professional tools for passepartout production, is a world market leader. Logan passepartout tools can be found under PASSEPARTOUT CUTTER.
The FoamWerks freestyle cutter is designed for cutting free, irregular shapes out of sandwich panels, styropor or rigid foam boards. This makes it particularly useful in architectural model making work as in, for example, making model base plates with many height levels. The cutter is pushed for cutting, which makes it easy to guide the blade along pre-drawn lines. When not in use, one side of the blade holder can be rotated down to cover and protect the blade. The right replacement blades, Type WB, can be found under FOAMWERKS REPLACEMENT BLADES.
You should always use a scrap piece of foam board underneath the piece you are cutting. The cutting mats made out of PVC that we usually strongly recommend as cutting underlays are too hard and too dense for use with the sensitive blades in FoamWerks tools.
