FoamWerks™ Foam Board Cutters are essential tools for every graphics studio and sign making workshop. These hand-held cutters are designed to cut several different kinds of graphic mounting boards as thick as ½”. When using the FoamWerks™ Foam Board Cutters, it is important to use a scrap piece of foam board underneath the piece you are cutting to protect the tool blade and extend the life of the cutter. You may also use a self-healing cutting mat if additional boards are not available. Below you will find the four different FoamWerks™ hand-held Foam Board Cutters available. Read through the descriptions to learn exactly why these tools are so essential in the graphic industry, and why no graphic studio should be without them.
