I'm looking for a scroll band saw. I work with dense foam for gun and demo cases for custom products. I outline or buy a paper outline and under cut about 5% smaller so everything fits snug. I bought some 6" thick dense foam 4'x8' sheets and it is to big for my scroll saw. This thicker foam allows me fit more accessories without tearing the foam. Laser CNC is best for this but I don't have $5k for the 7watt gas laser. Plus, I wouldn't know how to use the software. $1,500 is still a lot to only find out if it can cut the foam.
But, if it does cut this stuff without gumming up. $1,500 is not so bad. I'd be able to make real nice laser like cuts with minimal marks. Is anyone in southern California? I'd like to bring a sample of the foam to test it.
