## Overview

The Straight Foamboard Cutter by Foamwerks is a lightweight, adjustable tool designed for precision cutting of foamboard materials. With a durable stainless steel blade and ergonomic handle, it offers both comfort and versatility for a variety of crafting projects.

## Description

Foamwerks Straight cutter is designed for use with foamwerks channel rail and features adjustable blade depth, quick change blade clip, magnetic blade slot, on-board blade storage and 5 blades. This trimmer is perfect to cut straight edges on any depth of foam board ranging from 1/8 in to 1/2 in. IMPORTANT: Always use a scrap piece of foam board underneath the piece you are cutting. This is to protect the tool and extend the life of the blades.

Review: The lines are so clean and crisp... how did I ever live without it? - This cutter (and its rail, which isn't strictly necessary, but highly recommended for ease of use) is fantastic. Already, I'm kicking myself for all the years I spent agonizing over bad cuts trying to use a little handheld craft knife and generic ruler because if I'd known about this cutter, I would have saved myself lots of time, effort, and material. I cut a lot of foam board/cork/paper/etc., and on the thicker materials especially, a good line can be difficult because not only does it need to be straight horizontally, but vertically; angle the blade at all and suddenly the edge is cut in a slope down the width of the material, which can be a big pain when you're trying to get well-fitted pieces to put together or lay inside a framework. The cutter works really nicely. You can swap the side the blades are on depending on the side/hand you need to use. Extra blades store inside the cutter itself. A simple dial adjusts the height of the blade for thicker/thinner materials. The blade pops in/out easy. It fits nicely in the hand. There's not much more I could want from a cutter, to be honest. If I had to pick out something I didn't love, it's that the cutter doesn't move especially fluidly on the rail. It does take a little bit of strength to pull is across, which is something that might improve with age or be a little smoother on another rail (I bought rail made by the same company to ensure it would fit on the lip and all that). Still, it's not like the bit of resistance is a lot or that it's a deal breaker for me; needing to use a little muscle for such clean, crisp lines is well worth it. In all my experiments with it, I did find that it wasn't always foolproof; a few times I managed not to cut through all the way and had to make another pass, and if you're not holding the rail steady, you can shift it mid cut, but overall, with a little care as to what I was doing, I've found the cuts to be incredible. It does work without the rail, as I mentioned, like, there's nothing stopping the blade from being pulled through material with just your hand alone, but the rail (which is made of metal) stays in place better than most simple rulers and ensures that as you're pulling the cutter, the line remains straight. In the past when I used just a blade and ruler, it was still possible for my hand to move and the blade deviate. I even have shaved off parts of the ruler (if it was plastic) trying to keep the blade flush against it for a good line. I'd personally invest in the rail alongside the cutter, especially since other tools can also be used with the rail, and the rail itself is a sturdy metal ruler with a bit of a lip that helps act as a guard for your fingers. My cutter is fairly new, so I'll update over time if I notice anything worth mentioning that would impact a reasonable period of durability and functionality for the money.
Review: Wasn't expecting much but works great! - I didn't have high expectations of this cutting 1/2" foam board that I bought from an art store but surprisingly, it cut it very cleanly. Putting the blade is a little tricky (I threw away the instructions of course) but was intuitive enough to figure out. It allows you to attach the blade on either side which is nice. There are 5-6 blades but I used a single blade to make about 10 cuts of 96" length so I would say the blades are decent. I followed instructions and used a piece of scrap foam board under the board I was cutting, adjusted the cutting depth to be a little deeper/lower than the thickness of the board, used the FoamWerks metal channel to cut it very clean and straight. I found it works better when you make an initial pass to make a thin "scoring" cut on the surface and then take a second pass with full pressure (all the way down) to then cut through the board quite easily, then a third pass to make sure the cut went through the paper on the other/bottom side of the board. Doing this, the board was completely and cleanly cut from one paper side to the other. I also found that I could cut as narrow a strip of foam board as 1/4" but then it's critical to make the first scoring cut on the surface. Overall, an excellent and reasonably priced tool to cut foam board, especially when used with the channel that lets you make a straight cut. Highly recommended!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the logan foamwerks straight cutter be used without the logan chanel rail? can it be used with just an aluminium ruler?**
A: Yes,,,,,,,,but,,,,,,,professional results achieved with rail.  Trust me.  I started out using a this with an aluminum ruler and the ruler was too light and keep moving, resulting in uneven cuts.  The rail has an anti-slip backing that prevents it from moving.  GET THE RAIL.

**Q: how thick of foam can it cut thru, I have some that is an inch thick?**
A: Mine cuts up to 1/2" thick foam board. Model WC-6001

**Q: I just got this or my crafts, however, I cant get it to work. Can someone give me directions?**
A: It very hard to try to explain how to use the Foamwerks cutter.  So I included a link to a youtube video. If this link does not work, you can always go to www.youtube.com, and in the search, box start typing the name of your cutter.  You will possibly see the following results, (foamwerks foamboard straight/bevel cutter). Click on the search results and select the straight cutter.  This is the link I mentioned.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcZQO1rZWSY Good luck

**Q: Can this be used to cut canvas rolls?**
A: Yes the WC6001 FoamWerks Straight Cutter would cut canvas. But it would work best hooked onto the WC3001 Channel Rail. And make sure they use scrap foam board only under what they are cutting. The WC6001 is really designed to cut foam board but being it uses a razor blade, it should work fine on canvas also.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great for any cuts 1" and under
*by M***K on February 19, 2015*

Works great for any cuts 1" and under. Easy handling, blade replacement. I used it on 1" foam board. Super sharp blades made it great for easy cuts. A must have for making straight line cuts!
