Adding finger access holes would be a great addition.
I have emailed Milwaukee before asking if they'd consider putting the outlines of all of their tools on the website for exactly this idea but they never got back to me.

As usual, the videos are super helpful - and I love the music!

I've been looking for a good source for this - thanks for the info/link! :)

Nice! How thick can the foam be? I'm thinking it would be nice to be able to create custom carrying cases for things like firearms & optics that require thicker foam than a tool box liner.

Now I am thinking of just using multiple layers of cardboard to create the poor man's version. Thanks for the scanning tutorial!

Thank you Dave, I've been racking my head trying make my templates. You've just shown me where I made the mistakes. I don't the same laser cutter as you, mine is only 20W, can you give me an idea as to what settings I would need to make?

Instead of drawing around the tool you can use a scanner if you have one

Hi, I have a sample double pasted eva in 2 colour but the packing of tools is up and down, not in the same level . How will it get CUTTED ?

[ralphpitcher]

May I ask what version of CorelDraw you used in the demo? Btw great video!

[joeytriassi]

Hi. i would like to know can i cut only with a picture.My client wants a quote for his big tool box with a lot of tools and he is far from me, or should i go see him and trace all the tools for a good fit before i do the job if he acceptes my price.

Hi Dave, Another great video! Can you share the item numbers of the foam that was used for this?

[johncarr]

Do you have template files for sockets and other tools?

[muppetarms]

Hi Dave
Do you know if the foam gives off any fumes? I will be looking to do this with a diode laser.

[johnnyc.]

So just curious, is cutting this foam with a laser creating toxic fumes?

Awesome Dave. Why Z-offset = - 0, 1" ?
