looks an awful lot like my electric turkey carving knife and cheese grater... (which is what I've been using to shape foam throughout my entire career.)
BUT, I gotta give props to Sailrite. I learned a TON from watching their videos when I was starting out, (and probably learned about the turkey knife from one of them). They make some fantastic products too.

That was a great video on cutting & shaping foam

I have used an ordinary electric carving knife to shape Foam, when I rebuild/replace the seat covers on motorcycles if the foam its self has disintegrated or been damaged. It works great, and I can continue to use it to carve the Thanksgiving turkey ..
I learned about using an electric turkey carving knife if that’s what you wanna call it from a guy that actually owns an upholsterer shop..
I also saw a small article in one of the motorcycle magazines I had subscriptions to back in the 80s and 90s. They showed how to get a piece of foam, and carve it into the shape required with an Ordinary kitchen, electric carving knife

Is there a foam shaper attachment for the angle grinder?

[SailingAlbinBallad]

Good video, I am looking to something like this for a back cushion. However there is just one very important thing missing in this video which frankly is not acceptable. Its the sail rite intro tune. Video just isnt the same without it

How do you recommend cutting foam that’s in a firearm case?

[robertschulke]

Always hold the blade plate BEHIND the blade. Make sure the cutting edge points away from your hand.

Shoulda used a hot wire over templates at each end - far less messy and more accurate.

Idk why I’m watching this it just showed up 💀💀💀

[juanacevedo]

I feel like the handle should be hollow to allow for a vacuum.

[landonjones]

Forget the foam shaping. She is unbelievably beautiful.

[davidramey]

This is foolishly messy and not needed at all
There’s other ways to do this and thousands of videos showing how
