The Bosch foam rubber cutter is heavy-duty, fast, and is designed for production-cutting of various densities such as foam rubber, flexible plastic foams, and most types of carpeting. The foam cutter uses a twin-blade counter-reciprocating action to ensure precise cutting, plus low vibration and noise. It has a 3.2 amp rating and stroke rate of 3,200 strokes per minute. The power switch is a large, comfortable paddle switch. The necessary footplate, guides and blades are sold separately, allowing for the purchase of only the items needed for the tasks at hand.
