I saw on one of Allen Keller's videos a guy was using a Black& Decker battery operated saw to cut his foam. So of course I happenedto see one on clearance at Lowes and had to try it. I works very well. then also an electric carving knife does a nice job too, just hide it from the wife when u do.

Eric you can get them at most craft and hobby shops. They also have a modedl with headlight and that is what I use plus it has 3 seperate lens that you can bring down induvidyalyfor a total of 4 different power levels for really close of critical work and for rivet counters, which I'm not one of. I am just blind as hell up close
