OSBORNE U-Cut Foam Cutter & Slicer #410

Quality made professional upholstery tools by C.S. Osborne in the USA since 1826.

Osborne No. 410

The Osborne U-Cut No. 410 is a fast and flexible tool for horizontal straight or wedge cutting of polyurethane foam foams.

Features:

• Provides a straight consistent cut on foam sheets.
• The U-Cut is great for proto-typing and small furniture jobs.
• The desired cutting thickness is quickly obtained by means of an adjustable screw setting.
• The U-Cut will cut from a minimum thickness of 6mm to a maximum thickness of 230mm.
• Material up to 910mm in width and unlimited length can be processed.
• Scrap can be glued, salvage and re-cut.

Instructions/Tips:

• Place U-Cut on a flat surface with the slab of material to be cut.
• The operator then merely pushes and pulls the U-Cut in a saw-like action making wedges, curves, arcs and other special shapes.
• Best results are obtained by working on a smooth surface.
• Hold the material in place with a piece of plywood, either by hand or with a weight. Supply enough pressure to prevent the foam from moving, but not enought to compress it so it will expand again after cutting. If a sheet of plywood is not used, the cut is unlikely to be uneven.
• When starting the cut it will be easier to angle into one corner first, rather than trying to start the sut across the whole face.
