Chuck you might try rigging your shell in a drill press running a file on the 
edge to make it sharp. Try different speeds as you feed it through the foam.

  Subject: [VFB] Cutting Open Cell Foam


  Folks: I have some open cell foam ( guess that is what it's called as it is 
not as  dense as craft foam, but less dense than Styrofoam, and IS pliable like 
the craft foam) that is about one inch thick. I was gonna try to cut some 
popper bodies with it, so I took a shell casing, hit it with a hammer. It cut 
the foam OK, but when I took the foam out of the shell casing and it 
uncompresses (if that is a word), it is tapered on one end.. Any suggestions 
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chuck
