I have gone through 3 full sheets of 1/2 foam core trying to get a 14" circle. My cuts always end up with ragged edges or the foam interior is shredded. I have used utility knifes w/brand new blades, Exacto knife w/ new blades. Even my sharpest kitchen knifes to no avail!!
What do you all use to make different shaped cakeboards. I can cut straight lines without a problem. But am pretty bored with sguares and rectangles. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA
Cut it out then sand it off with sand paper.
I use steak knives.
Thanks for your advice. After posting, I found another post from earlier today that had really good ideas for tools. I should have known I could find what I need from all you CCers.

Take my advise...visit www.misterart.com, look up the LION-EV-R-ROUND cutter, buy it plus the extension arm and you won't have any more problems. Also buy an extra box of blades....foam core dulls them fast...but you get 400 in a box and they're only a few dollars.
I hate cutting and covering boards. It's not worth the savings, time or headache. I now buy them form brboxshop.com. They are cheap, cheap, cheap there...drawback is the minimums.
I can't get brboxshop.com to open....is this the correct URL?
Jeff here's the link: http://www.brpboxshop.com/contact_brp.html
Jeff- That is totally cool!
I lucked out. I recently went to a garage sale that a man who had a catering business was holding and got a HUGE zippered container full of 4-6-8-9-10-12-14" rounds. I think I am good for a while.
