Trimming OC Foam
What seems to be the best way to trim OC foam? I've been using hand saws and my guys are developing massive forearms and shoulder muscles. I tried the dewalt sawz-all with a modified blade, the blade keeps braking at the connecting point. I tried the cheap inline sander from Harbor Freight and it doesn't work very well and it's hard to handle. I'm now back to hand saws. Is there a better method out there? I'm trying to keep the clean-up easy for my guys and I think the scarfer/daShaver would make a serious mess. What seems to work best for you guys?
Thanks for all of your help.

You want a hutchins hustler model 2000 inline sander to connect your blade to. It won't bog down like the cheap sanders. http://www.hutchinsmfg.com/content/2000.html
Of course it likes clean, DRY air! It is worth the money.

I would not wast my time with any saw. I purchased the first one from Demilec, hated it, complained, and they sold me a heavier one. It woorked better, but still we could not get the production or the finish product to look like any ictures we had seen, and it was time consumiing.

Finally tried Thermodynamics, air/wire brush, and fell in love. (806-892-3993) Yes it makes a terible mess, but since when has this business been considered clean? It does a wonderful job with litterally no down time. Heard about an electric one, that we thought we might use for small jobs, and touch ups, and purchased it from J calman industries. Cannot reccommend it. We could not keep it going.

You will pay over $1,000.00 for the air brush, but your wasting money on anything else. Be sure you have enough cfm's for it. It takes 20 cfm, and most of these rigs are short on that to begin with.

Lane,
My guys used your saw yesterday and LOVED it! The setup you designed worked like a champ. You guys can keep the air hog, mess making, and foam feathers created by those air planers/trimmers. I'll take this over all of those. Yea we are in a messy business, I just do like adding triple the mess by shaving foam all of the place! This saw is heavy duty electric and I don't think it will be quiting on me anytime soon. Best purchase I've made in my quest to find a easier/cleaner way to trim OC foam. My crew consider the inventor, Lane a hero. Great time and labor saver.
Thanks again Lane!
