Cutting Foam with Tile Saw

[8]

I was cutting some bead board foam a few days ago with a knife and the edge was coming out really rough. My tile wet saw was sitting there and I tried it out (without water). It makes a perfect clean cut. So, today when I was cutting some more foam, I just stuck the tile diamond blade into a circular saw and used that. No mess. The beads seem to melt a little and seal the cut edge. The only problem is that it is a hand held saw. Next I'll see if the blade will fit in my table saw so I can use a fence and get a straighter cut.

It should fit an angle grinder too.
I use my 5 inch grinder for cutti g tiles

I have had very good success with my table saw and the regular wood cutting blade for EPS foam. I do not know if that is a fair comparison. The only problem I have is holding a 4' by 8' sheet steady. Otherwise it bucks back on me and tears up the cut edge.
