I've got 2 SpeedVault SV500 safes in our bedroom. They are great safes, but I'm having one problem with them that I haven't yet solved. The foam inserts need to be cut to fit the guns properly. I've tried cutting them with various knives, but I'm not getting good results - the foam collapses as I'm trying to cut, or I just get ragged/irregular cuts.
I'd really like to have a nice, sharp cut like you see in the inserts of Pelican cases for camera gear, guns, etc., something I plan to do for my suppressors eventually too. Looking online, it appears a number of folks like electric knives (like the ones some folks use to carve turkeys) to cut this foam. I'm not sure if that's actually the best way. So I'm reaching out to the smart folks on NWFA to see if they have a better suggestion.
I tried to get a photo of what the foam insert looks like - here is one photo from the internet that allows you to kind of see it:
Also, the foam in this insert is kind of flimsy, not dense like some hard cases, making cutting this stuff a little more difficult.
I'd love to hear your ideas.
