Cutting Foam

Just bought a zagi 400X. What is the best way to cut foam to end up with a
square edge? I've discovered a sharp xacto blade does not work too good.

Very fine toothed saw, followed by very light sanding with a medium grade paper. Don't sand too hard, or you will rip chunks of foam out.
