Whats the machine / tool called that cuts the holes in the foam?

[BooneHillbilly]

I am looking into shipping ideas and have used the foam blocks with the holes cut in them... Does anyone know what the tool is called that does this task? Thanks in advance!

Are you wanting to make egg shape die cut outs on the foam pieces to ship eggs?

I have no idea but there is a company that DOES sell the foam pieces to ship eggs.

I'm wondering if you could use a Dremel...

Yes I have used them in the past but they are too expensive to buy, makes the shipping to excessive. A dremel would take forever but would work for sure, what cant a dremel do right..lol.. I would imagine this machine would be like a press...

are you talking about foam rubber (soft) or styrofoam (rigid or hard)???

for soft foam these are cut using "dies" that essentially punch or cut the soft foam.

for styrofoam it's typically molded into the shape or as the previous person replied you can use a hole saw and cut the holes into it!

Its the soft foam like this site sells.
