I would like a tool for freehand cutting 1" and larger fonts into
blue 1/2 inch Styrofoam. Something fast and leaves a clean edge.
there are hot blades and then those little 12 volt jigsaws for gourd
carving but I've never seen either.

If you have never seen them, MicroMark sells them.
Hot knife cuts thru styrofoam like butter:

$58.30


There is also the hot wire foam cutter for $30.80

http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares...oduct&ID=82104

It cuts styrofoam up to 4 inches thick.

I think the advantage of these is that it doesn't leave little bits of
foam all over.
