How To Cut A Perfectly Fitting Foam Insert For A Complicated Toolbox – Milwaukee Packout

Learn the secret to cutting perfectly fitting tool foam for the inside of any toolbox or  equipment case. This method is especially useful on Milwaukee Packout toolboxes or any other equipment case/toolbox with a complex inner shape.

Milwaukee Packout cases are terrific toolboxes. However, if you want to line a Milwaukee Packout case with tool foam the projections and angles on the inside make getting a tight fit a true chore. What’s more, the inside of the cases change vertically as well, so every layer of foam has a slightly different shape. 

When I purchased my Milwaukee Packout cases Milwaukee Tools wasn’t selling foam inserts for easy case as they currently do, so I had to cut my own.

Since devising this method, I have found it to be an extremely effective way to create a template matching the inside of just about anything.

Watch this entire video and learn: 

• How to make templates that match the inner profile of any toolbox.

• How to use those templates to cut Kaizen Foam or any other tool foam to conform nearly flawlessly with the inner contours of the toolbox.
