I tried to look around to see if this was posted already,
but did not see it anywhere, so forgive me if it is a repost....
These are a specific series of tools just for cutting foam board
like the DTF boards used in the swappable series.
I found the 90*/45* cutter at Hobby Lobby on the discount shelf
along with two packs of extra blades for 1/2 off marked price.
It makes me think HL will not carry them any longer though?....
but I found them for less than HL was charging on a few online sites
with a quick Google search anyway.

I found the straight/bevel tool (90*/45*) to be quite useful for
cutting out the A/B fold channels, as you can set the blade depth
to exact, and infinitely repeatable cuts, that make removing the excess
very easy without damaging the paper on the outside of the channel cut.
They have a cut guide (ruler type with side wall) I would like to get my hands on too,
not to mention the double 45* cutter for ailerons and tail feather separations,
and the circle cutters look like they might be useful also.
I have no affiliation with this company, but I thought that for people like me,
whom have a very long winter building season ahead of us,
and intend to take full advantage of the time it provides to build
as many DTF planes as possible while the weather restricts our flying time,
it might be useful information.
I also found that Xacto has a 90*/45* foam board cutting tool,
but it seems that is the only foam board cutting tool they offer,
and my LHS did not carry it. BUT, the blades are the same as the Foamwerks
blades, so I will not be left in the dark when I need fresh blades!
(and they are reversible, like the HD "box cutter" blades mentioned in several FT videos,
and much more stout than #11 type blades)
but did not see it anywhere, so forgive me if it is a repost....

, this is the tool from HK.
