 Foam being foam...no fiber orientation and super soft...I don't think tooth type or number will matter much. Size blade will be irrelevant unless you are cutting 3+" thick.

I agree with Windfall.  I happen to use a general purpose Freud 10” 40 tooth Diablo blade for most everything I do on the table saw.  They’re thin kerf and readily available at my local hardware store.  I’m not a fine wood worker; the Diablo is good enough for my crude work.

BTW…. BeeBop, thanks for the waxing tips a while back for coating the PF plastic frames.  I did exactly what you said and it worked like a charm.
