    We have a Pelican Rifle case at work that needs to be cut out to fit a piece of equipment . We don't want to hack away at it . Is there anybody around that does this professionaly ?

    The foam that comes with the case can bet cut with an electric knife or some people use a Hot wire cutter. Problem is, the foam breaks down and will loosen over time.

    For a VERY clean look, look for the high density foam they sell for pelican cases. I believe it's called kaizen foam. Pretty good videos of cutting that with a retractable knife/razor.

    Ive been looking into this alot recently for a personal probect. Seems like the best bet is a hotwire cutter. Like the guy above stated though if you use it frequently the foam will start to pull apart. Lots of people are using a product called plastidip to fix it. It turns the foam into one solid smooth piece after you cut it

    If you want to pay, patriot cases in Florida should be able to cut what you want
