I don't know if you are near NJ, but I have 2 massive bandsaws (one wood
and one metal) with fine tooth blades. You're welcome to try them.
If not, one crazy idea would be to fill the core so it's solid, and visit
your local fire department and see if they can use their jaws of life
cutter on them. 8>)

Yes, from 12' long down to 4' long.
They tried unrolling and it's many dozens of yards long so that got shut
down quickly.

I have never seen a four foot utility knife :-)
An electric turkey carver is my goto for stuff like foam but the canvas is
stout and I don't see it working.
A rotary razor is ideal, but the best I can come up with is a disc grinder
which doesn't have the depth.
Thanks for all the ideas so far.
