I bought the Integy TrueCut tire lathe also, and I've used it to true 1/12th foams (Hudy Arbor), and 1/10th touring foams (Integy Arbor) and it works great. The motor is very strong and will accomodate deep cuts (althought I don't recommend that practice). I've also used it to actually cut Proline foam tire/wheels from 28mm to 24mm without any problems.
