6	All measurments in inches (if you want to go metric that's fine just change your saw blade kerf to 3.175mm and use mm for all measurments)
7	First enter your foam thickness in A2
8	Then your sawblade kerf in B2 (if you don't know just leave that alone)
9	In C2 enter the radius of the curve you're going around.
10	in H2 enter the decimal value for the fraction of a circle you're using (90degrees or 1/4 circle is .25)

12	The grey fields are your results
13	I2 is how long a piece of foam you need to accomplish this curve, this can be in the middle of a bigger piece if you have progressive curves going on
14	J2 is how much less foam you need on the inside of the curve vs the outside.
15	K2 is the number of kerfs you need
16	L2 measure that many inches from the end of the piece, mark/cut a kerf, and do so at that distance until you have the number of kerfs from K2
