I just cut it using my circular saw with a 180 fine tooth blade.

circular saw,cut with a plywood blade, then you need to run a file on the cut edge....iam gettin to like this stuff more and more...its $80 for a 4x8 sheet..but i tell the customer and show them what they are getting.

fine tooth saw run backwards. .. won't catch or grab. Makes a really much smoother cut

I use a fine-tooth metal cutting blade in a sabre saw (scroll saw) - Cuts shapes nice and easy.

Old Paint... get yourself a deburring tool for around $7.00. One pull down each edge results in a nice smooth edge that won't cut you. The file is obsolete.

i thank you all for the help on this issue. fine tooth blade is the way ill go. does it put extra ware to ruin it forward or backward.

While we are on the subject how many of you are using edge cap on your alumacore panels?
Posted by Chris Lovelady (Member # 2540) on :
i am going to use the edge caps. chris

Steve: I used the end caps for the first this week. Looks great and the customer loved it. Charged more for it. I will be adding edge caps on most of the time from now on.
