smokd Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 What is the best choice for tools to cut plastic? Thanks Quote
98_shee Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 I normally use a grinder with a zip blade and clean them up with a buffing wheel for the grinder its pretty quick and works good. Quote

skinindustries Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 what about a jig saw??? with like a small tooth metal blade or something.. and put the speed setting on really slow so you dont just chunk and chip it away. or like a hack saw? again these are just some ideas... Quote
swhitey917 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 i used a jig saw with a medium tooth blade.....worked perfect for me Quote
mason07shee Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 use a propane torch and a new carpet knife. "warm"up the plastic and the knife blade and trim it about an inch from the line you have drawn and repeat the process until you slow trim it to the line you have drawn. i hacked them off mine with a sawzall and then trimmed them down like i said ..... and i would have never used the sawzal if i would have known how easy the other way is . oh i have pics in the image section under "cut them off" .......... ps dont do this in the living room your gf will get pissed!

lokisbuddy Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 I use either a jigsaw, a bandsaw, a die grinder or shee metal snips, then I finish it with my dewalt grinder then I run a buffer over it, havent done my banshee yet but I did the blasty. Quote
tidos76 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 I perfer either a chainsaw or lawn mower.... lol i mask mine off with duct tape. dray my lines then use a razor blade, clean the edges with 2000 grit and buff it up. when using the blade you have to be careful to go a lil at a time. if you try to go too deap and you slip.... it sucks Quote
bbcmudtruck Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Cut off wheel followed by 300 grit sand paper. Takes about 30min to tape, cut and sand. Quote
RIPPEN Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 i used a jig saw with a medium tooth blade.....worked perfect for me DING DING DING, that is the best setup I have found.. I have used EVERYTHING from a sawzall, to razor knife to cutoff wheel.. Jig with medium blade did the best job and most user friendly.. RIPPEN Quote
smokd Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Posted February 21, 2009 Thanks fella's. I should have it cut and painted by the end of the week! Quote
skinindustries Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 when you do post some pics Quote
Mjv420 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 I would say definitely a jigsaw, I tried using a high RPM rotary tool because it was all I had at the time on a set of junk plastics and you just dont have the control you need. It wasnt pretty. Quote
smokd Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Posted February 21, 2009 when you do post some pics I will post some pics when it is finished. Thanks again guys! Quote
