I used a flush trimming bit.  See here..

DreamWeb:

What about for the rounded edges of lexan/plexi?  Would you just sand it down (is this possible?  I've never worked with it before)

Thanks guys.


walls83:

sanding will leave scratchs.  A diff. router bit will round the edges.

Taborious:

I'll give the razor knife and router bit a shot, I'll post pics after the fact.

I've worked with MDF before but I have just cut it with the blade that came with the saw. Does anyone know what the best teeth count blade is for cutting MDF. Mine is probably about 34 (7 1/4)

Mdf will cut fine with that tooth count. It (MDF) is hard on blades ao carbide tipped blades are best. For smooth cuts use a "saw board" as a guide wherever you can.

Also use dust masks when cutting MDF. It is nasty stuff, will make lots of fine dust, and is very irritating to the eyes nose and throat.
