Best tool for cutting Happs Bezel

Dagg:

My HAPPS 27" bezel is a bit wide and a bit tall,  what is the best tool for a clean cut on this type of plastic, what have you used and what were the results?

Best way is to score it with a utility knife and a straight edge.  Then we you bend it along the line it will break off cleanly.  Same as one of the techniques for cutting plexi but much easier.

dphirschler:

You can use a table saw (I did), but you better be sure you have a sharp blade or it will chip.  A router may also do well if you can clamp a board to it for a guide.

I second the scoring method. Make sure you use a metal straight edge if you can, though. And you might want to mark it in ink or something first. If you score without a guideline you risk moving the straight edge as you score.

"Don't ask me how i know."

Table saws and routers both seem overkill.

Try a Dremel tool.

I cut my last marquee with one.

And that was plexi.
