| Plexi vs the Router |
| << < (3/3) |

Well, as the rest of you stated, routers work very well for cutting plexi. I don't think I'll ever use a dremel tool for that job again. I used my flush trim router bit for the most part and then went over the top edges with a roundover bit. The only real mistake was that I ran the router directly on top of the plexi when I used the roundover bit and it left some scratches on the plexi. I think I can cover those scratches up with some Novus 2 though, because they are barely noticeable. |

For anyone else who ever reads this (or remembers this), simply throw some masking tape on the base of whatever you're using before putting it on your plexi. Problem solved UNLESS you're not at all tidy and decide to lift whatever tool you're using and set it back down without cleaning off the surface you're about to rest whatever tool you're using and set it on some plastic shavings. Nicest way to ensure gouging the snot out of it. They also make 2" masking tape for those of you unfamiliar with anything other than the 3/4" stuff. Cover, and trim away any tape from the openings. |
