Cabinet Cutting Question...
slug54:
I clamped mine together and cut them with a circular saw.
If i remember right, I made all the cuts except for the part
that parallels the monitor near where the glass mounts to the sides and above the C-panel.
I then un-clamped the sheets and did a plunge cut with the circ saw to make this cut on each sheet. I cut the remaining 2 "or 3 " between the cuts with my jig saw.
My cab is based on a defender machine and that was the only cut that was tough to make.

pocketz:
i clamp them together and use a circular saw for the long straight cuts. i use a jigsaw for the curves and corners. i didnt have a problem with the jigsaw, go real slow so the blade doesnt twist. then i used a power sander to even up all the edges.

shmokes:
I was planning to cut them separately, choose one for my guide and route the other down to make them exact. Is there any reason not to do it this way?
thedemo:
that idea will work, using a flush cutting bit...
probably gonna kill the router bit especially if you go to fast
