Best way to TRIM a plexiglass bezel

Pages: << < (2/4) > >>

Seriously, a router, a pattern bit and a straight edge will do the trick - it cuts through Plexiglas like butter and you can make highly accurate cuts.  Obviously test it on some scrap first but I've done this many times.   :cheers:

i agree..use a router with a flush trim bit..just clamp it to a piece of MDF or somethign with a nice straight edge and use the MDF as a guide..works beautifully...as far as i'm concerned..it is the only way to cut plexiglass.

MrMojoZ:

I've used a router to shave by the mm on plexi, works great.

Trig:

Thanks for the suggestions.

I've got a router, but unfortunately I don't believe I have the recommended pattern trim bit.  I think I'll try the dremel sanding drum with two straight edges secured to either side and also scoring on a test piece of plexi and see how it goes.

router and guide all the way, i did my cp overlay that way and the cuts are flawless.
