Location: Oconomowc, WI | Just wondering what the best way to cut lexan is. I know a lot of guys have them cut with water, but I'm just looking to do a few at home. Was thinking a jig saw with a fine tooth blade. Thanks. |

| What style lips are you using?? Rounded ones or the square type? I cut mine on a table saw and use a fine toothed plywood blade. Use extreme caution but it does a great job and no sanding. I made a jig to hold the pieces to cut the back slanted edges. I can post a picture if your interested. Ken |

Location: Oconomowc, WI | Yeah, if you don't mind putting the pic up that'd be great. I figured I'd just start with square lips since it'll be easier than the rounded. |
