Routing ABS

[Bill Stock]

I want to cut a 3/4" slot in an ABS end cap, but I was concerned that it might shatter. Second problem is how to hold it straight while cutting the slot. A dado is another option if that would work better.

Ideas?

Stick the cap on a length of pipe to hold it. Hold in a vise or similar. Then make a couple of cuts by hand with a hacksaw or even a wood saw.

Thanks, that was my first thought, just seemed too low tech. :-)
