Does anyone know of a power tool or machine that can be used to cut through thick plastic?
Material to be cut is a flexible plastic material about 1/4 thick. Currently I am using sharp razor knives, straight edges, and a lot of muscle with multiple passes to cut. Finished cut needs to be square to upper and lower surfaces, smooth and accurate.
I will need this for production of multiple quantities of items. A benchtop or portable unit is preferred. I have need to cross cut strips and to "rip" (wrong term but the idea is the same, more like cut long strips).
Raw material comes in rolls of various widths from 3" to 18".
The cut edge will be plastic heat welded to other pieces so accuracy is critical.
Thanks in advance for any help this group may offer.
