Does anyone know the best way to cut a windshield?
High speed, fine tooth jig-saw?
A jig saw will work , but go slow and tape the area to stop scratching , and a fine blade too !!! A Dreamel can work too , but it does melt the plastic ...and take a lot longer...... maybe look at this to clean any edges that the jig saw didn't do too well .
The tape is there to stop the bottom of the feet of the jig saw scratching , also to help a texta to draw too , may help with a little chipping too . Wax may help the jig saw to glide on the tape .
Once done , look at filing the edge , or use sand paper , starting at 120 grit working down to some 600 wet n dry
In the factory ..we use to blow tourch the edge of perspex ,..set a nice blue flame and run around the face of the edge , this would make an instead polished clear edge ,..[ 1 m long edge would only have 5 seconds of heat over all +/- ..so you had to move pretty fast ] .... but i sugest to only do this on a few scraps first
Thanks fellas, will take all this good advice onboard.
I did mine with a coping saw...
