Tip: Plexi/Fiberglass Cutting Wheel
If you want a cutting wheel for your Dremel Tool that will go through fiberglass and plexiglass like the proverbial "hot knife through butter", go get the Dremel 506CU Premium Metal Cutting Wheel. See http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Accessor...aspx?pid=506CU for more info.
I bought one of these and used it for finish trimming my canopy, and it cut through in one pass easily. I had used Vans cutoff wheels for the earlier trimming and what a difference it made. Highly recommended. I wish I'd had this earlier!

Cut off wheel
Thanks. I just ran out of the reinforced wheels. I'm going to buy some of these next.

They are made of metal...I'd buy only one at first. I expect mine to last a long time with the abrasive they have on them, plus they're not cheap!
