Forgive my ignorance, new builder, I assume the sanding the edge is to prevent cracks?Dremel Saw Max or other manufacturer variant.
Like a hot knife through butter.
Make sure the edge is sanded before moving the canopy.
I also used the Harbor Freight tool. Worked great and more controllable and not as messy as a die grinder.I would not use a die grinder of any sort. Get one of those oscillating multitool deals from Harbor freight. Loud but it does a great job.
Interesting idea. I always used a die grinder with the disks Vans sent with the canopy. Oscillating multitools create a lot of vibration but if it's working I can see it would make a lot less mess. What blade did you find worked best?I would not use a die grinder of any sort. Get one of those oscillating multitool deals from Harbor freight. Loud but it does a great job.
Yes. Shine a light on that freshly cut edge. You'll see all the stress risers waiting to crack.Forgive my ignorance, new builder, I assume the sanding the edge is to prevent cracks?
The finer the tooth count the better, obviously.Interesting idea. I always used a die grinder with the disks Vans sent with the canopy. Oscillating multitools create a lot of vibration but if it's working I can see it would make a lot less mess. What blade did you find worked best?
Are you saying Electric Angle grinder?My vote for Angle grinder with cutoff wheel. I tried the air dye grinder and it doesn't spin fast enough.
Yes, I hear ya there in pinching but I tried osilat tool, die grinder, the dremmel max and all were inferior to the control and cut quality of my good ol 4.5” electric grinder with cut off disk. I didn’t buy a special pastic disk, just what I had on hand for metal. It worked great and I had no issues.Are you saying Electric Angle grinder?
For any application of a rotating wheel on plexiglass, I'd suggest caution as a minimum.
This would be a case where torque is not your friend. Blade pinch combined with the torque of a locked rotor can make for very expensive mistakes.
