I am going to install sheets of fiber glass paneling 4X8, looks to be about
..040 thick, the big box store said to use a saw to cut it.
I may need to cut the entire lenth 4ft, I want straight cuts.
Would a fine thooth saber saw blade be the way to go, as the stuff is
pretty flimsy.
Thanks
Tom

Table saw, or skill saw both with a fine bladed saw blade.
Saber saw if it binds up you could rip the fiberglass. Boards and clamps
would help a lot.

I would take Joe's advice and clamp a board for a straight cut and also use
a tungsten carbide router bit and a router, of course, to cut the material.
That's how circuit boards are cut so cleanly. I'll let you do the googling
for the tool bit....good luck, Ross

I don't know if a saber saw would be my choice, especially since you
want a straight cut, but clamp a board onto that fiberglass panel and go to
it.
