Thread: Cutting into painted fiberglass, need a few suggestions

Tweet

Normally I use a die grinder and cut off blade.

Another option is to go to the hardware store and buy a handle that holds a hacksaw blade that sticks out of the end. You can use this... but only cut on the "in stroke"... lifting away from the edge you are cutting...so you don't lift up on the painted edge when you pull it out on the backstroke. Slower... but accurate and careful.

I agree with Dave (IC2). Just make sure you take it slowly and you should be fine.

Hey I found that a Fein MultiMaster tool works great for cutting fiberglass(It vibrates back and forth)You can buy a cheaper version of one(black and decker,sears,porta cable) use the metal blade and keep a cup of water handy to dip the blade in when it gets hot,also this tool keeps the fiberglass dust down!!
