Hi,
Can anyone give me suggestions on the simplest and most precise way to
cut Formica plastic laminate into a round piece 42" in diameter out of
a 4x4 sheet?
Thanks...


A bandsaw will cut a nearly perfect circle but You will need to mount
the plastic laminate onto some hardboard first where a pivot point is
drilled. Otherwise, sissors may be enough precision fopr your
application.
