Some time ago I had to score the replacement light panels (maybe a
plastic type material) for my kitchen lighting because the standard

panels in my kitchen...




It took me almost an hour for each panel and was a royal pain. I
asked Home Depot then if there was a tool for this and they said no,
just score it. Just wondering if there is an easier way for future
knowledge???


Find a buddy with a table saw. I've cut a great many. With a good saw
it is easy to keep the panels square and be able to cut either or both
dimensions. Be sure to make provisions to not allow the lens to get up
under the rip guide. Really old lenses get brittle and tend to shatter
along the edge, but new ones cut like butter.
