Routing ABS
I want to cut a 3/4" slot in an ABS end cap, but I was concerned that it
might shatter. Second problem is how to hold it straight while cutting the slot. A dado is another option if that would work better. Ideas? |

A dado is another option if that would work better. Ideas? Stick the cap on a length of pipe to hold it. Hold in a vise or similar. Then make a couple of cuts by hand with a hacksaw or even a wood saw. Jim |
