Cutting Corolux
 
The Corolux web site just says helpfully "use a fine toothed saw at a
shallow angle", not a lot of help that really.

How should one cut corrugated Corolux? I'd really prefer a way of
doing it with a power saw but am happy enough to use a hand saw if
necessary.

I used two bits of wood either side of the sheet to clamp it and keep the
sheet still and the cut straight. I used a tenon saw to actually cut with.

This was corrugated Corolux was it? (maybe all Corolux is corrugated)
I suppose the tenon saw has to be used "at a shallow angle" of its
nature because the stiffening bit along the back (which I'm sure has a
special name) won't go into the slot you're cutting.

If a tenon saw is "a fine toothed saw" by Corolux standards (I was
thinking hacksaw sort of fineness) then I see no problems, I'll try
your way and see how I go.

Thanks.

Just support it on a sawing horse and cut gently with a panel
saw, don't "push it" and it will be fine.
