Need help! what's the best way to cut PM plastic?

(1/1)

playmobilfire136:
I'm making a tiller ladder truck for my playmobil fire department and I need to know the best way to cut PM plastic, I was considering a hacksaw, but then I thought a dremel tool might be better, which one should I use? or is there a different too, I should use?   


Best, playmobilfire136

playmofire:
I use a razor saw.  The backless type is best as that does not leave a burr, however, it only cuts on the pull stroke.

playmobilfire136:
I went with a dremel, it looks like it will work amazingly.

FireChief:
A dremel will work well, just be weary of unwanted cuts or melting of the plastic. ABS doesn't do well with heat. I also use a small razor saw when cutting.
