Plastic Lattice
I'm having a brain freeze; best way to cut it? Circular saw with fine blade/masonry blade of jig saw?
This stuff used to be second nature...but I'm drawing a blank now. Plus the stuff isn't cheap and I don't want to shatter it.
Thanks in advance.

Matt

Thanks, but it hit me...Jig saw with metal blade worked like it was going thru butter.

Used both, it's pretty easy. Don't "force" either or you'll end up cracking it somewhere you're not cutting.
I bought some at a Lowes on clearance once. $2 a sheet. Bought 10 pieces. My brother used it in his outdoor wedding and then gave it back to me. I knocked the little nails he used out and put it on the chicken pen. Best stuff ever for that. I'd love to run across that deal again. I'd build all sorts of pens and fences with it. The goats didn't mess with it either (I had a hot wire running across the top and along the side to keep them off).

I always cut PVC, vinyl, and plastic with a fine tooth circular saw with the blame on backwards.
