its called overkill. Secondly, sintra is known to emit toxic gas when heated...so when dremeling or cutting with something that causes a lot of friction and smoke = bad idea. Secondly, sintra is the BEST stuff in the world to cut with a box cutter. its better than ABS in my opinion and grabs so much better than styrene.
Also, the cutting wheels tend to break up fairly easily, sending shrapnel flying in all directions. You'd best be wearing eye protection! 8)

Believe it or not, I used an X-acto to cut out the shapes. I'd go over the shape lightly at first to create a path (for straight edges, move the X-acto along the edge of a ruler). I'd then go over it again several times, pressing a little harder each time. This way, there's no dust, no fumes, and less shaping with sandpaper is necessary.

I think that some places call Sintra "expanding PVC signboard" but I'm not sure.
