trying to cut according to WOF's JP plans lots of tight cuts though. dont have a bandsaw andscoring wont work here..also dremel cutting wheel wont make those curves.:facepalm
X-acto knife with a couple of passes does the trick.
If it's a straight line you can just do one or two passes and then snap the piece off and tidy up the edges. Watch your fingers though .
I've found this to be the best thing for cutting thick sintra with a Dremel:
Doesn't gum up like the Dremel abrasive cutting wheels. The cuts are literally paper thin too. You can curve it a little bit, but for tight curves, I just make several passes at different angles and then go back and round them out with the Dremmel drum sander tool.
FYI: I've never seen these in "official" Dremel accessories, only at places that sell generic "rotary tool" accessories. I found mine at "Big Lots" (AKA Pick N Save and MacFrugals in other parts of the country) for $2.49.
I usually use a cutting wheel to cut out my rough piece of suntra as close as possible to the template. Then I switch to a sanding drum to sand to my marks. THen use sand paper to smooth the edge and sahpe.
WEAR GOGGLES AND A RESPIRATOR. A cheap dust make won't cut it. Don't breathe this stuff, espacially if it's melting.
Which is smart. Working alone is not a good idea; if you injure yourself in a way that can incapacitate you (inhaling dangerous fumes, excessive bleeding, etc), it's always good to have someone there who can watch over you.
