I need to cut a series of straight, smooth grooves 3/16" deep, across a 24" x 48" x 3/8" EPDM sheet.
What's the best tool for a smooth finish?
I'm considering a router with a sharp bit and guide rail, or borrow a tire siping tool and make a custom tip for the required groove profile.
They're 1/2" wide, 3/16" deep on one side and sloping up to the uncut surface on the other side, (sort of a saw-tooth pattern) spaced approximately 1-1/2" apart.
The material is kind of expensive, so I thought I'd run it by the experts before diving in.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave.
