Ok so its my first post on the forum.... I want to learn how to cut HDPE sheets with a circular saw and use a router as well to cut out basic shapes like squares out of 1/4 inch HDPE sheets of 4' x 8' material max 3/8 inch material...
So im just confused because I hear about deep feeding when cutting, cooling when cutting, certain rpms to it does not melt so im overwhelmed...
I just want an answer to these 3 questions
1. How to cut HDPE sheets with a circular saw like what specific saw blades should I use and why those specific ones? If it helps I have a dewalt 60V cordless brush less circular saw.... Holds a 7 1/4" saw blade and I will just be doing straight cuts with the saw. Cutting 4 x 8 sheets into 4 x 4 then 4 x 2 sheets. Literally like that
2. Then I want to know about cutting HDPE with routers like what drill bits do I need I keep seeing "O" flute and ball nose which I have no idea what it is... So ill be making basic square cuts in the middle of a sheet of HDPE so what type of bits and strategies/tips do you know..
3. Do I need to cool off hdpe while cutting? How can I do that?
Thank you guys in advance!
