Re: Need help.

Hi Derrick,

If you are just cutting straight lines even a circular saw blade will
work. But if you want to cut irregular shapes a router is probably
the best way to go even though you may need to take several passes.
But lets hope you have started a good subject that gets a few
responses that we can all learn from.

Regards
Bob Thomas
