what to use to cut fiberglass

[phatdaddy]

agree with destroyer on the harbor freight fein knock off . the nearest h f to us is 100 miles away, but i have found the bosch blades from depot will fit and tend to be a better quality than the h f ones.

I have one of them also. Biggest disappointment ever. They're good for cutting round holes in ceiling tiles for lights...that's about it. I agree totally with you that they're a POS.

As to your Frankincutter, be carefull with it..lol. (I won't tell you that I have something similar to it here at my house)

(Oh, and if you should get the HF Fein knockoff, spend the bucks and buy the kit. It comes with blades, and a nice case, etc. The cheap one for $29 just comes with a single blade, no case and I don't think it's of the same quality as the $49 one)

Dont be skeptical of the Harbor Freight multi tool. A buddy has one and we have used it a ton remodeling the hunting camp. After I used his I purchased one from lowes Dremel brand for about 90$. Best $ Ive ever spent. They will do alot that other tools like a jigsaw or sawzall just cant. Very good investment.

I guy I used to know up in NC used to build wood boats(biggest ones was 72'). When he fitted the planking to the keel, he would cut a grove for the planking to fit in. He had an old 10" angle grinder with a 10" carbide table saw blade(no guard) in it to make the cut, he said if it ever felt like it was going to catch on something, he's just throw it away from himself and let it hit the ground. He called it his bob cat. Surprisingly, when they buried him(stroke), he still had all his fingers
