what to use to cut fiberglass

[Stinky_Hooker]

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

i have the Milwaukee brand multi tool, I use that thing more than any other tool in my truck. Great for cutting shims on a cabinet installation, rgeat for notching studs to burry a wire, cutting back floor base molding when installing the case molding on a door, cutting outlet boxes into the cabinet over the microwave. chamfering moldings. notching the quarter inch reveal on a top hanger cabinet to accept crown molding , square holes in sheet rock for repair,cutting door frames to slip laminate flooring under it. I even used it once to notch hinges in a door when my router broke. i dont know what i did without that tool for so many years. oh and the best part is no dust !. this week i will try it widen the hole for my new switch panel.

It cuts its like butter!!! no chipping of edges and will even cut thru core material to a certain extent. go back to the tile floor section were all the tile tools are.

Like this one? This is what I found at Lowes.

Yes sir!! that would be the one. It will last the rest of your build and still do the cut ins on your tile floor!!! lol!!!
