Cary Clark / FAQ / Build / cut | |
| What’s the best way to cut a baseplate? From Will Hess: ! Patience. Clamp the plate and a ruler together and make many (MANY!) light cuts along the surface of the plate with an Exacto knife. This takes a while but it works! From Tom Stangl: ! Exacto knives work just fine with baseplates, just get a metal ruler, hold it down firmly on the bottom of the baseplate, and VERY lightly slide the knife across the first time to set the cut line. Then you can bear down afterwards and cut through in very few passes (but the heavier you press, the more likely you are to stray off of the cut line). #11 blades will last through MANY cuts, and are cheap in bulk. Using an Xacto knife takes no kerf, it basically pushes the plastic out of the way. The only loss is in what you scrape off of the edge to smooth it. |
