routing plastic question

TimS Mar 09, 2011 03:53 PM

i was wondering if a normal routing bit would work on the animal plastics rack, if so does any one have any tips on how to do so?

Yes, it should work. But, the piece to be worked on needs to be securely clamped down on a work table or it's liable to shoot out from you.

Not so sure you can use it on rack that is already built because of the distance between the shelves. Will your router fit in there? If so you should be fine, just strap it down against something in order to firmly secure it. Best of Luck!

The HDPVC that AP uses has the same workability as wood. Best to disassemble and clamp the work piece. High quality router bit is also a plus....
