Hi all,
I'm trying to cut a quarter inch thick sheet of nylon. So far I've tried
using a 80 tooth circular saw blade and another that has teeth like a
hacksaw blade. In both cases, the cut was terrible and there was a lot of
melted nylon along the path of the cut. I also tried to cut the she
would cut even with a very heavy duty paper cleaver but some are remarkably
capable, they will remove fingers.

Wouldn't tin snips work also?
I mean, if a sheet metal guillotine will work, doesn't that mean a pair of
tin snips will work just as well?
Just thinking out loud folks.

Have you tried first scoring it with the point of a sharp utility knife then
folding it away from the scored side to snap it? It may not come fully away
but you can then just run

Dale's mention of a sheet metal guillotine reminded me that again, if you
can acces one, a shingle cutter might work for cutting this mylon. They
might not be as sharp as a sheet metal tool, but may be worth a try.

Yes, the stuff can be really hard.
You want a slow speed if you use a jigsaw so the blade doesn't get hot.

Hi Dale,
I tried using a utility knife but it barely made a scratch in the nylon.
I'm going to borrow my brother's jigsaw and see if that works. Thanks.
Take care,

How wide is this nylon? Maybe a straight edge and a new blade in a box
cutter.

Ed,
What if you heat up the nylon before trying to score it. It might make it
just that bit soft enough to take the blade. Not sure if the heat will
mess up your nylon or not though.

Hi Darrin,
When I discussed the nylon problem with my son, the mechanical engineer, he
said he thought a band saw should work. He said he'd talk to his boss at

I wonder if lubricating the blade with a light oil while cutting would help
keep it from melting? I've used automotive transmission fluid for ssimilar jobs
and it works well. Assuming it wouldn't penetrate
