Re: Stus-List Advise on cutting fiberglass

After a couple decades of marine repair, I own and have used most of the tools mentioned so far. The one I do NOT like is the Rotozip. Having said that, my choices for a straight cut would be a vibrating saw or a jigsaw. Slight tilt toward the vibrating saw. My choice of jigsaw is the Bosch

Re: Stus-List Advise on cutting fiberglass

When you drill a hole, don't forget to chamfer it to prevent hairline cracks from appearing in the gel coat. Dremel tools with little grinding discs are great for small cuts in thin glass like interior liner etc. Also great for fixing those hairline cracks. When I rebuilt the front of my

Re: Stus-List Advise on cutting fiberglass

Rick, when I did my portlights I tried a bunch of different methods to cut the openings. By far the best blade you can use to cut fiberglass with a jigsaw is called Sterling - Glass-fab blades #87072 has the Bosch shank & #82032 will fit the B They cut clean and relatively quick and hold up

Re: Stus-List Advise on cutting fiberglass

I recently made ceiling panels out of FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) using a saber saw with a fine tooth blade. The blade will be ruined by the time you're finished, but blades are cheap. You can touch up the cut with sandpaper. There are router bits for laminate, but I think they're for

Stus-List Advise on cutting fiberglass

As background, I installed an opening port on Imzadi to replace a fixed aluminum framed portlight, and it didn't go to my expectations. I had to expand the existing opening by a small margin, and decided that I could use my handy dandy Dremel tool to cut the fiberglass laminate. But the cut I got
