Best way to cut FRP?

[Paul G]

I figured the TS would be fast and neat. I've found some scraps, so I think I'll start experimenting.

[member=14402]Handyman Mike[/member] I realize it was a while ago but what method did you use? An FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) project just dropped in my lap and found this thread because I'm wondering how to cut it with my ts75 or other methods.

I used the TS55. It worked like a charm.

That's great! Do you recall what blade used?

I've been installing FRP for years and we used to use electric shears but I strongly prefer my Mafell cordless saw now with a track. The TS55 works well to. I keep a multi tool handy for quick outlet cuts and spade bits for wires and pipe.

Also , I glue the sheets on a bench . I've seen more people glueing walls which confounds me. So much easier to trowel a sheet on the bench and just stay a hair back from the edges so you can grab with your fingers.

Thanks for sharing your insights. By the way, what blade do you prefer for this in the TS55?

We did my 3.5 car garage walls in FRP and used the scoring method.  Off topic a bit but if you're doing shop walls or a garage this stuff is fantastic.  Easy to hose off and you can beat it with a hammer and it's tough as nails.  I've had my walls in this for over 13 years and no problems/issues and I can clean it with a sponge and water.

That looks a bit like a diffuser??
