I'm planning to use Palram Ez Glaze panels for roofing over a deck & I'd love to have some guidance on the best way to cut the panels. They are 3mm polycarbonate panels, designed for installation on rafters spaced on 24" centers. The panels are mostly flat with channels on both edges. Kind of like standing seam roofing...
I'm planning on cutting the panels with my TS-55, but wondering what blade (the finest blades I have are the standard 42 tooth blade & the 48 tooth 495377) and speed to use. I'm also wondering about how best to support the material. I'm thinking of cutting them "right side up" with the flat span of the panel supported from below & held down to reduce vibration with a piece of plywood near the cut.
Am I crazy? Any other advice?
