anyone have success cutting thick (.060" & .080") styrene strips with any of the suggested saws (except the basically unobtainium Byrnes saw)

 

thanks

Have you tried sticking it to a backing piece of thin (1/8" or so plywood) I can't speak for styrene but I successfully cut 0,015" copper and brass sheet doing that on my Proxxon KS 230 saw using their thin fine toothed # 28020 50mm blade. Just take it slowly so you don't melt the styrene plastic.

I’m at a loss by what you mean by “thick” .

 

What are the dimensions of the stock, and what do you want to end up with?
