I need to cut a 3/4 phenolic sheet down to proper size for a router table top, but am not sure the best way to cut it. Its too big for my bandsaw so the options would be tablesaw, tracksaw or jigsaw (not preferred but an option).
Do I treat this like plywood and use a high tooth count blade? Or use a low tooth count to prevent heat buildup?
Should I cut it in a few lighter passes or just slowly once?
I've heard it is pretty harsh on blades so should I use my nicer blades or go buy a cheap blade to use and toss?
This stuff is dense and expensive and just want to be sure I don't screw it up. I plan to wear at least N95 PPE with every dust collection I have available.
Thanks for any help here.
